Guided tours Belfast

Several tours, which invite to discover one of the dark pages in Northern Ireland and particularly Belfast, through the wall paintings of Falls and Shankill Road. These taxis also accompany guests on scenic shores north of Belfast.

Coiste organizes "political" tours of West Belfast's Republican neighborhoods by former Republican political prisoner guides. Many tours. Falls Road Mural Tour, to see the Falls Road murals. The Ballymurphy Story: an IRA stronghold during the conflict in which the population actively supported the IRA, a very personal tour by a guide who grew up in this neighborhood. Milltown Cemetery: the cemetery where all the great figures in the history of Irish Republicanism are buried. City Cemetery: another place where many heroes of the republican cause have found their final resting place. United Irishmen: a visit that looks back at the 1798 revolt of the United Irishmen Society for Irish independence. This society gave birth to Irish Republicanism as we know it today.

Another joint tour with a loyalist organization in Shankill Road. This tour involves 1.5 hours in the Falls Road area with a Republican guide and 1.5 hours in the Shankill area with a Loyalist guide. This is a unique opportunity to hear two versions of the recent conflict from people who were actively involved. These tours connect history and personal stories. The guides do not offer "the truth" about the events, but simply their view. Coiste Irish Political Tours is a social enterprise that works to defend the rights and reintegrate former political prisoners.

An open-top bus that takes you on a 90-minute, 8 km tour of the city, taking in the Titanic Quarter, Stormont, Shankill and Falls Road, Queen's Quarter and Clifton Street. Visitors can hop on and off the bus as they please to better appreciate the different sites and neighborhoods. During the journey, a guide tells you the history of the city through a microphone, with anecdotes, some funny (it seems, but you have to understand the Irish accent and humor for that!) and some not so funny.

Here, we propose a walk on Queen's Island where the shipyards that built, among others, the mythical Titanic are located. The tour includes a visit to the Harland & Wolff cranes, a tour of the buildings where the architects drew up the plans for the Titanic, the possibility of walking on the bridge where the Titanic was born (the famous Titanic's Dock), as well as a visit to the Pump-House and the screening of a film (with a half-hour break for lunch at the Pump-House café; please note that this is not included in the price).

If you are interested in gastronomy, this agency may well interest you. It offers visits on the theme of food, terroir, whiskey, gin and beer. Everything you need to know to get the most out of Northern Ireland's gastronomy and specialities. They are best known for their 4-hour Belfast Food Tour, a full gastronomic tour that has already won awards and will take you to discover local producers at St George's Market, traditional pubs and good restaurants in the city. On the programme, you will drink and eat more than 25 of the best local dishes and drinks. They even have a French guide!

Since 2020, Barney - who you'll recognize by his blue flag, sheriff's star and broad smile - has been taking you on a unique 2-hour tour of the stories behind the city's buildings. The Europa Hotel, the Grand Opera House, the Sunflower pub, Commercial Court Street: these places will no longer hold any secrets for you. Behind their stories (and funny anecdotes) is the history of Belfast and Northern Ireland. A fascinating tour punctuated by period photos and pertinent commentary.

An expatriate in Belfast for 24 years, Stéphane has taken a close interest in his adopted city. The range of tours he offers in French is the result of years of research. It's a real investigation, carried out with meticulous impartiality, which this teacher is delighted to share with us. Several tours are offered (Discovering and Understanding Belfast, Maritime Belfast, Historic Belfast Pubs, The Troubles), bookable individually or in blocks. You'll come away surprised and enriched by the new knowledge generously imparted by this fascinating guide.
