Thomas gave us an excellent, informative Belfast tour. He explained the complicated history of the Troubles in an understandable way. We saw the murals, the international peace wall, the border walls, the neighborhoods, Belfast Castle, and more, all while hearing fascinating stories and history from Thomas.

    Exceptional Tour with Thomas

    Byron_W, Jul 2026
    We certainly enjoyed our tour with Thomas! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and informative of all things Belfast and surrounding areas. We toured iconic buildings and sites. And, we even got to sign the Peace Wall! It was a remarkable experience that we would encourage everyone and anyone to take. You will be glad you did! Thomas was a great guide and driver and our ride was very comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour with Thomas!!!😊

    Don’t Buy-a-Tour from Viator!!!

    Lewis_D, Jul 2026
    Totally botched by the tour provider and Viator, the tour organizer. Our guide was a “no show” on the day of the tour booking, and we are still awaiting a thrice-requested refund! Terrible job by Viator!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for your feedback, and I am genuinely sorry for your experience. Unfortunately, on this occasion my vehicle was in for servicing, and I mistakenly believed I had cleared my availability on Viator. The booking therefore remained active when I thought it wasn’t, and I take full responsibility for that error. I can only apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment this caused. I refunded the full cost of the tour as soon as I became aware of the mistake. If there has been any delay in that refund reaching you, it is likely due to Viator’s processing times, but I am more than happy to assist in any way I can to help resolve it. I understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when visiting Belfast, and I sincerely hope this unfortunate incident did not spoil your time in our city. I appreciate your feedback, and I will ensure this cannot happen again. Thomas

    Thomas was amazing,history of Belfast and how the Troubles could have been avoided. He stopped at a pharmacy so I could get some cold meds . Asked if we are going to Crown Liquor Saloon he said we could, ran into people we just met that were having a beer told them we had a driver waiting ,we mentioned it to Thomas he said”If that’s what you want to do I can wait”…so we did …Iasked if he could drop us off at the bus pickup instead of hotel where we met him…said I’ll take you back to your cruise ship…top notch guy

    Thomas shared his great knowledge of Belfast and the historical significance of past history. Great storyteller! Thomas made our visit very memorable.

    Darlene, thank you very much for your review. All the best Thomas ( Tomas ) 😁

    Outstanding!!!!

    Margaret_W, May 2025
    Thomas was a veritable wealth of information. He provided an excellent historical overview of the city. The mural exposure was exceptional. We got a thorough look at the city of Belfast and an understanding of the development of the Troubles over history and the way they still reverberate through the activities in the city today. Thomas helped us find activities we wanted to pursue after our tour. He was personable, helpful and we couldn’t be happier with how much we enjoyed this tour.
