Mark our guide was brilliant, very informative, knowledgeable and funny. He covered a wide range of topics and we were sad we didn’t have time to do another tour with DC before we left Belfast. Best of Belfast is great if you want to know more history apart from the Troubles and Titanic!! 10/10 would recommend.

Hi, thanks so much for the great review and recommendation, we really appreciate it! Great to hear how much you enjoyed the tour. Best wishes, Mark.
Our guide will meet you at the front gates of Belfast City Hall and your tour will begin with an introduction to the tour and the history of the city.
In Bank Square you will discover the history of St. Mary's Catholic Church and its unique grotto, and the original Belfast Castle which stood nearby.
As you walk into the Cathedral Quarter your guide will introduce you to the remarkable history and stories of the United Irishmen and their contributions to our city's development.
As we walk along the historic Hill Street, one of the last cobbled streets in Belfast, we will introduce you to some of the best street art in Belfast along with our recommendations for our finest bars, restaurants and nightspots, together with the story of Punk in Belfast and why it was so important to us in the midst of the Troubles.
The Customs House is one of the finest buildings in the city and was home to 'Speaker's Corner'. You will learn some of the stories of the best and worst orators to have stood here, together with the history of one of the oldest pubs in Belfast still standing nearby.
As you walk along the banks of the river Lagan you can look across to the famous yellow cranes in Harland & Wolff shipyard. It was here that the Titanic was built over 100 years ago. You will also hear the legend behind the stunning public sculpture 'the Salmon of Knowledge' and visit our favourite piece of art, the Beacon of Hope, which symbolises the resilience and regeneration of Belfast in recent years.
The Albert Memorial Clock is Belfast's very own 'leaning tower'. At this historic spot you will discover the reason for the angle and also learn how Belfast got it's name. And we'll show you our most famous footballer's favourite pub!
The Belfast Entries are at the heart of the oldest part of the city. Today they have been turned into an amazing outdoor art gallery. Here you will get to explore dozens of pieces of art each with its own story to tell, while hearing about the importance of this area and the people who lived here over the centuries.
In the pedestrian precinct at the heart of the city you will discover the meaning behind some of the quirkiest public art in Belfast, together with its alternative name and the centuries-old stories of the historic buildings surrounding it.
Your tour ends at the Titanic Memorial back at City Hall, where you will hear the story of the most famous ship built here and of some the people who sailed on her, before finishing with tales of some of our most famous citizens (whose statues are to be found in the grounds) and their contributions to our society.
