Walk Belfast City Centre with a local guide through The Troubles, from Belfast City Hall to Beacon of Hope, with headsets and big context.
“VERY informative and sensitively handled. I worried that it would be a sensationalist or „horror” walk. Super guide Mylie did a terrific job. My trip to Belfast would have been poorer without this tour.”
Belfast Political Tour crossing the peace wall on foot, with mural stops and personal stories from nationalist and loyalist guides, all for about 3 hours.
“This was such a unique and fascinating experience. The two guides were knowledgeable and gave good insights into all sides of the conflict from their direct experience. Although booked through Yellow Umbrella, the tour was actually executed by a well-known group in Belfast providing political tours, Coiste Political Tours, who work with great guides and are very experienced in this work.”

Walk Belfast’s Troubles murals and Peace Wall with a small-group guide, from Cathedral Quarter to Shankill Road and Bobby Sands.
“Marty’s walking tour of Belfast Political Murals Street Art and Peace Wall is unique and not for the faint of heart. However, if you want to learn about the lived experience of the people of Belfast during the post 1960s civil and political unrest (The Troubles/Na Trioblóidí) as well as the current and future hopes for the city, then this is the tour for you. You will come away from this tour with a deeper understanding of Belfast and Northern Ireland Conflict. You’d also be hard pressed to find a bigger booster for the city today. This walking tour is akin to a one-man show where for over three hours…”
Belfast night walk with a small group, guided past City Hall, churches, murals, and the Titanic Quarter, with local tips for later plans.
“Yes, Marty does give an eclectic tour. He touched on very old Belfast and brought us into the current era all while showing the many sights around the city Center. I didn’t know much about Belfast but now I have a general appreciation of its varied history. Marty did a good job of informing me on our tour. And at the end he helped us pick out a restaurant for dinner. Thank you Marty”

Belfast Private Walking Tour with a local Lokafyer, customizable on foot from Victoria Square, 2 to 6 hours, mobile ticket.
“This tour is a great option if you are looking to learn about the city from a cultural aspect and get personalized recommendation on what to do, where to go and etc. However the only thing that we felt was lacking was knowledge about the city's history which was a shame as we were very interested to learn more about Belfast's history. To be fair though, our local guide, Johnathan was a very kind, accommodating, and generally flexible as we decided what we needed to do throughout the day”
