My sister and I went on this walk in December, so first and foremost bring layers and dress warm! With that said, we didn't get a chance to think about the cold too much because Marti kept a great pace and we went into so many buildings/pubs that you stay warm easily! Moving on from talking about the cold, the tour itself and everything we got to see and learned about was so amazing! Marti is very knowledgeable in every art piece we saw as well as the building we got to go into and see. He also works in some history with the tour which made for a lot of great stories!

Marti's love and knowledge about Belfast is evident from the get go. He is well informed about the history, culture and politics and has an encyclopedic knowledge dating back to the islands first inhabitants. Our trip was also great fun and we discovered so much in the time. Would thoroughly recommend and will try another of his tours next time im in Belfast.
