Arthur is very passionate about his city, and this tour will make you notice things you never other wise would have appreciated. Arthur does not brush around the troubled history, instead he offers his own opinions, memories and recommendations on the Belfast of today. He truly caters the tour to each person to make it bespoke depending on what you... More

During our recent visit to Belfast we were looking for something other than the standard bus tour and came across Experience Belfast. Even though the tours had stopped for the winter Arthur agreed to meet the two of us and give us the tour. It was a very interesting couple of hours with information and insights into the City that... More

Arthur gives a very interesting walking tour and knows just about everyone and everything there is to know about Belfast. He's very engaging and makes you laugh. Was worth every penny and highly recommend if you're eager to learn about the city. More

Arthur guided the four of us around the town centre on foot and delivered the perfect introduction to its rich history and current challenges. There was a story told at every turn. Not just dry facts about when things were built and by whom. These were colourful stories that didn't shy away from the complexities and contradictions of a fascinating... More

We met Arthur opn a very cold Saturday fir what turned out to be a very interesting walking tour. It was very informative to see things from a different kind of perspective. While seeing the walls is also interesting, this tour will give you a rounded impression of Belfast. More

Arthur welcomed us on a Sunday morning after booking his Tour on the Internet. We were a large group of Catalan students from Barcelona, and he did his best to let us know very clearly what the Belfast pride is like. We all heard from fim loads about history and culture of the city, and we had a great time... More

Arthur was incredibly informed about his city in a delightfully positive way, but was also caustically funny. Not for the easily offendable. My husband is from Belfast and I have been visiting for 14 years, but saw the city in a very new light. The end take is as much about morality and an attitude to life as it is... More

Arthur provided a lot of historical information, which can be overwhelming, but his casual style of delivery and his sense of humor made it both memorable and rewarding. I highly appreciated his focus on the peace process and the realities of the city that point to progress or seem to hinder it. In terms of scope, we saw many of... More

I did this tour with my wife who is from Northern Ireland and she learnt as much as i did about the true history of Belfast ,with an emphasis on the positives of the City rather than the negatives. Arthur possesses a wealth of knowledge and passion for his City, interspersed with an opinion or two along the way, which... More

My three friends and I took Arthur's walking tour a few days ago. He is far from a bland deliverer of facts, preferring to pass comment on the past and the future of his beloved Belfast with opinions that are not stated cautiously. This, his great sense of humor and theatrical demeanor made his walking tour entertaining and at times... More

Thank you for the very positive review. I think that I should make it clear that my tour is based on facts and I have gone to a great deal of trouble to ensure that the content of the tour is accurate. From the review, I was a little concerned that it may appear that the tour consists of me... More
