Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had the pleasure of taking this tour on Saturday the 11th of July. Incredible value for money with so many nuggets of information I didn’t know about Belfast and it’s rich history.
The tour was professionally delivered in an entertaining way by our tour host Barney.
Highly recommend and I will be recommending this to my family who live overseas when they come to visit.

Hotels, clocks, pubs, fountains and water pipes - all aspects of Belfast’s history covered in two hours. The famous and the unknown gems of the city centre brought to life in a very entertaining way by our guide Barney. Highly recommended

My friend and I are currently touring Northern Ireland by motorcycle and I received a link from my wife advising me about this tour and noting that our last chance to attend was in just 3 hours time. As we like these type of tours and after a short discussion we decided to reschedule our day so I booked the tour online which was easy and we set off back to Belfast to meet at the specified point, we weren't disappointed. Our guide Barney was waiting for us at the meeting place at 1 p.m. and advised us we were the only two on the tour so off we set. the tour was interesting informative and fun and lasted a little over 2 hours at an easy walking pace. We really enjoyed it and was particularly impressed that Barney had turned up to guide just the 2 of us , as often some would think it not worth the effort..
Many thanks Barney for an excellent afternoon

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Barney is good company as well as being very knowledgeable on all things Belfast.
I’ve done most of the tour’s around the city, by taxi, bus or foot and this is up there with the best of them.
If you’ve got some spare time on your hands, give Barney a call, he’s good value.

A brilliant, informative tour that is well worth doing if you are in Belfast. As someone who is originally from Northern Ireland and has visited Belfast a lot over the years I thought I knew a lot about the city. But this tour provides you with something different and gives stories you are unlikely to have heard about. The tour guide Barney was friendly and funny and made the tour well worth while. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent and well presented tour with a difference. It is original in content and the tour guide, Barney, has obviously carried out thorough research. He delivers his tour with passion and enthusiasm. Although I worked and socialised in Belfast most of my life I found this tour to be very interesting. I would certainly recommend it. Thank you Barney, and to use an old Northern Ireland saying, "Keep Er Lit"
