About
Let me take you on a wee dander (a leisurely walk) as we say around here. Through the city I grew up in, and as we go on a voyage of discovery, let me paint a picture off its past, present and future. Noted for it's marvelous architecture, renowned for it's ship building, and praised for it's attempts to bring peace to it's people. My Eclectic City Center tour is the most popular to date, though I have created many more expereinces for you to get to know Belfast and Northern Ireland, better. Discribed by many as the perfect introduction to Northern Ireland. My Experiences have been developed to educate, entertain and help you discover a land that has given man so much. As we walk we'll discover it's colourful History (through it's buildings), it's incredible people, and the many things invented here. You'll hear of it's troubled past and continuing road to reconciliation. So have a read of the discriptions of my many experiences. And Let me take you Back to the Future TheMartiWay.

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.

Quite an amazing tour with Marty! He sat us down for a brief intro into the history of Northern Ireland and how the Troubles started. We were then guided through the city centre, him giving us details as well as best pictures spots. We visited both sides of the Peace Walls, all the while seeing amazing murals and getting lots of interesting details not only about the conflicts but more importantly also about how peace is maintained. Finished up tour in a super lively pub with a live band, thank you Marty for the experience!

Great tour through Belfast with Marty as an informative guide. Marty guided us through the story og Ireland, the story of Northern Ireland, the story about the Troubles but also told about the peace and most importantly about the hope and hope for the future. We Will highly recommend this tour and Martys company. He taught us a lot and maybe - just maybe - he will remember the danish “hygge” :-)

Fantastic tour. Marti gave us one of the most memorable tours I've had, sharing a great amount of knowledge and also making us feel at home as we walked through the streets of Belfast meeting locals along the way. In my opinion, the best way to learn about the great city and have a great time while you're at it! Thanks Marti!

Why thank you 😀 Taking you through the past, present and future of the local Street Art and Music scene. Entering pubs from different century's I guess it's a bit different, in my Eclectic manner along the Marti Way. And am happy to hear you enjoyed the experience

We booked this walking tour about 6 to 8 weeks before arriving. After scanning through many of the tours available on the Booking.com app, we saw the description of this walking tour and thought it looked very interesting, came at a good price, and, fitted in with our plans.
We met Marty at 6pm at the Belfast Town Hall entrance. Much to our surprise and delight, we were Marty's only guests, so we had him all to ourselves.
Marty then walked us all around central Belfast, explaining the rich history of Belfast and the stunning Victorian architecture. It was a detailed yet entertaining lecture, and he is a gifted raconteur. Perfect for history-buffs like us.
Along the way (as it did rain a bit!) Marty took us into a couple famous cafes and pubs, explaining the details of these magnificent buildings. He also gave us loads of tips about where to eat, drink, stay, other things to do and see in 'booming' Belfast. We used a couple of his tips for eating and drinking the next day.
Marty was everything one wants in a tour guide: knowledgeable, open to questions, friendly, and looking out for our welfare. He assessed our knowledge of Northern Ireland and any topics that we wanted him to emphasise.
We both gained invaluable knowledge about this interesting country, and we'll be back. Maybe Marty could take us on a political-historical walk around the murals and peace wall one day. I'd always been curious about Belfast and Northern Ireland from a young age, having heard and seen so many stories and movies about it. Rosie also has Irish ancestry and has had to teach it at AS/A2 levels. Marty's Belfastology tour didn't disappoint. All what we wanted and more, at a really excellent price.
Thank you Marty,

Super informative. We learned a lot about the history of Ireland and the troubles in particular. Marti was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. We got a good feeling for areas in Belfast and saw spectacular murals. Thanks again Marti!

Fantastic tour. Really interesting hearing the whole history about the ‘The Troubles’ and see the art which explains the story. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was excellent value for money.

A third party booked Marti on our behalf and we had no idea what to expect. We were really lucky to get Marti to ourselves, his knowledge of Belfast is extensive, he shared the history from as far back as he could possibly go and was completely unbiased, he injected humour and interesting facts throughout and took us to places we couldn’t have possibly found ourselves in the time we have here. Everyone seemed to know him and he is obviously quite a character in the community. We would definitely use him again, he has a few different tours which we touched upon today. We loved him and would highly recommend him if you want something different and interesting.

Why Thank you, your travel consultant did well to find you your own private version of my Eclectic Belfast Walking tour. Which I like to bespoke to my guests interests. And of course being Belfast everyone wants to findout a little about the troubles. Which I just fit into the timeline at the beginning of the tour. And then we set off to discover a wee bit of the past present and future of this part of the World along #themARTiway 😀 which also touches on some of my other walking tours as you rightly say. Many thanks for recommending my experiences. And hope to continue the adventure next time you're in Northern Ireland 🤗
