Got this as a complimentary offer after the Museum has cancelled our visit due to refurbishment.
It was disabled friendly with the exception of the S.S Nomadic.
Thank you Katelyn for an excellent time and the care and consideration she showed towards me as I was on my mobility scooter.
Packed full of facts it was extremely interesting and informative.
The tour of S.S Nomadic was a very relaxed affair allowing you to go around at your own pace with staff on hand to answer questions.
Peter was our guide. He was clearly knowledgeable, but unfortunately, it was fairly obvious from the start that he was rushing to make it to his next tour, so we just about had the hour we were supposed to get, although several of the reviews say they got much more than that.
Was it worth the £13pp (£26 per couple)? No - certainly not. If you walked round and read the boards, all the information was there anyway. We didn't see the dry dock that's in several peoples pictures - no idea where that was.
Basically, if you walk round with your eyes open, and read all the boards, you'll do the same thing and save yourself £26 a couple. But if you want it easy, and want to make absolutely sure you don't miss anything, pay the £26
This was a real surprise. Colin is passionate and knowledgeable about the Titanic story, and as he says Belfast built a magnificent vessel and are proud of this.
His walking tour covers much about Harland Wolff, their story and evolution, through the buildings that are there and the infrastructure that is long gone. He brings it to life with stories of real people.
He also takes you to places that most visitors miss out in - the dry dock for example.
To complete any visit to Belfast’s Titanic precinct take Colin’s walking tour. You won’t be disappointed.
Our tour guide Colin was a wealth of information, and the many locations were profoundly impactful to visit and stand in. The tour was 1.5 hours but went for 2 hours, which was an added bonus because we could spend time taking photos and marinating in the locations without feeling rushed. Compared to other similar walking tours this was better value and had more substance. There is a reason Titanic Walking Tours are the original and the best. We had guided access to many historical locations related to Titanic and a detailed explanation and backstory for each one. Unfortunately due to renovations and works being carried out on the pump house and dry dock, we were unable to gain internal access to these, however I don't feel this diminished the tour in any way because we were still able to view them externally, and were so lucky with all the other internal locations being accessible. (With any private buildings there may be minor access restrictions to some areas occasionally.) Definitely worth the time, money and experience.
Fantastic tour by a really passionate guide which helped a lot. A must do, better than the main museum with lots of history and bits that are still there. Definitely a concerted Titanirac after this tour!
No-one turned up to give us this tour, we had paid in advance and stood waiting for quite some time. We were unable to get in touch with anyone to find out if it was going ahead, and no-one responded to the voicemail that we left. We eventually received an apology email at 22.55 that evening and later a refund. We walked to the dry dock ourselves to have a look, and it is now closed off, you cannot gain access to it anymore, so the advertising for this tour is inaccurate & misleading.
