Discover Belfast in a way that goes beyond ticking off the sights. This walking tour invites you to experience the city through the eyes of a local. Instead of a list of dates and facts, you’ll hear the humour, character, and stories that truly shaped Belfast.
Led by Corey, a born-and-bred local, the tour blends history with lived experience—taking you from ancient myths and industrial triumphs to The Troubles and the city’s modern revival. Along the way you’ll explore landmarks like Belfast City Hall and the Cathedral Quarter, as well as hidden corners and overlooked details most visitors miss. Expect tales you’d hear shared in the pub, plus a few words of Belfast slang.
What makes this tour different is its storytelling spirit. It’s not just about places—it’s about people, resilience, and humour. Every walk is filled with warmth, wit, and plenty of craic, leaving you with a real feel for Belfast’s heart and soul.
