Martin is terrific! His knowledge of Belfast and it's history is outstanding. Brilliant tour, huge amount of fund. I would unconditionally recommend Martin to anyone traveling to or enjoying Belfast. He's both a gentleman and scholar. Great way to spend a morning.

Tripadvisor review: The Story of Belfast walking tour with a local guide
Martin is an amazing narrator.
His knowledge is so extensive my party felt privileged to be taken along with his colourful journey of Belfast’s history.
I was keen to avoid a tour that leant heavily on ‘the troubles’ and Martin exceeded every expectation.
Bringing together the medieval, cultural political past he offered a well-rounded picture of why Belfast is where it is today.
A cliche - a glint in his eye - but Martin’s skill of entertaining whilst informing made the three hours whizz by.
I have taken walking tours through numerous cities of the world and this was head-and-shoulders above them all.
Thank you, Martin - it was great!
Based on our Troubles Tour
Wow, this was an incredible experience! We grew up in the '80s and knew about the Troubles, but really didn't understand them at all. Martin lived it. He takes you to the hot spots in Belfast and shows you pictures of what the area you're standing in looked like after a bombing, etc. Then you walk all over the battleground sites and also view the (still existing) walls that separate the Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. Wow, so real. It took me several days to process everything and write this review. It was a very emotional experience; we're better for having done the tour. I don't generally write glowing reviews, so know that my praise is legit. If you're interested in the Troubles, Martin is your guy.
Martin our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable of the history of the place with an unbiased perspective. Excellent. I would recommend it if your time is limited in Belfast.
Our guide Martin was very informative of Northern Ireland history. He was very knowledgeable, and laced with local tales, made it very worthwhile listening to. Would highly recommend.
Martin has a wealth of Irish history and folklore at his fingertips. In all our travels and many land tours, he is far away the best tour guide that we have ever had. I can't extol his virtues enough.
Martin is AMAZING! We were lucky enough to have a tour with Martin on our own and he was so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and insightful. He certainly knows so much about Belfast and all of its history. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you for having us!!
we loved his sons of humor he was extremely informative and so knowledgeable I don't know how anybody could keep that many dates in their head. thank you Martin for an unforgettable experience in Belfast
We truly enjoyed our time with Martin. First of all, before we even came to Ireland, Martin was so helpful in answering my millions of questions. In person, he was a lovely man, very thoughtful and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the history of Belfast. It was not about the Troubles, which was perfect of us. He talked more about the historical figures in Belfast's history. Thank you Martin for such and enjoyable afternoon

Our guide Martin is a very friendly, humorous and well-informed guy, he spent all his time to inform us about Belfast, including his insider-stories you won‘t hear anywhere else.

If you would like to know the story of Belfast then this is the tour for you. Not only was Martin the perfect host, his delivery, knowledge and joy of sharing that knowledge with visitors was a joy to behold. A truly unique experience and one my wife and I would highly recommend. Thank you Martin once again and hopefully we will have the pleasure of meeting you again during future visits to the Great City of Belfast.
