About us
Belfast: the story of a city.
At Odyssey Walking Tours our guides know the Belfast area like the back of their hand, and can deliver top-tier tours that touch on all our famous landmarks.
This is a tale of two cities. From 18th century enlightenment to 20th century war, we trace the story of Belfast in the company of a historian.
With him, you will travel back in time as you walk the streets of a place soaked in tales of intrigue and revolution; that at its pinnacle, was the greatest industrial city in the world.
Call us on +447930698741 to book.
When you're in a new and unfamiliar city it's always a good idea to get shown around by someone who knows a lot about the city. We promise you will learn something new with us.
Go Out and Explore!
Join us for an exploration of Belfast's - and Ireland's - troubled past as we take you on a journey through 1500 years of history. After a short exploration around the City Hall area we set off on a circular tour around the town. We show you places off the beaten track; we walk our oldest streets and stand at the site of mighty battles and ancient landmarks soaked in history.
Having lived through the recent troubles, our guides were witness to many of the major events as they occured. We will share with you stories of old Belfast, and throw in a wee bit of gossip for good measure.
We will visit the Linen Quarter; the old markets area; the ancient docklands and walk through the entries and Cathedral Quarter. We'll see fabulous street art; our earliest places of worship and hear of the city's "near miss" with the slave trade.
Using old photos and illustrations, we will help you experience the city in a unique fashion, covering many more points of interest and covering more ground as we see how our city rose from a small, highly contested river crossing to one of the most powerful industrial cities in the world.
Join us for an unforgettable tour where you will hear about dates and facts and figures and buildings but it is also about enjoyment as we bring Belfast and its rich cultural heritage to life.

This experience was amazing! It was a very good use of our time -- we got to see Belfast and learn about its history. I'd definitely recommend this experience. Beats walking around on your own aimlessly. Martin was highly knowledgeable, friendly, and welcomed our questions. He even had pictures that brought his stories to life. He took us to places that weren't included in other tours. I also liked how it was a private tour - just my boyfriend and myself. Martin was even kind enough to take pictures of us!
