There will undoubtedly be a lot written about the Ulster Workers’ strike this year, as we mark its fiftieth anniversary. I was interested in looking at it from a civilian perspective, because that’s what we do at DC Tours. [...]
Our private tours are not just for large groups, they are also a great way for you to see Belfast at a time that suits you. And you get the guide all to yourselves!
Whether you're a local or a visitor, our Best of Belfast tour aims to showcase the very best that Belfast has to offer. And now, we're excited to introduce a fantastic addition to the tour: The Best of Belfast Map!
Donzo recently made a video with Irish travel website Ireland Before You Die about the history of Belfast’s famous Europa Hotel. Watch his three minute potted history and then dive a little deeper with a BBC archive report from the 1970s and an in-depth documentary by Al-Jazeera.
Have you ever wondered how our guides maintain their incredible stamina and athletic physiques? Complex carbohydrates are a vital source of energy for tour guides, and the best place to find them - whether you’re a guide or a guest - is in a home bakery, a uniquely Northern Irish institution.
There are plenty of us who would say that you need to have a fair level of surrealism about you to live in Belfast. But Colin Middleton, who is the subject of a new exhibition in the Ulster Museum, was once described as Ireland’s Greatest Surrealist, so this show bound to be worth a visit.
We are absolutely delighted to be named as finalists in the Tour Innovator category of the Arival Spotlight Awards, our first ever global award category. We are the only finalists representing the UK and Ireland across all five categories.
Two names on the Titanic Memorial at Belfast City Hall have asterisks against them - John Horgan and Thomas Hart. But what are the asterisks for? I did a bit of digging and here's what I found out.
We had a very special guest out on tour with us this week. Andrew Meador was our second guest ever when we started the tours back in 2013. This weekend he came back for a second trip with Donzo to see what's changed in the last ten years.
We are delighted to have been approved for membership of the Conflict and Legacy Interpretive Network, a group of museums and heritage organisations who are working together to look at how best to collect, interpret and share conflict history.
If you have any interest in Belfast architecture you will have heard of Sir Charles Brett (1928-2005), whether as the author C.E.B. Brett, or Charlie Brett. He was a fascinating figure, a solicitor who was variously a politician, historian, artist, journalist, writer and conservationist.
In July this year Donzo took a group of students from Purchase College, State University of New York on a private tour of the murals in West Belfast. And last week he got a chance to attend an afternoon of theatre, music, art, dance and conversation presented by the students in response to their time here.
