“Private West Belfast Walking Tour with DC Tours – fantastic experience! From our first contact with Mark Wylie to our tour of West Belfast with James Ellson, DC Tours was fantastic to work with and we would give 10 stars if we could.”
“I went on a Troubles tour with a friend, and we had Gabe as our guide. Travelling in off-season meant we had the pleasure of a private tour. We had a great time touring around the city with Gabe and learning about specific incidents, but also his own personal experiences. My friend and I both work in the Tourism industry and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend touring with DC Tours, voted #1 for a reason!”
This is just to thank you and especially James for an absolutely fantastic tour. The guys unanimously said it was the best thing we’d done as a group, which is praise indeed, given they’re a pretty picky punch and that we’ve done a lot of stuff together.
It was informative, fascinating and the four hours just flew in. Even I, as someone who lived in Belfast through the worst days of the 70s learnt and saw some new stuff. I’m sure you already know that James is a brilliant and extremely knowledgeable guide but I’ll say it again anyway. Please pass on a huge thankyou from us to him.
“This was hands down the best walking tour I’ve ever done. Mark was informative, funny, and personable. The content didn’t focus on one side vs another but rather a regular civilian perspective. I also really enjoyed how much of the focus was on how Northern Ireland can move forward.”
“This was by far the best tour I’ve been on. Our guide Steve was well full of witty insights and stories and we got to discover many new parts of the city.”
“It was massively interesting, sent my head spinning with thoughts and filled me with empathy, and immensely compelling. An absolute must for any traveller who wants to get under the skin of Northern Ireland today. ”
“James was an absolutely fantastic tour guide, giving us a rich and thorough overview of Belfast, weaving a rich tapestry of history and personal anecdotes. We highly recommend this tour for newcomers to Belfast! ”
“What an absolutely incredible tour. If you want to understand what this city is about, take this tour. Our highlight in Belfast. ”
“Steve’s knowledge is only matched by his humour and passion for the subject as he guides you though hundreds of years of history. Your trip to Belfast would be lacking in you did not take in this walk.”
“It was the most memorable part of a fascinating trip to Northern Ireland.”
“Super engaging and gives a nuanced and in depth look at the history of Belfast. A really great way to get to know the place.”
“This was the most thought provoking, informative and riveting tour I’ve ever experienced.”
“The best walking tour I have ever been on – We had Paul as our guide! He was absolutely phenomenal. A funny and vibrant storyteller.”
“Little did we realise how this tour would help us leave two days later with the city having captured a place in our hearts.”
“Paul really knows his stuff, it’s presented factually and impartially, and he’s a cracking storyteller.”
