Discover Belfast on a Private City Sightseeing Tour

Our private Belfast City Tour is a fully guided, four-hour introduction to the city, with convenient pickup from your hotel or the cruise terminal. Travelling privately with an experienced local guide, you set the pace and the focus — making it an ideal first visit for couples, families and small groups.

Belfast’s recent history is best understood on the ground. Your guide leads you through the Falls Road and the Shankill, where the political murals and the Peace Walls — first raised in 1969 — chart the city’s path through the Troubles and the decades of reconciliation that followed. Their expert commentary brings real context to sites that are difficult to interpret on a self-guided visit.

The tour also takes in the landmarks that define modern Belfast. You’ll visit the Titanic Quarter, where the RMS Titanic was designed, built and launched in 1912, and pass the city’s great civic landmarks — including the grand Belfast City Hall and the imposing Crumlin Road Gaol — for a complete picture of the city rather than a single neighbourhood or a fixed bus route.

As a private tour, every itinerary is tailored to your interests. Stops, timings and pace are arranged around you, with the comfort of a luxury vehicle and the undivided attention of your own guide throughout the day.

Wonderful Private Tour!

We arranged to be picked up at the cruise terminal, and our guide (John Paul) was waiting for us as promised. Our tour was very interesting, and John Paul was very knowledgeable and was willing to customize our tour in real time. The vehicle was very nice, and John Paul was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour company, and in particular, John Paul!

Amazing Guide

We had Nigel as our tour guide. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and very familiar with all the roads and where to park. He really made the whole day extremely enjoyable! I mentioned we might go to the Cathedral Quarter after the tour and he even drove us by so we could see it! Thank you so much! I would not hesitate to recommend this company for your tour!
