Review of Belfast’s Marti Way walking tour, covering history, street art, landmarks, local tips, group size, price, and who should book.
“Marty was an exceptional guide cramming so much information and individual locations into our tour. He told us to places that would/could not have accommodated other larger groups. Going round the city he seems to know a load of people and recounts personal stories as well as a HUGE amount of history. Whilst outside City Hall he identified the Lord Mayor and we were able to be photographed with her. Marty is a great investment of your time in Belfast.”
Explore Belfast’s murals, Shankill Road, Bobby Sands mural, and Peace Wall with a local guide on this thoughtful 3-hour walk.
“Marty offers unique tours. He keeps the group small. He is very knowledgeable and will try his best for you to learn as much as you can. For me it was too much information in little time but this is personal because some people prefer it that way. His English accent is clear. Easy to understand. You need to keep pace with him not to miss anything he says. Be aware he doesn’t use a microphone like other guides do. He walks fast. Think if you would also be able to walk fast. We walked a bit more than 6km in 3h. He loves teaching and showing, and will do…”
