Outstanding experience! Fascinating history, open to questions and full of information. Frank’s life is as varied and interesting as the tour itself - you won’t regret picking him as your guide. Would absolutely recommend!

A great way to find out more about the history of the troubles in Belfast. Two very informative guides, very different in presentation of information but both so knowledgeable and friendly. Good to know: not so suitable for those with mobility issues, 2nd half was a lot of getting in/out of the taxi which my mum found hard.

Allen was a very knowledgeable guide.

Mr. Higgins, our tour guide, really brought the scenery to life with his tales from Irish history, Irish folklore, and his own personal history. He brought us to numerous Game of Thrones filming locations and went into detail about the fascinating parallels between GoT and the history of Ireland. The beauty of Ireland, Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle are amazing, but Mr. Higgin's storytelling and expertise as a guide really brought our experience to the next level.

Many thanks for your kind words Matthew. It was my pleasure to take you both to Winterfell, Castle Pyke, the Bravos Canal and much, much more. Come back soon!

Wow such an incredible tour & our favourite activity in Belfast. Frank was so knowledgeable on the history of Belfast & the ‘Troubles’, he completely opened our minds to what the city was like & kept a very honest account with his own experience of the ‘troubles’ added in there. He’s a fantastic storyteller & id reccommend this tour to everyone who has an interest in history or who’s interested in visiting Belfast.
