What a fun way to tour Belfast. Our personable guide was especially attentive to our needs, asking us if we had any questions or requests. Highly informative.

A very enjoyable morning despite the typical rainy weather. Not letting it dampen the experience. Paul our tour guide navigated us through the wet streets of the city impressing us with his quick wit and knowledge of the city. Especially the dates of buildings! We loved the range of food and drinks provided and despite being apprehensive about eating oysters I am now converted.

Wonderful day out with Paul Clarke, telling us stories about Belfast City and it’s history. Spectacular Northern Irish food, drink and murals along the way, with lots of great craic. We all hail from Belfast, so no matter where you are from, we would certainly recommend this tour.

One of the best city tours we have ever been on. The tour guide Paul was really skilled and such great craic. Even though we are from N.Ireland the tour brought us to some real hidden treasures that we didn’t know. The food and drink was high quality and plentiful and we met such lovely people. A great way to spend three hours at a great price in Belfast City. Do it now!

A wonderful food and drink tour in Belfast. Ciara led the way from one delightful and delectable experience to the next. Everything Belfast has to offer from local and traditional products and dishes combined with an even greater selection of beer and whiskey, exciting new and old history and warm welcomes everywhere we went. Because of Ciara, the tour included a lot more than just food and drink. She loves Belfast and was happy to address all of my questions, making this a fantastic day. I would love to come back

We have just completed the food tour of Belfast with our guide Paul. This was the perfect way to spend 4 hours on our girls weekend in Belfast. The tour mixes wonderful food and drink experiences with some history of the city. It takes you to places that you may not find on your own. From delectable cannoli, to Irish stew, oysters, Guinness, cider, whiskey .. and the best sausages I’ve ever tasted .. a word of advice, maybe skip dinner! Paul was a fantastic guide giving us lots of insights into the history of the places we visited. We’ve done a few food tours across the world, and can highly recommend this fairly new edition of Belfast .. worth every penny .. thank you Paul

We've just finished with Paul, our tour guide for the Food Tour of Belfast. This was the ideal way to spend four hours during our Belfast weekend. The tour combines delicious culinary and beverage experiences with some historical history. It leads you to locations that you might not otherwise discover. Delicious cannoli, Irish stew, oysters, Guinness, cider, whiskey, and more are all available. Additionally, the best sausages I've ever had. A suggestion: maybe skip dinner! Paul was an excellent tour guide who provided us with a lot of historical context for the locations we visited. We've taken a few secret food tours around the globe and can recommend this relatively recent edition of Belfast. Well worth the money. Paul, thank you!

Paul was a fantastic tour guide for all of us. He gave us a ton of background information, took us to amazing places we wouldn't have discovered on our own, and showed us special areas of Belfast that made me feel more at home and fascinated with the city. Would really advise anyone visiting to have this experience!

We got this tour as a gift for a friend's birthday, and Ciara was indeed an excellent guide. The tour took us to several locations where we learned about local history and sampled a variety of food and beverages. Ciara made everyone feel welcome and included with her amazing friendliness and expertise. Being from the area, I definitely recommend the tour!

Did this tour as a birthday present to a friend, and we had such a good time with Ciara as our guide. The tour took us to a variety of places that covered local history as well as a variety of food and drink. Ciara was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and made everyone feel included. I'm a local and would definitely recommend the tour to anyone!

Good combination of food, drink and history of Belfast. Even though I live not far from Belfast and have visited it many times, there were places I didn't know existed. The tour guide Paul was excellent
