    Marty was the absolute best. My friend and I had a private tour with him. He took us to all the murals of the troubles and explained how the communities are moving toward. He’s the most dynamic tour guide I’ve ever had. I highly recommend spending time with Marty while you’re in Belfast. He is so knowledgeable, interesting, and has such a passion for the city.

    Fabulous tour with Marti, was such a fascinating walk and covered so much in a really encapsulating yet respectful style particularly when passing through the Catholic and Protestant areas. Will be sending all my friends your way Marti, and will be sure to come back next time we’re in Belfast!

    The guide promotes positivity and hope for the future. His tour includes political murals on both sides of the sectarian divide but he also shows how murals are being used to change the messages people receive. He is s knowledgable and his tour is thought provoking.
