My husband and I were looking for a walking tour during our stay in Belfast. Unfortunately we only had one day, but we found Marti’s Street Art, music and pub experience was still available. The group was small the night we went, so we were able to ask tons of questions as we walked through the city and admired the street art. It blew us away how much Marti knew about his city, and how passionate he is about it. He also knew a bunch of people! He took us to some community areas ie music studio and explained how Belfast is all about bringing together people and everyone supports each other. He was also very knowledgeable about all the street artists and when the works were from and what they represented. He did a fantastic job showing us the city so we had our bearings and gave us so many recommendations for off the beaten path bars and pubs (we walked through many many cool bars but no one wanted to stop for a drink as we wanted to see as much as possible). It was well worth the money, and we even got a drink with Marti after at the Crown Saloon!

I highly recommend this tour, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Marti is a fantastic guide, who really knows his stuff about the troubles and the history of the street art in the area. He was very welcoming and charming, which helped our tour group form a bond during our time together. I will take another tour on my next visit to Belfast.

Seeing Belfast through the eyes of Marti is not only learning about the city history in a fun and enjoyable way but an experience! Quite the character Marti is...quirky and yet so knowledgeable. Beautiful buildings, murals, pubs, monuments etc. are seen everywhere with interesting details to be learnt about from Marti. Highly Recommended!

Such an excellent tour, I’ve done a few in Belfast and it’s one of the best. Really enjoyed seeing the different the street art and how it’s changing, would highly recommend Marti’s tour if your free for a few hours in Belfast.

An excellent and unique tour with Marti. We saw so many different places and stories that we wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for him. His firsthand knowledge is second to none. His passion for Belfast and its people shines through. We would most definitely recommend doing a tour with him and we'll be doing another when we next visit. Thanks Marti (The ukulele night you recommended was so much fun).

Would highly highly recommend this walking tour. Came to Belfast for a short few days and felt like I’d learnt all about it in such detail. Marti is a very welcoming, wholesome and charming chap who knows his stuff! He did a fantastic job at showing us the whole history, city, street art and more. Would 100% recommend this very authentic tour, Thank you!

Marti is not just a wonderful tour guide, he's also a great storyteller! He will show you a lot of cool street art, historical pubs, and variety of live music venues. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Belfast!

Marti is both knowledgeable and entertaining! We enjoyed the way he explained the history leading up to the troubles and gave us exposition on the different parties involved in the conflict. He showed us projects and murals that are forging peace between both Protestants and Catholics, rather than focusing on what divides them. His message of love and peace is so vital. Marti also is very knowledgeable about local art, music, and food spots! Take his tour, you’ll enjoy it!

I enjoyed a private version of Marti's "Eclectic Belfast" tour yesterday afternoon when I had a few hours free in Belfast. Marti was able to accommodate me at short notice and we had a relaxed walk around many of the streets and alleyways of Belfast, and a few interesting refreshment stops. The tour lives up to its name and is an eclectic mix which covers history, architecture, street art and murals and although I've previously lived in Belfast, I learned many things I had not known before. We also walked through one of Belfast's most prestigious hotels, the Merchant Hotel, on our route. Marti is a likeable and engaging character and his tours will definitely enhance your visit to Belfast and I whole-heartedly recommend.

We attended Marti’s Political Murals, Street Art and Trobles walking tour in November. We were unlucky with the weather, but Marti lead us through the storm and his tour was definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Belfast. Marti really knows what he’s talking about when it comes to history, street art and all the troubles the city has lived through. His stories brought the political murals to life and we totally enjoyed the walk despite the weather. Our group warmly recommends choosing Marti as your guide to Belfast, he does not only have extensive knowledge, but also great eye for perfect photo opportunities and he was very easy to approach and friendly. I hope to visit Belfast soon again so I can join Marti on one of his other tours and get to know the city from yet another angle. Thanks Marti - not only for the amazing walk but also for broadening our perspectives!

Marti is a very friendly, interesting and highly knowledgeable tour guide. I was visiting my friend in Belfast so we booked a private tour which he tailored to our personal interests, focusing on architecture and music. We both learned a lot and had a great experience. Highly recommend.

S. J.

We had a great time with Marty. He was full of energy and enthusiasm for the city, and even as a local I learnt a lot of interesting facts about Belfast. I would highly recommend to both tourists and locals alike.

H. R.

We had an incredible experience on the walking tour, the information was personalised and in depth, clear and concise. Marti was a genuine host and really looked after us on our tour. For a way of getting a good feel for a city fast and to discover areas where you may want to look deeper this is definitely the tour to take. I cant recommend this enough.

Eclectic is the perfect name for this tour. SO much information covering so many different aspects of Belfast and NI/Irish history, present, and future. The level of knowledge that Marti has is incredible, and it was fascinating watching his eyes look up to the right as though he's reading a script in the sky, as he gives an incredible level of detail about everything. The tour started with introductions, discussing what we knew, and what we wanted to get out of the tour. It followed with a detailed history of a few major points from the last few hundred years that set a foundation for what we were about to see. We then set off on a walk around the city, going through so many different streets, stopping at so many different places, and going in/out/through bars, hotels, and restaurants. He was well known in many of those places, and was welcomed by them. The tour was very personal - he remembered our names, and little details from the introduction that were frequently brought into elements of the tour. Highly recommended. Thanks Marti!

Highlight of our trip! A fascinating look back into the history of Belfast and the region that really helped understand how Northern Ireland became the wonderful country it is today. Aidan took us all around the city centre and up to the river pointing out key sights and districts. He intersperses his experiences of growing up in the city in an amusing and compelling fashion! Thanks again!

R. K.

Marti is an outstanding tour guide who helped me learn a lot about Northern Ireland. I recommend this tour highly - Marti can give you an idea about a lot of things - pubs, local attractions, gardens, wildlife, etc. I've recommended his tour to others and they have all had a great time. He is very enthusiastic about Belfast and his enthusiasm is quite infectious. :)

The political murals tour with Marti was superb - we learned so much about the artwork and the history of the troubles, including the current situation of Belfast. I recommend taking a tour with him while you’re in the area.

Spending a few hours dandering around Belfast with Marti is a pleasure. He is able to give you a detailed and very personal view of Belfast, having grown up there and experienced it first hand. He has real passion for design and architecture and art, things that Belfast has in abundance so it's a perfect match. Happy to tailor things if you have particular things you'd like to hear about, and happy to chat on all sorts of subjects so don't be afraid to ask. Highly recommended.

T. J.

Marti's walking tour was a fabulous way to begin our stay in Belfast. His knowledge of his beloved city and his personal, small group approach made it a 4 hours plus well spent evening. One of the best walking tours I've been on. Highly recommended.

K. K.

Marti was an awesome guide! He gave an great background into Ireland's history before showing us a wide range of murals, both historical and contemporary. It was a wonderful tour, and Marti is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, willing to adapt the tour to your individual interests.

Great tour by Marti around Belfast City centre. A lot of interesting information about the city's history is given at the beginning, followed by facts about the local buildings, then it is on to interesting sites and hidden gems and finally the growing street art scene. The time flew by, perhaps a bit rushed at the end by enjoyable nonetheless. Used the message function in Google maps to contact the organiser of the tour which was helpful and very easy to use.

We (both 28, from Germany and in Belfast for two days) decided to book the political mural tour as we didn't want to take a taxi tour and wanted to do a walking tour instead. To be brief: the tour was fantastic! Our guide Marty took two and a half hours to show us many fascinating facets and corners of Belfast, taking into account our personal interests and going above and beyond to give us a window into the more recent history of Belfast. After the tour we wished that we hadn't only stayed for two days (book a week instead!) and will pass on many of Marty's recommendations and tips on to our friends, should they visit. Thank you Marty for a lovely and stimulating afternoon and all the best! P.S.: The fish and chips at Bright's were great and we got some nice souvenirs at The Wicker Man!

This tour was a highlight of out stay in Belfast.Marty's creative and innovative way of doing a tour served us beautifully.We learned and experienced much more than we had expected. We highly recommend Marty as a guide. He is remarkably conscientious. The Taylors

Marti's Belfastology Tours are one of the best ways to get to know the city from many angles. During our stay in Belfast we took part in several of his tours because we liked the first one very much and Marti convinced us as a tour guide. The Eclectic City Center Tour was followed by the tour to the Peacewalls and West Belfast and finally The Pub Walking Experience Marti's knowledge of the city in which he lives and grew up has made a lasting impression on us. We have learned a lot about this breathtaking city that we have never read in any of our travel guides. Marti's insider knowledge gives you a completely different, more personal view of this city. The great thing about Marti's tours is that he doesn't follow a pattern, but also spontaneously adapts to the wishes of the participants. He helped us to understand the complex soul of this city, so that we had the impression that we really got to know Belfast after Marti's tours.
