The guide, Jorge, was truly amazing! So knowledgeable and funny. Best tour guide we've ever come across, to be honest. We had just one morning off on our work trip, and we couldn't have spent it better! We love that we decided to explore the city this way, and would actually take the tour one more time, if we had the time.

Heading to the Titanic mueseum? We took the City Sightseeing bus and learnt a little history from the charming driver as we headed out. Its only a few stops along the route so doesn't take up too much of your morning.
If you've time at the end of your visit, complete the sightseeing route and take in some Belfast history that you may otherwise have not realised you needed to know! Money well spent!

Troy was a great tour guide and very entertaining. However, it wasn't clear when we booked that Carrickfergus Castle isn't open in Mondays. We'd have booked another day if we'd known. Also despite reminder messages from you, my name wasn't on his list.
