5Fantastic walking tour with the Marti Way
A first visit to Belfast with my partner I was fortunate to find myself on an in depth walking tour with the Marti Way. What an experience. A font of historical knowledge, Marti tailored our tour to give a true sense of Belfast, past, present and future. Keeping his tour party small it felt like a stroll around the city with a mate. Marti delivered it in an honest but ultimately positive manner. Thanks again Marti and I’m sure our paths will cross again on our next visit.
5A new friend.
What can I say about this lovely man. His knowledge of his city is second to none. This is not your average tour , so much more and personalised to what you want to do . We spent 4 hours with marti, and felt like we were with a friend. We shared beer and chat along the way and learned and saw so much of this beautiful city that marti is filled with hope for . Would definitely recommend. Thanks marti. See you next time.
5Excellent tour tailored to our interests. I recommend for all!
Yet another great experience. This is the second time that I took the tour with Marti. Last time was with my family and this time was to introduce a friend to the city. Marti tailored the trip, going out of his way to focus on areas important to us. As a Belfast native, living abroad for my adult life, I am delighted to see the progression of my home city. I am sure this is not the last time that I will be on the Marti Way! I recommend for all.
5The Marti Way
***An Unforgettable way to understand Belfast*** The Belfastology Eclectic Walking Tour was hands-down one of the highlights of my time in Belfast. It's not just a walking tour - it's storytelling, history, humour and local insight all woven together brilliantly. Marti our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and refreshingly honest, bringing Belfast's complex past and vibrant present to life with warmth and wit. We covered politics, culture, music, and street art. The tour helped us understand the history, fascinating local anecdotes you'd never find in a guidebook. We had many laugh-out-loud moments. Marti always ensured everyone was enjoying themselves and answered questions. The tour felt authentic, respectful, and he was deeply rooted in the city. If you want to actually understand Belfast - not just see it - this tour is an absolute must. I'd recommend it to anyone, whether it's your first visit or you think you already know the city. Thank you Marti we thoroughly enjoyed your tour.

About Belfast
Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital, a harbour city between hills and lough, known for shipbuilding, Victorian pubs, murals and the Titanic story.
Belfast grew with the linen and shipbuilding trades, and the giant yellow cranes of the old shipyard still stand over the docks where the Titanic was built and launched in 1911. The Titanic Quarter now holds a large museum on that story. In the centre, the domed City Hall, completed in 1906, stands in a square of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and the Cathedral Quarter has cobbled lanes and old pubs.
Top-ranked sights in Belfast: Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges.
