Hi there! Nice to meet you

Alwyn

After a career in the steel industry, I am now a qualified (Ulster University) tour guide whose mission is to orientate, inform and entertain visitors. Very importantly, we will have fun along the way!

Belfast has seen the worst as well as the best of times ... and now is looking forward to the future with hope again in its big welcoming heart.

I have a great passion for this wonderful, resilient city. Through its buildings, unique locations and pointing out many hidden gems, I love to tell the rich, complex and fascinating story of Belfast and its people.

I would give him 100 stars if possible! Very personable and knowledgeable. We are history NERDS and he geared the tour to it. We learned so much about the city and country. He was extremely entertaining as well. Lots of stories behind buildings and murals and things only a local passionate about their city can tell you. Book him for your time in Northern Ireland and you will not be disappointed.Best tour ever!

Alwyn is a very special person, charming and warm, funny, full of knowledge. He adapted the tour for our very special family reunion to include places that had meaning for us, as well as the general Belfast sites that take in the city's history. If you are trying to choose a guide, we'd all highly recommend Alwyn.Very special tour with with special guide

Alwyn is a fabulous tour guide, eager historian who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Belfast. He’s a local too so up to date with the current hot spots. Alwyn tailored our tour with a focus on history both ancient and modern. Highly recommended!Alwyn’s tour is a ‘must do’ in Belfast

We (family with kids) had a lovely Sunday morning tour around Belfast with Alwyn. He was friendly, willing to accommodate to our location and very well prepared (with ear pieces for everyone connected to his mic, really helped to overcome the city noises). He clearly loves what he does, and gave insights to the town, country and its people history. Great tour, with nice vibes

What a joy it was to experience Belfast with an enthusiastic and experienced guide. Alwyn walked and talked us through the interesting history of Belfast. His local knowledge and pride were evident in all of the many stories we heard. He was candid and yet very balanced with his perspective about the “troubles”, which was of special interest to us. We can’t recommend him more highly. Fabulous tour with Alwyn

Alwyn was a fantastic guide during our visit to Belfast. He provided a thorough and insightful history of the city, covering both the Troubles and the surrounding periods with great detail. Despite the heavy subject matter, Alwyn offered a hopeful outlook for the future, which was refreshing. He also showed us some great local sights and recommended excellent drinking spots. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a balanced and informative tour of Belfast! Belfast Uncovered

Alwyn took us at our word and gave a very personalised time. We did not necessarily want to see the town but wanted to know more about the history- old and recent that has made NI what it is today. Alwyn brought history to life and was balanced in his views, which is difficult considering the divide. We learnt a lot. Thank you very much Alwyn for the time you gave us. Historial abd personsal
