About the Tours
The Belfast Blitz Tour explores the night that 200 German Luftwaffe bombers dropped their cargo on the city, unearthing scars that can be seen in the streets to this day and putting common misconceptions to rest. The Darker Side of Old Belfast Tour takes guests through the cobbled streets of the Victorian red light district, exposing the notorious residents and ghostly goings that have riddled the streets for years.

Reviews
While not widely reviewed at present, Tours of Belfast has attracted a favourable review from Culture Northern Ireland.
The Darker Side of Old Belfast is a hugely enjoyable two and a half hours, delivered with trademark blacker-than-black Ulster humour by the endlessly knowledgeable [tour guides]. It’s not a ghost tour, more a macabre history lesson, though the guides do throw in a few supernatural titbits.
