The tour will highlight its distinct past and present, passing by iconic sites such as the Grand Opera House and other hidden gems. Our guide will narrate captivating stories from 250 years of history.

You will find out about the location of the largest bell in the city and its temporary silence. Notably, Led Zeppelin performed ‘Stairway to Heaven’ live in Belfast in 1971 for the first time.
