I was born, raised, and made in Belfast and have a passion for the history, culture, and notable people — all of which Belfast and Northern Ireland have in abundance. Having grown up during the Troubles, being born in 1969, I have the lived experience of what our city went through and how it has risen to rightly be one of the premium city breaks in the world! My tour captures the origins of the city from the humble banks of the hidden River Farset through to rebellion, industry, conflict, and peace. Come and walk with me to hear the real story of Belfast.

"Absolutely fantastic walking tour with Stevie! From start to finish, he brought the history, culture, and character of Belfast to life with such passion and knowledge. His storytelling was engaging, thoughtful, and often humorous, giving real insight into both the city’s past and its present. Stevie struck the perfect balance between historical facts and personal anecdotes, making the tour feel personal and memorable. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about Belfast, you’ll walk away with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for this incredible city. Highly recommend booking this tour — Stevie is a brilliant guide, and this was a highlight of our trip!"
"You don’t just see statues with Stevie - you feel Belfast. You leave understanding it, proud of what the city has become, and mindful of what it has endured. Stevie doesn’t just tell Belfast’s story - he’s lived it. His walk is about the struggle, resilience, and hope of a city reborn. From the Big Fish to City Hall, he brings history alive: Henry Joy McCracken, Thomas McCabe, Mary Ann McCracken, Frederick Douglass, and the chapters shaping Belfast today. With photos and maps in hand, Stevie makes the past personal. You don’t just hear history - you walk through its layers alongside him. "
" Stevie made Belfast come alive. We could tell he loves his city and has put a lot into learning it's history. I highly recommend This is Belfast Walking Tour "
