About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- CJCPAJD0 contributionsBest tour of BelfastThis was an incredible tour - all due to Mick and his insightful history and explanations. I understand that a two person tour is more of an investment, but I really felt he allowed us to experience Belfast. This tour was well worth the time and money, and I recommend Mick without reservation!Written May 20, 2024
- susanbZ2178HD0 contributionsBest tour guide I’ve hadMick was the best tour guide I’ve had - we had two days with Mick and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He had so many facts and stories to tell and was so interesting. We could never have learnt as much if we toured by ourselves. Mick made our trip to Belfast such a memorable experience. If you want a five star tour - contact him.Written January 6, 2024
- Jenan20000 contributionsNice short visitNice city to visit for a weekend. Titanic museum was the highlight of this trip. I got a good package deal from easyjet for a flight and a one night hotel stay.Written September 29, 2023
- bubbles9110 contributionsLearned so much and had a fantastic timeDid a shore excursion for 6 adults. And asked to add on a pub. The history he shared was fantastic, and that he was about my age and grew up in the times of the troubles made it all that more special as he shared his experiences. And he shared details of his life. But presented everything through a neutral lens so we got a full story. I felt like we saw all of Belfast and did so at a great pace. He had water and snacks for us so we could try his favorite chips(crisps). And he gave us great choices for our pub stop, but we picked Kelly’s from 1720 and it was a highlight of the 10 day cruise. Plus in addition to the troubles and related history we also saw the castle and the parliament buildings. Very customizable. Very knowledgeable. We all were very happy with the tour. Definitely book with Mick.Written September 16, 2023
- R A0 contributionsVery insightful tourWe arrived in Belfast via Cruise ship and did the GIANTS CAUSEWAY 3 STOP COMBO TOUR with Mick. The taxi van was very clean and comfortable- which is important when you are travelling in it for a few hours! He is a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide who is very friendly and goes out of his way to make you feel at ease. Would thoroughly recommend booking with Mick for any of your touring needs.Written August 17, 2023
- EpinorthATL0 contributionsSites plus InsightsOur cruise ship did not offer a Belfast tour that included the Giants Causeway and Belfast highlights, so we jumped at the opportunity to book Mick's 5-in-1 tour. Mick and the tour did not disappoint. We cannot say what we appreciated more -- the sites themselves, or Mick's insights, particularly about Belfast. The Giants Causeway was a wonder, Titanic Museum interesting, (the glens were mostly covered by mist and fog that morning), but we were moved by Mick's personal experience and perspectives about Belfast's neighborhoods, The Troubles, the Peace Walls, where things stand today and perhaps tomorrow as we visited Belfast sites. It is a long day, but a full and fulfilling one.Written July 31, 2023
- erinsP4047SG0 contributionsExcellent cruise ship excursion for Antrim CoastMick gave a great custom tour to our party of six. We had taken an Antrim trip a couple of years ago and we wanted to revisit some places and see some new places. He knows of some great vistas and hiking trails that are absolutely gorgeous that made our day extra special and memorable.Written July 21, 2023
- A7522GGwendyc0 contributionsEasy Shore Excursion for Groups!Micks Tour was super accommodating for our big group and provided a fun custom excursion for my big family. We were picked up at the port and back to the ship in plenty of time.Written June 19, 2023
- Ambassador6194610 contributionsMick is the Best of the Best! 2 day bespoke tour.Look no further. Mick is the best of the best. Picked up 6 ladies from Dublin, then gave us a tour of Belfast city on day one. Saw Peace Wall, murals, IRA museum, local neighborhoods and local pub for lunch. On second day went to Carn Lough (saw where Arya Stark crawled out of the harbor in ‘Bravos’) Cushendun Caves (saw sites where Ser Davos helped Melisandre give birth in the caves) , Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede bridge, Dark Hedges (!!!), Glenariff Forest Park and along the North Coast Road. Mick share so much knowledge of the area and took us to places we didn’t expect, but became highlights of our tour! He also made sandwiches for us so we didn’t have to spend time grabbing lunch. Went above and beyond what one would expect. I wouldn’t tour with anyone else! He even had a surprise for us at the Dark Hedges when the ‘Ice King’ came out! And he has props for us to get into the spirit of GoT. Only 2 of us were fans, but all 6 enjoyed the beauty of every location we visited. Exceptional!Written April 6, 2023
- Jdzu0 contributionsBelfast and Northern Ireland 2-day tourMick provided my wife and I with a wonderful 2 day guided tour. Mick met us at the train station in Belfast on day 1 where we began our 4 hour city tour. Mick provided a wealth of information as we visited all the highlights of the city. On day 2 Mick picked us up at our Belfast hotel and guided us through the valleys of Northern Ireland on an active and informative tour, including stops at the “8th” wonder of the world, The Giant’s Causeway. Look no further, book with Mick for all your touring of Belfast and Northern Ireland.Written August 13, 2022
- MGB9990 contributionsMichael Smith is a top guideMichael Smith was one of the best tour guides we have had. We had booked our trip through Belfast Tours NI and Michael was our driver guide fir two different days. One day was from our hotel in Belfast up the coast to Giants Causeway, etc. the last day was a trip south from Belfast, dropping us off at our hotel in Dublin. He is extremely knowledgeable and wanted to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We did.Written July 18, 2022
- JesusFreakForever0 contributionsMick is exceptionalMick met my husband and I at our cruise ship port. He was professional as well as friendly and personal. He was with us for 9 hours and we enjoyed every moment. He knows Northern Island/ Belfast history perfectly. He also knows his way around the whole area. Don't hesitate to hire Michael.Written June 25, 2022
- Carol P0 contributionsExcellent Tour and ServiceIt was a fantastic day to Giant's Causeway and Bushmills. Michael is a delight to work with and a true professional. He was flexible to include a few necessary stops and cater to me as I had an injury. Michael managed to keep us informed and entertained from our tour of Bushmills to the Giant's Causeway. Michael was patient, knowledgeable, funny and a delight to have as our tour guide. We loved that Micheal had water and the beloved local snacks ready for us. I highly recommended Michael for any tour in Northern Ireland and booked him the next day (separate review). Carol and Rob from TorontoWritten June 3, 2022
- paulahO8003LS0 contributionsBelfast TourMicks knowledge of the local area was exceptional and the passion for the history of Belfast was fantastic. We were a group of 6 adults and everyone of us enjoyed hearing tge history, it was definitely different from what we thought we knew. I have no hesitation in recommending Micks tours.Written October 22, 2021
- Teddyandhope0 contributionsFantastic Intro to Northern IrelandSuch a great day! We cannot believe how much Michael managed to show us in 6 hours - from a beautiful waterfall hike to the Giant's Causeway to the Dark Hedges (plus a couple photo ops and a fortifying tea break too). Michael was informative, funny, knowledgeable and passionate. Knowing we were tight on time and might miss them otherwise, he even made a detour on our way into town to show us one of Belfast's intriguing Peace Walls. We loved the local snacks too. Highly recommended - if we were in Northern Ireland for longer we would definitely have booked a second day with him. Thanks again, Caz + KatWritten October 2, 2021

We had such a wonderful day with Ossie. He knew all the great spots for stops, including a fantastic lunch recommendation! I can't believe we got to see so much in one incredibly enjoyable day. Some of our main stops included the Carrick rope bridge, Giant's Causeway, Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle, and several other stops, including Balleycastle, a lovely seaside village. Ossie is a genuinely kind person, and we felt so lucky to have him guide us for the day!

To say that Mick was the best decision of our week in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, would be a gross understatement. By chance, he was referred to us by an Uber driver. He has great respect among that community and it was assured that he would take care of us. That he did. He customized a full 8 hour day based on our conversation. It was spectacular and very reasonably priced for all that we did and the miles that we covered. It was beyond my greatest expectation.
In fact, we enjoyed him so much, that we hired him again for another custom trip south to Dublin via the Passageway Tombs. To our surprise, he added a few other stops before we ever left Belfast. I returned home completely satisfied in gaining so much knowledge of NI and Ireland. We saw areas of both that we would have not been able to see otherwise.
He shared his passion, his heart and his knowledge to ensure we gained a wide perspective of history. And, when he found out my Goddaughter was also a major Game of Thrones fan, he added even more stops to her thrill.
Early 60s gal and mid 20s gal felt completely safe in his care. Quite frankly, I am not sure why anyone would go to Northern Ireland and not hire Mick to share it with them. Again, he was our best investment. Make him your first contact and then book hotels, make plans, etc. He will guide you through what you want to do!
In fact, I plan on doing just that for my next trip back!

Had a great day with Mick! He was able to customize one of his standard tours to accommodate a few of our wishes and threw in sights that we would have never known about—and which turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire vacation! Saw gorgeous countryside through the Glens of Antrim, the Giant’s Causeway, Dunlhce Castle, and several highlights of Dublin as time permitted. He was very gracious, friendly and informative. He also gave firsthand info on Troubles and had us sign the Peacewall.
He crammed a lot into one day. Very glad we picked Mick for our private tour of Northern Ireland!

This tour was the highlight of my 15 day vacation!
Mick was beyond a knowledgeable tour guide. He was timely, easy to communicate with prior to our tour, flexible (due to a rainy Irish day) and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. Mick showed us the Irish countryside, explained Belfast history, took us to various historical sites and TV show sites, and exposed us to a side of Ireland that only the locals get to see.
Additionally, from the moment we entered his car to departing, he made us feel like family.
Would highly recommend this tour. Mick is well worth the money, for the experience and service he provides.

The trip and was wonderful, the drive along the coast was enjoyable, and the Giant's causeway was breathtaking. Michael Smith was knowledgeable and gave us some background information about all the stops/spots. The best part about going with Mick's is the cutomizability, one has the option to visit either the planned tourist route or a more customised route. Just as an added advantage Michael can suggest restaurants (hidden gems or popular) along the way that will suite even the most picky eaters palate (just inform him at the start).
