The ride goes past all the main highlights of Belfast City. There are plenty of places to hop on and off. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Our guide was excellent. Truly enjoyed his incitegul narration. Downside: the bus we were on had about 50% of the downstairs space outfitted for luggage storage. A complete waste of space when it was chilly and too windy to be up on the top. Those buses should be refitted to allow more people to sit inside.

Heading to the Titanic mueseum? We took the City Sightseeing bus and learnt a little history from the charming driver as we headed out. Its only a few stops along the route so doesn't take up too much of your morning. If you've time at the end of your visit, complete the sightseeing route and take in some Belfast history that you may otherwise have not realised you needed to know! Money well spent!

I loved the authenticity of the driver tour guide who was very obviously a Belfast man and the tour narrative was interspersed with Ulster humour and personal anecdotes . He stopped at the peace Wall and provided us with markers to put our names on the wall .
