The motto of the Belfast City Coat of Arms reads “PRO TANTO QUID RETRIBUAMUS” can be translated as ‘what shall we give in return for so much’. It was once also inscribed on the edge of the NI £1 coins. At Belfast Walking Tours we try to live out our city’s motto through our nominated charity, NI Hospice who themselves give so much in the course of their amazing work.

Hello. I’m Larry Murphy, a born and bred, super proud ‘Belfastian’. I worked the best part of 30 years in the Banking Industry, based across different locations in Belfast City Centre, so I have plenty of experiences to share. That eventful chapter of my life closed in 2017 and the wonderful world of tour-guiding became my new passion.

The city has changed dramatically over those years and yet some things never change such as our warm hospitality and humor. Belfast is a city of stories, fascinating characters, significant events and beautiful architecture. I have always loved meeting people and can’t wait to tell you about my home city.

We had an awesome tour with Larry! He took a large group of us on a curated tour of Belfast with an emphasis on sailortown. He was an extremely knowledgeable and engaging guide. We had a great time, which is high praise for walking a few hours in rainy Belfast weather.

Sarah Broitman

We are lucky to have met Paul and done an tour with him. He took us to the Peace Walls and explained the history of the Troubles very well. His stories of growing up in Belfast and his handmade photo books really made the tour feel special and personal. We learned so much and it was the highlight of our trip!

Emma

Massive research into their tours but more importantly fun and informative guides that will bring the city to life and offer memories for life
