Having checked the weather forecast numerous times before picking the 530pm time online I thought we'd miss the rain. Boy was I wrong...but the rain made this venture on an 8/10 man boozy bike even better. The heavens opened as we settled into our seats and by the time we took of it was torrential rain to say the least. Ron the owner and his assistant George were brilliant and came prepared with ponchos for all ( it was so bad even the boys wore one), ice and plastic cups for our byo booze and a music system to plug in our own phones. We cycled around the city centre loop stopping firstly at Kellys cellars, as we pulled up we had 'singing in the rain blasting' those crazy outdoor drinkers were loving the entertainment as they sang along and cheered us on. We had the option to purchase a special offer drink or use the facilities but chose to sit in the dry comfort of the canopy of the bike. We moved on again and stopped at bootleggers where this time we did get a few trays of shots to keep the energy levels up. The craic was great I laughed flat out for the full hour, however it was hard work and YOU REALLY HAVE TO CYCLE lol. Ron used his bell to let us know when to slow down to a stop for lights and when to start cycling again. We got chatting after and Ron let us know that he can organise for kegs to be fitted to the taps on the bar if you preorder. The BYO is great too as George serves you and refills the glass as it gets lower plus you really don't drink as much as expected. P.s. Big shout out to George for helping cycle:)

Using the bikes i can get to and from work really quickly, avoiding traffic, and not having to worry about locking up a bike or where i am going to park it. Making this a very handy service. The app is the easiest way to get a bike out and return it, you put in the bike code and go, pretty simple. You can also ask for a card that you can swipe at the bike dock, or imput the details at the dock. I have had a few issues with the service over the year, bikes not coming out of the dock then having to get another and be charged for the second bike, being the most annoying one. Although this seemed to be an issue early on, that they have now sorted. All in all its a really handy service to get you round Belfast.

If you have the app on your phone, you simply enter the code in the bike and it unlocks. There will be an additional charge of you go over 30 mins, but Belfast is that compact I've never had them out for more than 15 mins at a time. The bikes are generally in good working order, though I've used a few that have had small problems. There is a feedback function on the app if you need to report anything. Additionally, the support team (available on the free phone number) are very helpful and pleasant. The bikes themselves are quite simple with 3 gears , stand, lock, bell, lights, parcel basket and easily adjustable seat height. Very handy and enjoyable way to get around the city. For anyone just visiting for a few days, i believe there is an option for shorter hire durations. Also, for anyone apprehensive about the traffic, belfast has become very cycle friendly in the last few years, with cycle lanes throughout many parts of the wider city and 20mph speed limits in the city centre.

Tips: * If you need to use the restrooms prior to the start loop, go into the City Hall for free toilets and to admire the glass panels and mini exhibit inside. * At the time of visit(early July '22) - there was construction at stop 14 - The Peace Wall, so you had to get off a stop early and walk to visit if you choose to do so. * You can pre-purchase tickets via their website; however, if you are unsure of the weather, you can hold off and purchase onsite using a credit card.

Alan was a brilliant tour guide, throwing in loads of jokes to keep us entertained along the way.

The trails were beautiful, filled with lots of greens and MOSQUITOS! Be careful, I didn't count them, but there were millions!!! Aside from the mosquitos, my husband loved it! He wore his cloak and took some pretty cool pictures! It was nice to see him so excited. Aside from the tour we did, they have others: Archery movie set experiences, The Narrow Sea boat voyage, Tyrion's Axe Throwing experience, Luxury Private Tours for Winterfell & Kingdom of Mourne/Luxury Private Tours for Dragonstone & Giants Causeway, Glamping Overnight Mini Breaks, and Meet the Direwolves at Winterfell Castle. They have a pretty cool but expensive gift shop as well for all of you hard core GOT fans. Tip: Online booking is highly recommended! Irelands only Game of Thrones Visitor Attraction.

Google map shows that there is a way to get here via public transportations, but definitely easier and time efficient to drive down here yourself. Admission was £8.50 per person just to get in. There are guided tour via bicycle. Although Winterfell's distinctive disk shaped roofs are all CG works, you'll recognize these buildings from "in the castle view". There are few sites in this compound that were used for other scenes such as Audley's Castle where Rob Stark set the camp during the battle of Oxcross(where he received the news of his father's death). Everything here got me excited "oh yeah! I remover here! This is from that scene!" Although I came here on my own, I'd recommend to come here via gameofthronestours.com. It's £50. Coming here on my own cost far more(£120 for rental car alone). If you are a huge GoT fan, this place is a must!

I never knew Bath House existed until introduced to it by Belfast Art Tours (Bus and Walking Tours)…read moreon 03/08/17. Located behind Templemore Swimming Baths, having previously been home to the swimming pool caretaker, the building has now been commandeered by a group of local Artists who run it as an exhibition space. Because it's a small, red-brick house it manages to feel warm and inviting whilst showcasing contemporary, dynamic work. This welcoming vibe's a huge bonus as so many art spaces can feel cold and unwelcoming. I absolutely loved community organisation, Infinity Farm's bee garden - designed specifically to attract and nourish bees. This was perfectly complemented by Diving Station, an audio-installation by Colm Clarke. All of this was on display in a small outside courtyard area. Inside Bath House there was an exhibition of intriguing black and white geometric drawings by Gary Shaw. I also enjoyed the fact that the Artists were there in person to give a brief talk about their art, its meaning and inspiration. Templemore Swimming Bath is still a fully functioning swimming pool in which Bath House hold art events such as poolside watercolour classes, complete with catering by local Chefs! Probably one of my favourite art spaces in Belfast.

I attended today, Sunday 5 February 2017, and found it fantastically enthralling. Our Tour Guide Adam delivered an informative and entertaining two hours, which at only £8 per person, was great value for money. We wandered at a leisurely pace viewing a huge number of beautiful, thought provoking and inspiring artworks. It's great to see there's so much more to Belfast than old, sectarian murals from our troubled past. Instead this tour highlights recent, contemporary, Urban Art in and around Belfast's Cathedral Quarter which has sprung up over the last few years revitalising and brightening the city. We learnt how different pieces of Street Art were created, the techniques employed, who the Artists are and background stories of how the works came to be. Thanks to Seedhead Arts, this is definitely the best thing currently happening in Belfast. I very highly recommend this Tour - it's wonderful food for the eyes and uplifting for the soul.
