What a fantastic boat trip we had with this company on board 'Mona' (there is another boat as well,…read more'Joyce Too')! Although they offer private tours of various kinds, we took the 'Titanic Boat Tour' a few days ago. This huge vessel was designed, built and launched in Belfast - something I hadn't actually realised until I visited the city. The tour includes the historic Harland & Wolff shipyards and many other famous sites all around Belfast Harbour. The two guys on board were so friendly and the one who gave the commentary was a mine of information. He made it extremely interesting and often hilarious with his witty commentary. Titanic tours depart from Jetty 2 not far from the 'Big Fish' sculpture and operate all year round, definitely not to be missed!

The guide really knows what hes talking about as well. The boat is called the Joyce Too if you get lost looking for it!

Well, there were a few close calls with some inebriated people standing too close to the edge of the ship, but thankfully, we all came back intact and ready to eat our dinner. This boat tour is well worth the money, and really enjoyable. You can pay £10 per adult or £30 for a family ticket, which I would say would be good value for your money if you are a family of tourists wanting to learn about the history of shipping in Belfast and the Titanic in particular. It does give you some good views of Belfast Lough also, and of course, would be most enjoyable in good, sunny weather. The tours last around an hour and a half, and are informative and enjoyable. I would recommend the experience for tourist and residents of Belfast too - it doesn't hurt to know the history of your own city!

She had quite an accent but was very knowledgeable and informative of the Game of Thrones tour sites. My family and I enjoyed the tour very much. We especially enjoyed the comedy she threw in, the behind the scenes perspective of being an extra on the famous HBO GOT series, and the fun facts of Belfast. So much history and beautiful sights all along the Antrim Harbor. We even got to see "The Wall" from the filming for The Knight's Watch scenes. We didn't get to stop but it was cool to just see it in real life. If you're quick with the camera, you can take a photo from the tour bus. She also has the directions on how to get to the spots along the way should you want to return on your own time. That's super helpful. The breath taking views of the Giants Causeway and the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge was the highlight of the tour. And the best for last, seeing the Dark Hedges in person was surreal. I totally recommend this tour, it's practically all day 8:45am-6:30pm. The coach bus was comfortable, clean, and the driver was very good. The guide even showed scenes from the series before we made the stops so we know what we're about to see. At one point, we even took turns dressing up as the characters. Super fun tour, great for the GOT fan!

Note: this is a self guided tour, where the guide/driver will drop you off at each site and allow you to explore to take a quick photo. Stephen our driver/guide provided good insights about the history of Northern Ireland and about each site we were visiting. Most of the sites visited are quick photo opportunities, which means that you only have about 20 minutes before you need to get back on the bus to get to the next destination. The site with the longest visit was the Giants Causeway where we had about 1.5 hours to explore. The 20 minutes at each site does go by very quickly, so make sure to be aware of the time as the bus will leave to keep within schedule. Tip: Sit closer to the front of the bus to get off first and take photos at each site without people in your shot (unless another tour bus was already there).

It's a real shame that this wee shop doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's full up of maritime merchandise and Titanic related gifts.

The lovely ladies working in the shop told me that this is actually a registered slogan of the Lagan Boat Company, so this is the only place you can get one of these tongue and cheek T's. This shop is the perfect place to pick up a unique Belfast Souvenir, maybe you've been to the Titanic Centre but you want something a little different, something that no one else has... well if that's the case drop in here for a look. It's right next to 'The Big Fish' and located through a Café so it's the perfect place for a Belfast tour pit stop.

I had studied Irish history in college, so I was not really looking for the historical aspect, but the human perspective. My tour guide, Paddy Kane, gave me an amazing glimpse into his life throughout the troubles. Since I was by myself, he let me sit up front in the space meant for luggage. "Don't put your seatbelt on in case we have to make a quick getaway! It will only slow us down," he told me. We got out of the car every few minutes, so that I could take pictures and he could tell me about each landmark. It was amazing seeing what I had learned in textbooks come to life! Since I already knew much of the history and he didn't have to spend a whole lot of time explaining who everyone was, he drove me over to the Irish Republican History Museum, so that I could look at some artifacts. Paddy and the man working at the museum were both so friendly - they invited me to go back to the museum the next day if I was interested in learning more. He also showed me where the mural artists set up shop and said that if I asked, someone would probably get me in to see everything. I wish I could go back to Northern Ireland and thank Paddy again. He may just say that he is a cab driver, but he really made an impact on me. It was more than just showing some American tourist a few political sites around the city. He really made me feel at home in Belfast and seemed to take a genuine interest in the fact that I was interested in his home. I will remember what he showed me and what he told me for the rest of my life. Thank you Paddy!

It was a long trip from Liverpool to London so the last thing we wanted was an awful boat trip to add to the hassle of the trip. Thankfully, we didn't! On entering the boat we were offered the chance purchase a berth, which is a small cabin for sleeping on the usually long trip (5 or so hours). These were actually surprisingly comfortable and the trip went by happily in dreamland so I didn't have a problem. On my mum and sisters travels on the way back however, they missed out on the purchase of a berth and were forced to sit on uncomfortable chairs the whole way back. So I guess it all depends on the circumstance on your trip. There are a lot of facilities, but not enough to keep someone entertained over the whole trip and without a berth, it could become a very long and uncomfortable trip.

The experience with Norfolk Line really helped me deal with all the hassle and rush of packing the tiny car up (that I had at the time) and getting from A to B. The staff at the Belfast port were so helpful and considerate - as I'd never driven on to a ferry before, and it's kind of a scary thing, well it is in my opinion! The ship itself was comfortable and the food wasn't bad. On the way back we got a small (and I mean small!) cabin so we could snooze - and the only criticism I have is that the walls of those cabins are VERY thin and I was subjected to a couple 'entertaining' themselves in the next cabin. Ahem, all that aside, it's a good service from Belfast to Liverpool with this company.
