"Did a wonderful walking tour this past Saturday with Conor Owens, whose witty, intelligent, and thoughtful conversation brought small corners or Belfast to life. I learned a lot and had a great timing doing so. I'd highly recommend Hidden Tours (esp if you can go with Conor!), particularly if you only have a short time in Belfast a want to get a feel for the stories, history, and places that add up to make Belfast the intriguing city it is."

Belfast Beyond Walls (Political Tour)
When our company began 5 years ago, we decided we would cover the story of ‘The Troubles’ more on the present and with hope to the future. We are proud that ‘Belfast Beyond Walls’ has helped visitors and those closer to home get a more in-depth and comprehensive analyse of our current political history and with particular focus on our Peace Walls.
Irish history is known for being complex and Belfast is a perfect example of this. In order to understand the present and plan for the future, the past is the best place to learn from.

Queer Belfast Walking Tour
Join us on a one-of-a-kind walking tour that dives into the rich and powerful story of queer Belfast—where the past meets the present, and history comes with a cocktail or two.
We’ll take you on a journey through time, starting in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter and making our way through key locations that shaped the city’s LGBTQ+ community—from hidden safe spaces of the past to the vibrant queer venues that bring Belfast to life today.
You’ll hear stories of protest, pride, and progress. You’ll stop at legendary spots like the old Parliament Bar and Kremlin, and you’ll get to experience today’s thriving scene with drinks at beloved venues like The Maverick and Union Street.
It’s part history lesson, part pub crawl, and all heart—a celebration of resilience, love, and queer joy in a city that’s grown so much, and still has plenty to say. Expect laughs, powerful moments, and maybe even a new favourite bar.
This isn’t just a walking tour—it’s a tribute to the people and places that paved the way, with a little sparkle and sass thrown in for good measure. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, ally or part of the LGBTQ+ community, this is a walk worth taking.
(Warning: may cause sudden bursts of pride, unexpected laughter, and fierce appreciation for Belfast’s queer scene.)
