Donal Kelly - Blue Badge Level 4 Guide
Walking/Cycle/Coach Guide

Hello there,

                  My name is Donal Kelly, I was born in Antrim Town about 18 miles outside Belfast but have lived in Belfast since 1990.

I hold the N.Ireland Blue Badge (Level 4) qualification, the highest accredited tour guiding qualification available in N.Ireland, and sit on the Executive of Tour Guides N. Ireland the local guiding association.

 I also have a professional qualification in Community Relations, and I am a qualified Cycle Instructor.

My backround includes 17 years in Aerospace, and working as an Outdoors Instructor, I was also involved with the 'Peace People' in Belfast, a local peace organisation in the early 1990's.

In 2012 I started working as part of the Visitor Experience Team at Titanic Belfast, and started delivering my own guided experiences in 2016, (Belfast Mic Tours).

I have a love and passion for Ireland North and South and Irish History and culture.

My area's of expertise include Titanic, Belfast's Maritime and Industrial Heritage, and interpretation of the N. Ireland 'Troubles' (Political Mural's, Peace Walls, history and legacy of the Troubles).

I was also a 'Game of Thrones' extra in Seasons 1&2 playing mostly Lannisters, and fought for the Lannisters in the Battle of Blackwater Bay (Season 2).

Most of the fiming of this iconic TV show took place in various locations throughout N. Ireland, the most dramatic being the stunning Causeway Coast. (I am happy show you some of these locations and teach you the sword routine I was taught for the show).   

So I am available for half or a full day, I can offer custom walking/cycle tours or I can join you in a hire car or I can arrange a luxury minibus for your group. 

I am also happy to pre-book Tea/Coffee stops, Lunch stops, pre-book entrance slots for visitor experiences and organise any other activities.

Cheers

Donal

  • ★★★★★5 Great Ormeau Road history
    Review by Shannon B. in Nov 2020 - Ballynafeigh Walking Tour

    I really enjoyed the tour, great to hear about the history of the area. I like the audio packs too, so we could all hear as we walked.

    Great way to spend a Saturday morning. Both Donald and Rory made the walk interesting and fun. The time passed very quickly. Great value for money.

    I've lived in the Ormeau/Ravenhill area on and off since the 1990s, but Donal's informative tour showed me interesting stuff I've walked past hundreds of times. Every few steps, there seemed to be something else of note. As always, the headsets worked a charm, and we covered a lot of ground in a short space of time. Every road in the city should have a Belfast Mic Tour!

    This tour is indeed legendary. Donal really knows his stuff and he covers a lot of ground, with unique access to some top locations. I really enjoyed seeing inside the Pump-House and having a nosy around the Titanic Hotel. As a wee bonus, he even arranged for two seals to appear in the marina. The use of headsets means you can still hear what he's saying even when you're lagging behind, taking endless photos!

    You walk or drive along a street for years and are oblivious to the details of buildings and park areas; their history and how the social structure has been formed. This is a safe experience. Excellent sound tech means you can here every word of the first class tour guide (Donal?) even if you fall 20 meters behind, while picking up your Shi Tzus' namesake (if you catch my whiff). Well worth the time and money.
