Declan Boyle - Humour and lots of laughter are guaranteed.
Whiteabbey Walking Tour

I am Declan Boyle, a level 3 accredited tour guide and fully insured for all guiding activities within Northern Ireland and have also completed the “World Host” training programme.

I was born, educated, and have lived and worked in the greater Belfast area for almost 60 years. I have a particular interest and expertise in all things maritime, especially the port, the shipyard and anything that floats!

I come from 3 generations of master mariners and shipping professionals which may explain my interest!!

I am immensely proud of my city and would love to share my passion, personal experiences and history of the city and the surrounding area from an industrial powerhouse through a troubled conflict to hopefully a brighter future.

I can promise you an interesting, informative and fun tour. Humour and lots of laughter are guaranteed.

Walking, Coach, Cycling and Boat tours within the greater Belfast area would be offered however I am flexible and responsive to the needs of my guests.

I also provide voluntary tour guiding to the Belfast International Youth Hostel and Sustrans.

Looking forward to guiding you in the near future.

    We spent a couple of hours circling Whiteabbey on a nice sunny day where we learnt a lot about the local area and also Northern Irish history. An enjoyable time was had by all and thought Declan was a natural guide and very informative. The tour was also well organised.

    My husband and I booked this tour on what turned out to be a very overcast and showery day but despite the weather we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Declan kept us well entertained with a multitude of really interesting facts and fun stories throughout our 3 hour tour. The itinerary itself was well planned as regards route, points of interest, scenery and with all Health and Safety precautions taken. He also provided a booklet of photographs which added an extra dimension to the stories he shared at each point of interest. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

    The Tour Guide had an abundance of interesting information and I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. Having lived in the surrounding area for some time, I learned quite a lot of the history of Whiteabbey.
