ABOUT US

Belfast Millie Tours takes it's name from the 50,000 women (Millies) who worked in sometimes horrendous conditions in the famous linen mills, the industry which was the backbone to the city's once industrial past. The name Millie became a derogative term used to oppress and shame working class women and is still used today in a similar way. 

 

Our guides are all natural storytellers, who mostly grew up in the areas most heavily associated and affected by the Troubles, a conflict which took place from 1969-1998. We have all witnessed the very worst and the very best of life in a divided city. This informs our tours which are based on facts (often disrupted) and our own lived experiences. You won't get a generic list of facts, you will go on a journey through the real Belfast, both past and present.

There's no hiding the divisions in Belfast but it all adds to the passionate debate and strong identities which give the city an unmistakable edge that makes the town alive and exciting. We have learned to acknowledge our differences while celebrating that which unites us. Belfast in 2025 is alive and beginning to thrive. With our Peace Process, we have often been at the heart of major international news stories which has created a world-wide interest in how a city once notorious for conflict and religious strife is now a city reborn, not perfect but continually striving. We have become a poster city for reconciliation and post-conflict debate about identity, difference and belonging.

It’s easy to see why! Belfast is a fabulous city. We are a fun-loving people who enjoy life and who know how to party. Our Celtic roots mean that socialising, coming together and celebrating life is in our DNA. 

Our guides are all World Host qualified and recognised by Tourism Northern Ireland. We are all members of the Tour Guides Northern Ireland (TGNI) Our vehicles are all of a high standard and are PSV (Public Service Vehicles) checked and all have Public Service Vehicles licences & insurance. 

Nuestro nombre es dedicada a las 50.000 mujers & los ninos que han trabajado en los fabricas de lino de Belfast. Las mujers se llamaron "Millies". El mayor parte del desarrollo de la ciudad esta debido a estas mujers, que ensenaban mucho fuerza y determinacion durante las dias mas duras de nuestra historia. Por eso se merecen estar recordadas. 

Belfast Millie Tours es un proyecto de comunidad, con gente del pueblo contando las historias de sus vecinos y antipasados y tambien de sus propio barrios.
