A Taste of Ireland

Sunday, 3 April 2022 - 38 minutes

Our guest this week is the Managing Director of Belfast Hidden Tours, Conor Owens. Conor specialises in uncovering the hidden Belfast and tells us how the recent Oscar success for the movie "Belfast" is great for the city. Conor grew up in the same area of Belfast as Kenneth Branagh.

"I am passionate about telling the real stories of the people and places that make Belfast unique. I’ve been blessed to have so many opportunities bringing to life visitors’ experience of Ireland and in particular Belfast and its surrounding area. As well as walking tours I have created a unique Peace Wall tour that explores many topics including the positive work being done by interface communities in Belfast"

Conor promotes the shared history of Belfast (including the new Belfast) to give a positive and balanced view of this beautiful city and he has been a level 3 tour guide since spring 2018.
