Give Belfast’s history as a memorable experience
Looking for a thoughtful and original gift? A guided historical walking tour with Dr Tom’s Tours is a unique way to give time, stories and discovery rather than something that sits on a shelf.
Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, anniversary, retirement or simply because, a walking tour gift offers a shared experience and a fresh way to see Belfast through its people, places and past.
How a Walking Tour Gift Works
You can purchase a personalised walking tour gift voucher for an individual, a couple or a group.
Each voucher can include:
• The recipient’s name
• The tour title or theme
• Who the gift is from
• A short personal message if you wish
Vouchers are provided as a printable PDF, making them ideal for last-minute gifts or to include in a card. They can also be emailed directly to the recipient at a date of your choosing.
Once the voucher is received, the tour is arranged directly with Dr Tom, allowing dates, routes and details to be agreed at a time that suits everyone.
