We're Good To Go! The World Famous Belfast City Sightseeing tour is starting again on the 1st May 2021.
Whilst we have been away and forced to stop our tours, we have updated our Health and Safety Policy, Cleaning Procedures and a Customer Charter. In addition to this, Risk Assessments have also been carried out an updated for each procedure that we follow. An extensive clean of our premises has been completed and now we have been approved by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board as GOOD TO GO.
As an extra procedure, Irish Tour Tickets/City Sightseeing Belfast will now be carrying out temperature checks on all passengers boarding our coaches/buses. This is to ensure the spread of COVID 19 is lessened when taking our tour.
Please be ready for your temperature to be taken. If your temperature is above NHS guidelines, you will be denied entry onto the coach/bus and advised to go home and self-isolate. If this was to happen to you, your booking will be cancelled and refunded within company guidelines.
So whichever tour of ours you decide to join, your safety and the safety of our colleagues is our top concern.
Our ‘Buy Now – Tour Later’ incentive allows you to book with confidence as you will have 12 months from date of purchase to redeem your ticket. We look forward to welcoming you on board and showing you the best of Belfast!
Irish Tour Tickets will at all times adhere to UK government guidelines on social distancing and other coronavirus related regulations. For more information click here
