The Wee Tram

I loved The Wee Tram. It’s billed a s a tourist attraction but any Belfast resident with even a passing interest in our culture and history should definitely hop on board The Wee Tram.
The Titanic Quarter is steeped in history and this interactive tour is the best way to see it all in under an hour. The concept is quite simple you, you can hop on The Wee Tram at one of eight stops around the Titanic Quarter. The electric tram comes equipped with TV’s telling the story of each attraction — you even get given traditional yardmen’s hats as you travel, this really helps the passengers get in to the spirit of the Tram.
Chris, the tour guide, is full of knowledge, especially knowledge of the Titanic — you’ll get more insight in to what went on in the early nineteen hundreds on The Wee Tram than in the Titanic Museum.
A personal highlight for me was getting up close and personal with Samson and Goliath and seeing the vast ship yard.
The tour costs £6 for adults which is an absolute snip when you consider that the ticket can be used over 2 days. Couldn’t recommend this experience enough!

What a great tour. After living in NI all my life… I thought I knew everything about the Titanic and Harland Wolff. Turns out I was very wrong!
The Wee Tram tour gives a unique insight into what life was like 100 years ago and travels along the same route where the old trams used to run; showing old pictures along the way.
It has great hop-​on, hop-​off stops allowing you to take the tour at your own pace whilst staying as long as you like at each attraction. With close up views of the big cranes, photo opportunities at old navy ships and the docks it was certainly worth it.
I highly recommend it if you fancy an afternoon of sight seeing. I will definitely be bringing some clients back to show them the real history of Belfast.

Any business called the Wee Tram is obviously going to be great. My dad, who can’t walk too far these days, and I popped on to have a little tour around the Titanic dockyard. Chris, the guide, is one of the most charming and enthusiastic hosts I’ve ever encountered. A «titanorak», his knowledge and passion for the dockyard and its history is communicated extremely effectively through the video and live commentary.
The actual dockyard itself is of course extremely fascinating and I found seeing Titanic’s dock and the great H&W cranes Samson & Goliath up close particularly thrilling. It’s moving too — I hadn’t realised half the Titanic’s dead were its crew, marked in grass where she was built. We also drove past the studio were GoT Season 6 was being filmed RIGHT THEN. Nbd.
I believe you can get a pass for this and the open top bus tour for £15, which seems like excellent value. Just the tram ticket is valid for two days as well. You might be interested to know that this business is supporting Chris’s spiritual work as the chaplain in the Titanic Quarter, he and his wife also run the very popular Dock restaurant nearby.
