Thanks in advance! We are day tripping from Dublin on Friday 12/27 set to arrive in Belfast at 10AM and leave at 7PM. Our 3 must dos in any order are 1. Walking tour of city 2. Black cab or similar tour of the Murals, Peace Wall etc 3. Titanic Museum. The Walking tour is probably time wise as soon as we arrive after 2 hours sitting on a train and the Titanic museum closes at 5 with last entry at about 3PM. How best to navigate these 3 activites or do you recommend other order of these 3. any help greatly appreciated?

We did a day trip from Dublin in 2019. We did not do a walking tour. We took a black cab tour first. Our guide just dropped us off at the Titanic Museum. After we toured the Titanic Museum and walked back to the train station area. Had an early dinner, and were back on the train around 5. So if you add the walking tour and leave around 7, that should be doable. Are you doing the walking tour yourself? The black cab tour may already take you to all the places you want to see. Ask if they can drop you off at the Titanic Museum. Then you can either walk or taxi back to the train station area.
ETA: Our guide for the black cab tour picked us up at the train station immediately after our train arrived.

If you end up doing things in a different order than suggested, we had our Black Cab drop off us at the train station for our departure back to Dublin. (We were in a different situation, as we'd stayed in Belfast for a few days on a RS tour, and on our own we then took the Black Cab tour and returned to Dublin on the train.)

I assume you have your UK ETA- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta
It may be an open border, but you still need it.
