This is a really emotive couple of hours spent with a local who grew up in the area and understands the history. My driver Brian was so informative and gave an excellent account of both sides of the political divide. I do not think that you should come to Belfast as a tourist and go again without doing this tour. You need to see the roads and memorials to appreciate the artwork that both sides have created to commemorate their respective causes.

Absolutely amazing. The tour was great and the day was fun. The bar staff were friend fun and amazing. We had Natasha , Orren , Emma. Never let our drinks get empty and cycled and danced with us. One of a king experience. Would 100% recommend:)
