Full description

Belfast is a city best explored with those who have lived through its ups and downs and can share with you its wonderful secrets. An excellent and informative guide will take you deep into the underbelly of the streets of Belfast with an exciting ride in a taxi. The tour begins at the corner of Falls and Shankill Road, where you start in the epicenter of the conflict between the Roman Catholic population and its Protestant brethren. Drive past the "Peaceline wall" which divides the two sides of the communities, as your guide painstakingly points out the meanings of the murals and art that you'll see painted onto the side of these walls. Belfast may be known for its troubles, but your guide is here to share with you all the things that make this city something truly unique - its people and its history! The tour will cater exactly to your needs and answer any questions you have about the place, whether its about the conflicts, or just a great restaurant to try out! Guides are real taxi drivers, so trust them, they know about this city!

Travelled from dublin with my son to do this tour, i would highly recommend it, tour guide was very friendly and nice and knew the whole history of the troubles and was informative. The whole experience was such an eye opener because you think you no the history but you actually really dont.

BriIan was a brilliant guide- so eloquent and full of stories. He gave us a great tour and made it all so interesting. He had a great welcome for us when we met him outside Jury’s hotel. My daughter Nollaig, who is doing her leaving cert this year, loved it and gave her a great insight into Northern Ireland’s troubled past. . It is sad to see that the so called peace wall is getting higher and higher but at least the bomb and the bullet is a thing of the past. Brian was a fantastic tour guide and I would highly recommend this to anyone. Maith thú Brian agus go raibh míle maith agat!

Very interesting and informative tour. We learnt a lot about the history of N. Ireland, especially during the troubles, and how Belfast has developed through to current times. I am sure the guides vary enormously and indeed ours was extremely knowledgeable. However, I felt he was a little aggressive and defensive, with his partisanship clearly visible.
