Traveler reviews
Highly recommend
Diarmaid gave an excellent tour. This excursion is not only a history lesson but also a personal account of the experiences Diarmaid had growing up near the walls. Thank you, for sharing your story and giving an in-depth review on the troubles time period. 5 stars 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Highly recommend for history buffs!
Diarmaid was a fabulous tour guide and gave us the full history of the political conflicts! Having fairly low background in the topics, he answered our questions and was a gracious tour guide. He is local to the area and grew up there which I believe helped inform of us the true conflict. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about the political history of Belfast and pay respects to the city. It was extremely educational and glad we booked the tour!
Sets the standard for community-led historical tours
This is how history tours should be done, by members of the community who can contextualize past events and bring them to life. I did some research prior to the tour and had many of my questions answered...and by the end, I had even more questions left! I left the tour feeling inspired to continue researching and listening about the history of the Troubles. Highly recommend.
Excellent tour, very...
Excellent tour, very educational, tour guide was very well versed in the history of the area & Ireland as a whole. He had great recommendations for further reading & videos to learn even more.
Troubles Tour
Diamond was excellent. He has lived the stories he tells. His presentation of the history of the troubles was balanced and nuanced. He was very personable as well. Highly recommend!
