Full description

You'll gain a wealth of knowledge from someone who was born and reared and still lives in the community where the tour takes place, 17 years of experience giving the tours. I am 1 of 5 tour guides in the whole of Belfast that can say this. You will experience both sides of the community where the conflict took place, an unbiased tour and lots of colorful murals that depict the struggles along the way, where you can sign the famous peace wall and you'll have plenty of photo opportunities. This tour is a great experience for the whole family and will take you back in time right up to the present day. Tour is 90 minutes of history, learning and plenty of "craic" (laughter) along the way.

A tour that is well worth doing

Great tour with great tour guide, Diarmaid, local guy who told you everything about the times of troubles and how things are now. Lots that I didn’t know. Going back to Belfast in April with my son and will definitely do the tour again, thank you, Ellen

Belfast Troubles History Private Taxi Tour

Thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with our guide, Diarmaid Monaghan. He was informative about this time in history and was able to add some personal perspective as he still lived locally. In addition to knowledgeable, Diarmaid was friendly and personable.

Not to be missed tour if you are in Belfast

This is a not to be missed tour if you are in Belfast. It is well worth it and Diarmaid did an incredible job in not only showing us around and providing the historical context, but also in ensuring that we were well entertained and had all of our questions answered. Seeing things up close and personal makes a world of difference. .

Great tour by Diarmaid.

Had a great tour with Diarmaid! He was very knowledgeable about the Troubles. It was very interesting to hear his perspective, growing up in the neighborhoods during those years. Learned about the walls and gates that still separate parts of Belfast.
