Traveler reviews
Best tour ever!
Could not be happier with this tour and our guide Tony. He was very knowledgeable and presented the information in an unbiased yet passionate way. His personal connection to The Troubles came at the end of our tour and was very impactful. We all learned a lot and would encourage anyone and everyone to take this tour. I’m sure this will go down as our #1 favorite activity of our two week Irish vacation
Thank you, Tony!
Tony was an incredible guide and our tour with him was one of the highlights of our 2-week trip in Ireland. It was such an informative and deeply moving experience that we love to tell friends and family about. At the end of our tour, Tony shared his older sister was murdered by the British Army in the 70's and they were seeking justice for her, and getting a judgement at the end of that week. We are so glad to see that they got it. Hugs to you, Tony! We cannot recommend doing this tour enough.

A truly memorable experience with an exceptional and knowledgeable guide
We came to Belfast for a packed one-day visit, and the Mural Taxi Tour was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. We saw and learned more about the history of Northern Ireland — and Belfast in particular — than we ever could have from reading alone. Our driver, Tony, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided fascinating insight into Belfast’s complex history. He pointed out details that would have easily been missed and took us to key locations that helped us better understand the experiences and perspectives of the people of Northern Ireland. No visit to Northern Ireland would feel complete without this tour. Tony was not only informative, but also thoughtful and sensitive in the way he shared the history. A truly memorable experience.
Riveting
The tragic and oft misunderstood recent history of Northern Ireland was brought to light during this tour. Our guide, Jackie, individualized the tour based on our knowledge level of important events and people . We had recently read the book "Say Nothing" which provided great context so the tour was supremely valuable. Jackie provided balanced, personalized and emotional sentiment - both of the past as well as hope for the future peace and one day hopefully unification of Ireland. Bravo Jackie!
