Emotionally Moved
A great historical and current events tour with a professor of Belfast culture as our guide. My mixed Orange and Green family remember it well from the safe haven of California. I am emotionally touched by the balanced presentation Jimmy gave us this Sunday morning. Keep hope alive. Dr. JP
Belfast Political / Mural Tour
Absolutely brilliant and our guide Pat was fantastic, thoroughly eye-opening and excellent all round, well done 5+ stars xx
Thoroughly informative window into a complex past
Even if, or perhaps, particularly if, you think know a lot about the conflict in the North, you'll know so much more after this tour. Eye opening, moving, shocking in places, our tour was thoroughly informative and our guide, Tony, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and growing up in 70s and 80s Belfast he had some tales to share that add a further perspective on Belfast's complex narrative.
Brilliant and moving experience
Jimmy our driver was excellent. Very educational and inspiring. Learned so much and gained even more respect and concern for the people who were affected by the Troubles. Thanks so much !
Good but on the expensive side
We really enjoyed this political mural taxi tour and found it to be very interesting. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history and significance of the murals in a way that was easy to understand. He also had a great sense of humour, which kept the tour engaging throughout. We came away feeling like we’d learned a lot about Belfast’s history and the Troubles, and it gave us a much better understanding of the city. The only downside was the price. While we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, we did feel it was quite expensive for the length of the tour. Overall, we’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast who wants to learn more about the city’s history from a knowledgeable local guide. We booked this through trip advisor.
