Black Cab Tour with Joe - unforgettable experience

The Black Cab Tour with Joe was an unforgettable experience. Joe was an engaging guide who shared personal stories about history and the present of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the larger international picture. Having this nuance about the Troubles from someone who has lived it was incredible. Thank you to Joe for sharing your stories and insight with us. Joe was also lots of fun to talk to and very engaging. My son, James, said speaking Gaelic with Joe was one of his highlights of the trip. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the Titanic Experience - so easy. We saw powerful murals, memorials, historic sites, and got to sign the Peace Wall. Go raibh míle maith agat!

Brilliant tour with Ian.

Brilliant brilliant tour of the Belfast murals with Ian. He gave a balanced, comprehensive and interesting tour of the city during the troubles. It was a great insight for these 2 English visitors to be able to listen to his personal stories. Thank you and we wish you a safe, peaceful and calm life.

Very moving experience

Excellent experience my husband and I had. Our guide Billy was early and approached us to begin. I cannot speak highly enough of Billy, he was warm, friendly and full of information. He sat with us in the back to understand what we knew and wanted to discover before driving to our first stop. Billy spoke the whole time, I felt educated on the past and present. I was moved in regards to the history. This was definitely value for money with Billy giving more time than expected. Highly recommend this tour and if you get Billy as your guide you're very, very lucky!
