One of the best tours I've ever done! Highly recommend!

One of the best tours I've ever done, extremely thorough, eye-opening, and I learned a ton. My guide Barry was excellent. Couldn't recommend this tour enough!

The best by far

I thought I had some knowledge of The Troubles but this experience opened my eyes and educated me more than I could I ever have contemplated. My wife and I have been undertaking day tours on our travels for many years and this is by far, the most compelling, informative and emotional experience we have yet encountered. The tour was made even more brilliant by Joe (our guide) whose personal lived experiences of a lifetime in Belfast and having grown up and borne witness to the The Troubles in a very personal way, made it so incredibly authentic and real. May nothing but good fortune, good health and good times be what the future holds for Joe. If you only ever choose to do one tour on a holiday, then this should be the one you choose. Our stay in Belfast was too short for a city that has a story to tell on every corner and every doorstep.

Excellent tour around...

Excellent tour around Belfast where we got to see some historical murals and sites. Barry knows lots about Irish history and we’re lucky to have gotten to spend some time with him. Money well spent and you won’t regret taking this tour. TIOCFAIDH ÁR LÁ 🇮🇪
