Every city has it’s shopping and coffee culture but Belfast city has a unique past after coming out of 30 years of conflict.Your guides are the original  drivers who had to transport their communities through the bullets and bombs of THE TROUBLES and have their lives at risk every time they seat in their black cabs. The North of Ireland has become famous for the murals painted in almost every area of the country . These pictures of IRA ,UVF murals are often flashed around the world on news bulletins or used as a backdrop when interviewing people. They often depict the history and political views of both traditions and are a way of marking territory. These wall paintings often look intimidating but they have become as much of a tourist attraction as many of the regular attractions within Belfast and beyond.

Wouldn't have missed this for the world, and just a short drive from the centre of Belfast we felt ourselves in a different world, where history hung over the streets either side of the peace wall like a heavy cloud. Our guide was extremely informative and gave us a sense of what it must have been like to live through the troubles. He took good care of us and was a reassuring presence in streets where the remains of the July bonfire celebrations were still around. It was a sunny day and we were watched by residents on both sides of the wall, sitting outside their houses, as we took photos (allowed) of the military/political murals and memorials to people to the dead on both sides of the recent conflicts. Wonder what they thought of the stream of guided visits? Does any profit from these go back into the communities? Gave a 4 instead of 5, since our guide was obviously, though never overtly in anything he said, from one "side" (not saying which) and emphasised to us that certain streets on one side were probably under illegal military control. One only has to follow the news to know that this is unfortunately true of both sides. This is a comment on how we felt by the end, not a direct criticism. We don't know what experiences this individual or his family might have had in the past. Would recommend this experience, which translates news and impressions gleaned from the media into hard reality. Good luck to those in both communities who are working to maintain peace.

This was a really informative tour. You can read about the Troubles and watch news items but the tour gives a new perspective, at times sobering, horrific, and uplifting. Our guide was JR who presented information very clearly and adjusted the way we did the tour to make things easier and accessible to my disabled wife. Definitely a tour worth doing and our guide was excellent.

We were guided by Joel - he was terrific. I had done this tour once before, with a Catholic guide. Hearing the "other side's" point of view from Joel was so interesting - he was fair and balanced of course, but the perspective was new to us. Gave us real insight into a very complicated situation. It is worth the trip to Belfast just to do this tour.
