Absolutely incredible tour of Belfast’s complicated history - Coming from the US, I knew almost nothing about the Troubles and that chapter of Irish history. This tour was incredibly informative and moving, and Joe did an excellent job getting across the gritty, double-sided details of the conflict. When he says he loves answering questions, he means it. Ask him whatever comes to your mind, and you’ll likely get his firsthand account of the event in question, because he lived through all of it. Incredible experience, memorable history lesson, and excellent tour guide. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

If you do nothing else in Belfast, you must do this! - We agree with everything that has been said by previous reviewers. We felt privileged and grateful to have Joe as our guide. His real life experiences of growing up during “ the troubles” was invaluable. This was the most powerful tour we have ever encountered and the absolute highlight of our time in Belfast. This is a must do!!!
