Amazing tour and guide - The guide (Michael) was incredible. He knew so much about everything we stopped at and was so nice! The tour itself was fascinating and took us to the coolest street art spots that had political propaganda on them. Also our guide brought a marker with him so we could sign our names on one of the walls where that’s become a thing!

Very informative & thought provoking. Well worth the cost!! - The trip was very thought provoking & informative and the driver made it fun considering the very serious subject matter. The driver was down to earth friendly and definitely knew his stuff! He gave a very concise overview of the situation whilst maintaining a very neutral/non biased opinion. He welcomed questions and we certainly asked plenty. We would totally recommend this tour.

Fantastic! Highly recommend. - We did the black taxi political mural tour of Belfast. We have just spent 6 week overseas and this tour was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. Brendan who was our driver had so much personal knowledge and passion having grown up in West Belfast. He was so warm and personable and shared so much with us. I have a strong interest in this period of time and I loved this tour. It was brilliant.

absolutely brilliant!!!! The only way to truly get an idea of the issues as an outsider - Our guide, Marty, was amazing. He showed us what we felt to be a truly 'make up your own mind' tour by presenting facts and experiences that provided the information we were really looking for.

Absolutely wonderful, very informative - This was an incredible experience. Our driver, Stephen, was so knowledgeable about the region and answered all of our questions with such detail. We learned so much about the Troubles and how they're still impacting politics and lived experiences in Belfast today. We all loved Stephen and this tour is definitely something that is going to stick with us.
