Such an interesting tour - This was a great experience. Our driver was such a knowledgeable guide and specialised in Irish history so really knew his stuff. For us who lived during what are euphemistally called "the troubles" when it was warfare it was amazing to put context around placenames we had heard when we were young. Makes for an uncomfortable feeling being English in light of the atrocities we brought upon the Irish people over centuries but not that different to what we did the world over. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to fill in many gaps in what is taught in English schools. Eye opening it certainly is.

A Great Insight and Experience - A memorable and at times moving experience as the impacts and scars of the troubles become more real by being there, and also the progress that is being made to move forward.

The Troubles Taxi Tour - We learned a great deal from our guide, Brendan. He provided a lot of detail and context. I think it was important to tour the area with someone who is local. He didn't talk about his own history, though I am sure that he could have shared a lot. Instead, he conveyed compassion. I got the feeling that he was very invested in peaceful justice. I don't think we would have gotten by reading or even listening to an audio guide. He was also very friendly and easy to talk with. All in all, it was a great two hours spent.

Best way to spend a couple of hours in Belfast - We had a terrific guide in Stevie who made sure we were educated and shown both sides in relation to the conflicts. It was a great tour that was recommended to us and we will certainly recommend it to other travellers.
