Political Black Taxi Tour with Mark - Booked last minute (night before) for our final morning in Belfast. We were picked up at our accommodation with luggage and dropped off at our bus - perfect! Mark was a wonderful guide, very informative, lots of personal experiences woven in. We were behind schedule after taking a lot of time at one mural area - Mark let us know we were behind but did not rush through at all! Tour was booked for 90 min and went nearly an hour over. Appreciated Mark's candor and personal stories - all presented with neutrality. Highly recommend this tour with NI Black Taxi - very reasonable price and guaranteed in a hackney taxi, which was important for our 9 year old. Would never have seen or understood these parts of Belfast without out tour experience. Thank you Mark!!

Brilliant tour - Excellent informative political tour of Belfast. Mark showed us many places in the Falls and Shanklin areas, and gave us plenty of time for looking around and questions. We came away with a real sense of how much has been achieved yet how little will change until the city stops continuing to divide.

Excellent experience and history lesson! - Our driver/guide not only grew up in the troubled area but his family has lived there for generations and could provide valuable first hand insight into the issues and feelings of both sides. As well, he is an excellent student of history and was able to easily link the events of the past with more modern ones.

Extraordinary service and tour while in Belfast - The NI Black Taxi Political Tour was extraordinary and is also a great activity no matter the weather. Robert was an outstanding driver and guide and provided extensive history of the area. He was both knowledgeable and engaging and I would highly recommend this company and driver for this and other tours while in Belfast.

A must do tour! - We had the pleasure of having Mark as our guide for the political murals tour in Belfast, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mark was incredibly informative and knowledgeable, providing a thorough overview of the complex history behind the murals. What impressed us most was his unbiased approach—he presented both sides with fairness and respect, allowing us to fully appreciate the significance of the artwork and the history it represents. His passion for the subject matter truly shone through. Highly recommend this tour with Mark!

Great tour - Cecil met us right on time and was excited to meet us, even in the cold rainy weather. He took care to make sure we could understand him, before starting the tour. He was very helpful and informative. We appreciated his nonpartisan presentation of historical information. As others have said, it's a sobering tour.
