Book - don’t hesitate! - This tour was incredible. We learnt so much and Kevin, our driver, was so passionate. I am so pleased that we did this trip as a family so that we could fully appreciate the story of Belfast and the experience of its people.

A must-do introduction to Belfast - We had the best tour of west Belfast and the neighborhoods where the Troubles began and where the remnants of division can still be seen. Our wonderful guide, Joe, grew up in the area, had childhood friends killed there, and vividly remembers all of the violence. Yet he gave us an extremely balanced view of what went on there and we really had no idea whether he was a Loyalist or a Nationalist. I highly recommend it!

Eye-Opening and Educational Black Cabs Tour – Highly Recommended! - We recently did a Black Cabs tour in Belfast with Paul and Shaun, and it was an unforgettable experience! Both drivers were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing detailed insights and historical context throughout the tour. Their explanations were engaging and eye-opening, making the experience both educational and deeply impactful. The tour offered a unique perspective on Belfast’s history, and we appreciated how Paul and Shaun took the time to answer all our questions. Their passion and professionalism shone through, making this one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Belfast – it’s a must-do to truly understand the city’s past and present. Thank you, Paul and Shaun, for an amazing experience!

Belfast Political and Mural Tour - I had a brilliant front seat taxi tour of Belfast's murals. Joel took me to Protestant and Catholic areas as well as the wall that still divides them. He gave me insights into personal life in Belfast during political unrest from the start of The Troubles up to today. I was born in the 1970s and grew up in Dublin and I learned things that I never knew about Belfast which I think I should have known. I will take this taxi tour again because I am sure there is more for me to learn.
