Not the end of history - Incredible tour with a knowledgeable guide whose insight and compassion made this an unforgettable experience. Learn the history from a local who saw things first hand. A must do for any trip to Belfast; I found the tour so moving in its nuance, sensitivity, and ultimately, relevance.

Great experience! - John was a great storyteller who invested extra time to ensure we understood the context of the Troubles. It was an informative and enlightening tour. The Irish from Belfast are warm, welcoming and resilient. We loved that about them!

Excellent Tour & Tour Guide - Had a fantastic tour with Tony today. 3 of us on the tour had a good knowledge and interest in the events of the Troubles and were curious about the current atmosphere. Tony is a proud Belfast man who covered all sides of the conflict historically, and had brilliant insights into the present, mixed with his hopes for the future. Belfast is a vibrant city and the buzz around it is fantastic. This tour is brilliant no matter what your level of knowledge is. Thanks Tony and good luck with everything. Con, Moya & Martin

A must to understand the complexities of Belfast political history - Driver and guide Brennan provided a terrific tour of the political hot spots of Belfast. We really appreciated his local knowledge and experience, and learned so much that we hadn't known even though we'd thought ourselves well-informed. Plenty of opportunities to get out of the car and take photos, too.

Great, but only an hour and a half, not 2 - Our guide was great, friendly, very engaging and informative. I enjoyed all of it. Only disappointing aspect is that the tour was only an hour and a half and not 2 hours as advertised.

Very disappointed - There was a rally going on near our pick up point. They never contacted us or suggested that we move our pick up location. We could have been picked up two blocks away. This is a highlight tour. We were able to contact another guide. He was great and one third the price. The only reason I am giving two stars is that our money was reimbursed immediately.
