Recommend it! - We booked this tour because we were interested in learning a bit about the Troubles in Belfast. We already knew a little about the complicated history of Northern Ireland, but this tour really helped us understand it more. Darren showed us some areas in Belfast where a lot happened and a lot of history was still visible. The murals were beautiful to see and even better and more impactful with Darren’s explanation. We recommend doing this black taxi tour to better understand Belfast’s history and current state. He told us the city and the people are slowly but surely healing and learning from the past, which was a positive ending to our tour! Thanks Darren! Gr. from Erwin and family from Netherlands

Incredibly impactful - This tour was an unforgettable experience. My guide, Tony, was absolutely outstanding, providing a deeply personal and insightful perspective on the city's complex and often tumultuous history. Tony's knowledge and firsthand experiences brought a unique depth to the tour, offering insights into Belfast's political landscape that you won't find in standard history books. His stories and explanations of significant sites were both eye-opening and profoundly moving. What made this tour truly exceptional was Tony's ability to convey the historical events with clarity and empathy. His passion of the history and hope for change made the tour not only informative but also incredibly impactful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast. Tony's expertise and heartfelt storytelling provide a valuable and memorable perspective on the city's past and present, making this tour an essential experience.

Touroperator City Tours Belfas no longer works with Viator. - The company offering this tour no longer works with Viator. So no taxi arrived at the agreed time/place. I did get my money back from Viator, but it would be better if this tour was no longer offered at all via the Viator website.
