Brendan was amazing! Tour very interesting! - Our driver/tour guide, Brendan, was so lovely throughout the entire tour! He took us to the West and North of Belfast and told us about different key figures and era of the Troubles and what it was like growing up in West Belfast during that time. The entire tour was very informative and has really opened our eyes and minds to what was going on during the Troubles and what still goes on today. I would highly recommended the Black Taxi political tour to anyone visiting Belfast!!!!!

Great guide. Excellent, informative, and moving. - Tour was excellent. Our tour guide Brendan was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided many interesting details along the tour and gladly answered any questions we had. Recommend it if you want to learn more about the Troubles and get a better understanding of what went on in the past and how things are improving now. Very moving to hear the history. The tour itself was an appropriate duration at around 2 hours and the price was very reasonable.

✨✨Get Brendan ✨✨ - Brendan was amazing!! He gave us an in-depth perspective about the troubles of Ireland. He talked about the IRA and their memorial gardens. He showed us the walls that are still up from the troubles. He also showed us the Protestant side and their perspective. Brendan was very kind to me and my mother! I highly recommend Brendan if you can get him, as a young female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. 10/10 would recommend again!

Belfast Tour Recommendation - Thanks to Brendan for the knowledge he showed and the information he shared during our 2 hour political tour of Belfast. Brendan was a fantastic tour guide, helping us understand the political divide experienced in Belfast, the history surrounding it and the progress since the peace talks and the Good Friday agreement. Thanks for answering all our questions, accommodating the pick up and drop off and being a wonderful host.
