Excellent tour, brilliant tour guide! - After a rocky start, no one arrived to take us, a couple of phone calls and 45 minutes later Sean was called in and he took us on an amazing tour of Belfast. His knowledge was excellent and he was friendly and made our trip a highlight of our Belfast stay!

Tour from a local - Sean was our driver and was in contact with me before the trip started to confirm pick up location and start time. He was a great driver and a better tour guide of the city where he was raised. It was a great experience.

Excellent Tour - This is highly recommended. Brendan was our driver and tour guide and I have to say he was excellent. His approach was to find out what we were interested in and made suggestions on where to take us. Nothing was too much trouble and gave us a great narrative of the troubles in NI. His knowledge was excellent and answered all our questions with ease. Highly recommended and was the highlight of my trip to Belfast. He picked us up from our hotel and then dropped us off outside Crumlin Road Gaol which is also recommended.

The Troubles of Belfast - The tour was very interesting thanks to our wonderful guide Jim & him little comanion Poggy. Maybe a bit a tourist trap if you see the price level of other tours. Be aware that watching a documentary is worth before the tour. It helps a lot to unterstand the troubles.
