Great way to learn about the Troubles - This is a great way to see Belfast and learn about the Troubles. We loved that we actually stopped and were able to walk around at the sites, take photos, and ask questions. Sean was easy to visit with and did not hurry us through the tour.

What a history lesson!! - Omg where do I start? First off, you must request Sean to be your guide. He is personable, very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. My husband and I learned so much; we kept looking at each other saying “I didn’t know that”. We had such a great time with Sean that we didn’t want the tour to end.

Wonderful tour, full of interesting details - My dad and I had a working knowledge of “The Troubles” before our tour but Brendan was amazingly informative without being dry. The parts that deserved some wry humor got it but the somber parts also got the respect they deserved! He was very helpful overall on top of being just an amazing tour guide!

Fascinating experience! - We were interested to learn about the history of The Troubles and Brandon did a great job explaining what it was like growing up during The Troubles and what it is like living in Belfast even today. It was much more meaningful to hear about it firsthand. I would highly recommend this tour!
