Incredible day - The walking tour and information divulged was a real unique experience. Our guide Barbara was second to none l. Sharing her own experiences through the troubles were unbelievable. Barbara’s story is of significant historic importance, to be given a person for such as her to share the facts was something very special. This was one of the highlights of our weekend and for my partner Liam, it gave a great sense of pride walking the falls road tour with a deeper appreciation for his heritage, faith and love for being Irish. Thank you so much Barbara ☘️

Intimate, Up-Close Experience - Very informative tour with local guide who lived through the Troubles. Walked Falls Road and surrounding areas and learned about the history of the troubles, key players and the nationalist point of view. Highly recommend this walking tour for an intimate up-close experience. Ends with a visit to the Republic Museum which is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of the Nationalist movement in Northern Ireland.

Best walking tour in Belfast! - Barbara, the guide, was really great! I understood everything she said even if I'm italian, she's very affable, and I learnt a lot about recent northern Ireland history. I was even moved to tears a couple of times... I reccomend it!
