Absolutely Amazing! - We met with Ricky today and our tour was absolutely amazing! Not only did he educate us with the ways of Northern Ireland, but he spoke from experience. We thought we knew some of the history... but boy were we wrong. This tour is sad and beautiful all at the same time.

Amazing, informative and entertaining tour - Brendan was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and stayed impartial. There was so much for us to learn, know and understand. We left feeling empathetic to their past, and hopeful for their future.

Take this tour! - Gerry was very funny and knowledgeable. We loved it! We wish we’d had more time with Gerry to ask questions and see more of the city

A Must-Do Experience! - Our guide, Stevie (sp?), was truly a delight. He started with the most fundamental information about the troubles so we had a grasp and from there tailored the tour to what we were most curious about. He made extra stops at murals that interested us and didn’t shy away from any and all questions. He was also so kind and welcoming. We truly got an immersive wealth of northern Irish history and we felt so thankful. I cannot recommend this tour enough. This is great for those interested in history, politics, religion, and culture and who want a true account of the troubles.

Extremely moving and informative - We had Brian as our driver and he was fantastic. His commentary and knowledge was exemplary, this tour was truly an eye opener. Our only issue was that we had to contact the company to find out why they didn't turn up. There appeared to be an issue with the booking but it was cleared straight away and Brian picked us up.
