Guided tour of the murals of Belfast - My parents had a guided taxi tour with Tony on 29/07/2024. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was the highlight of their trip to Belfast. They found it very informative. Tony was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the history of the local area and he was very accommodating.

Depth of knowledge - Jimmy was passionate and knowledgeable. He loves his city and wants to see peace and unity while having a deep understanding of the history of the unrest. I could have spent another few hours chatting with him, I wish there was an option to add extra time.

Important tour! - Saturday 27 July a tour made with guide Tony. He knew a lot to tell us, also a piece of personal history and always made the link to the present. The places he showed us were special. I “enjoyed”, although this word is misplaced if you look at history!
