A first hand recollection of the Troubles - David, our host gave us a first person view of how the Troubles impacted him and his family. As he discussed those very difficult times , friends and neighbors waved and went about their business. He took time to answer lots of questions and give us a view of today's Belfast. I am old enough to remember the 1970-1980 conflict and it put a personal face on it. I think the standard deviation of tour guides is high and David is at the top of the list........highly recommended.

Thought provoking - This was a thought provoking and interesting tour of the peace wall, Shankshill and Falls Roads. Taking in the murals of these contentious areas. The guides gave us first hand information of the history and what’s it’s like to live in these areas.

Found the experience... - Found the experience didn't meet expectations as had heard how good they are. Got into taxi and was hit with an overwhelming smell of cigarettes. The driver seemed to be in a poor state of mind and didn't find the information was presented clearly.
