Diarmaid made history come alive - I had a fantastic tour with Diarmaid. He’s incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel personal and engaging. He answered all my questions with honesty and depth, and I left feeling inspired to learn more about Northern Ireland. Highly recommend if you're curious and love meaningful conversations.

Caolan was AMAZING - We joined Caolan for a political tour of Belfast It was a great tour. He explained both sides of a very complicated issue. I felt like i was in my high school history class with my favorite teacher. Highly recommend this tour. Caolan was a wealth of information. He went out of his way to explain everything and used pictures and video from his phone. If i had to take a test on the Northern Ireland conflict, I’d ace it!! Thank you. As Caolan said when he left us, we have homework to do!! Were renting “In the Name of the Father” right now 😆😆😆🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

If you want to learn about the political history, do THIS TOUR - My tour guide (sorry I can’t remember how to spell your name), was professional, informative, funny, engaging, frank, provided an unbiased view of the actions of the Catholics and Protestants, answered all my questions (and I did have a lot) and even gave me homework with a list of resources to read or podcasts to listen to. I even got a bottle of water. For someone from overseas who is unaware of the history to the creation of Northern Ireland and the Troubles this tour is the one to do. I highly recommend it.

Genuine and Authentic 100% - We had the absolute pleasure of doing the Belfast’s Past taxi tour with Caolan, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met him, Caolan was warm, genuine, and completely authentic, exactly the kind of guide you hope for but rarely find. His knowledge of Belfast’s history was incredible, but what truly set him apart was the way he shared it, with honesty, heart, and a deep personal connection to the stories he told. He created a space where we could ask questions, reflect, and truly understand the complexity of Belfast’s past. Caolan didn’t just show us the sights, he gave us insight. It felt like we were travelling through history with a friend who lived it, not just someone who’d read about it. This tour was moving, powerful, and incredibly human, all thanks to him. If you’re visiting Belfast, don’t miss this tour and if you’re lucky enough to get Caolan as your guide, you’re in for something really special.

An honest and factual account of Belfast’s troubles - Diarmaid was a great tour guide who educated us as much as possible in 1.5hrs on the troubles in the Belfast area. There is so much we did not know! It was interesting, sad, shocking and a must for anyone visiting Northern Ireland.
