A No miss tour! So much to understand and learn! - JIM- from xplore Belfast murals was our guide.
He was incredibly knowledgeable, having lived through the Troubles in Belfast, his views were non partisan and non judgmental. And even though his tour was very informative, his humour added a very relaxed 2 hrs. considering the importance of his message. This is a tour every one should go on If they are looking to understand the history of Belfast.
It’s with people like Jim, that we can only hope to understand what happened and can move forward for long lasting unity and peace.

Incredible Tour of Belfast - Fabulous tour by an excellent guide. Nigel gave us a comprehensive history of Belfast, from the early 1900s through to the troubles and present day. His knowledge and description of the city through these times was incredible. I learnt so much. Thank you so much Nigel. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Belfast’s rich political history,

A must for all - What a fantastic experience. Nigel brought the city and the history of The Troubles alive for us. He answered our (many!) questions and gave a really balanced viewpoint of what happened and why. Everyone needs to do these tours to truly experience the city.

Such a brilliant respectful tour and guide - We are just after a tour with Jim. I would highly recommend Jim and Xplore Belfast Murals, such an informative and respectful tour guide. I would give him 10 stars if I could ✨️

Brilliant Tour, Superb guiding by Jim - Did the murals tour on 29/12/24 with our 2 “kids” and my daughter’s boyfriend (all in their twenties). Jim picked us up from the Titanic Hotel and dropped us back to the sanctuary of the Crown Bar for a post tour Guinness.
Jim is a superb local guide who grew up in Belfast when things were at the absolute apex of tension and he knows every fine detail about what has happened over the entire troubles period. He had angles and deep perspectives which illuminate what happened, why it happened and what’s happening in the present day.
My wife and I are both from “Norn Iron” ourselves (Ballymena) so we have our own perspectives too, however Jim crucially fills in the vital blanks and missing bits which makes for an incredibly comprehensive and compelling tour.
My wife and I have done a Belfast murals tour previously - which was also great - but Jim opened up a whole new set of dimensions on this tour. Jim’s a great guy - if you get the chance ask for him personally.
My only regret - our tour was only 2 hours - I could easily spend a whole day listening to Jim’s stories about the troubles. We’ll just have to come back…

A must do in Belfast - Jim was outstanding!! Knowledgeable, insightful, and empathic are just a few words that come to mind, and funny!
One of the best city tours we have ever taken.
Hearing the background and history of The Troubles from someone who lived it was deeply moving, and we both learned so much!! Highly recommended!!
