Incredibly impactful - This tour was an unforgettable experience. My guide, Tony, was absolutely outstanding, providing a deeply personal and insightful perspective on the city's complex and often tumultuous history.
Tony's knowledge and firsthand experiences brought a unique depth to the tour, offering insights into Belfast's political landscape that you won't find in standard history books. His stories and explanations of significant sites were both eye-opening and profoundly moving.
What made this tour truly exceptional was Tony's ability to convey the historical events with clarity and empathy. His passion of the history and hope for change made the tour not only informative but also incredibly impactful.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast. Tony's expertise and heartfelt storytelling provide a valuable and memorable perspective on the city's past and present, making this tour an essential experience.

Great Overview of the Troubles! - Martin made the history come alive for us! He did a great job providing history of the area and sharing his own experiences during the troubles. Great way to see these sites especially if on time restraint.

Brilliant - Highly recommend. Tony was our tour guide and was just amazing! Very knowledgeable about the Troubles and was able to answer any questions we had. Whilst the Troubles is a serious topic, Tony made the ride enjoyable and we all had a good laugh! 5stars!

Unmissable tour of Irish history - Tony took us back to significant places in recent history and educated us on everything to do with Irish conflict, revolutionaries and the Troubles. He explained the amazing murals all over the area and detailed both sides of the story then took us to a little museum that we would’ve missed if we’d travelled the city ourselves. This tour was fascinating, heart wrenching and intimate. It is essential to understand the history of Ireland. Highly recommended also by another tour company we’d used for the Giants Causeway.

Never turned up - Never turned up. Was left waiting at pickup point. I suspect Viator there was some bug in the system and Viator never passes on my booking to tour company
