Amazing Tour with Arthur! Highly Recommended! - I had an incredible experience on this tour with Arthur! He has a deep knowledge of Belfast’s history and the history of Ireland as a whole, making every stop on the tour truly engaging and insightful. His passion for storytelling and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. One small suggestion I have is to include short breaks during the explanations so that we can ask questions along the way, rather than waiting until the end of the three-hour tour. This would make the interaction even more dynamic! Overall, I highly recommend Arthur’s tour to anyone visiting Belfast. It’s a fantastic way to learn about the city’s rich past with an expert guide.

Impermeable for history lovers - A must-see for those who love history. Arthur does not just take the tourists to the walls, but explains very didactically the last years of Belfast. His observations on the dangers of political or religious polarization are very relevant. In short: a trip that is well worth it!

Truly recommend wonderful historical trip - I went on the trip in 2020 during school travel. It was an amazing trip and helped me understand the history of Northern Ireland. Arthur was good, and he gave us some materials to look up, which was great. I still remember it, and I am recommending others check it out. Just remember to leave a comment now.

Very good tour, would do it again - Very good tour. Arthur is very knowledgeable about the Troubles and has first hand experience having lived and grown up in the area. You get to see some really interesting contested urban landscapes and Arthur provides a lot of information about what happened in various areas along the three-mile, three-hour stretch we walked. My only suggestion would be to allow short breaks for question-and-answer, rather than having us wait until the end of the tour to remember our questions from the past three hours. A more conversational style tour could boost interaction/engagement and provide mental breaks from the high volume of information we are absorbing.
