The Wall That Speaks for the World - Our tour guide was incredible — he gave a powerful and insightful account of the people who lived through the Troubles, the difficult events that led to the peace process, and the often under-recognised individuals who contributed to it. He was also great craic, keeping the tour engaging and enjoyable throughout. We were grateful for the chance to capture some great photos of the beautiful murals and to learn about such an important part of history. The wall itself is a living voice — people sign it day and night. Though it can feel intrusive or painful for those who wish to forget, it stands as the closest thing to a living museum, a voice box for all who have suffered, and for those who continue to suffer under war and oppression. It speaks not only for Belfast, but for the world — a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go.

A must to do - Amazing background on troubled Belfast. We were surprised there appears to be a continued point of view on the politics. We would hope it will be all resolved sooner than later.. however, thoroughly recommend this tour to any visitors

Exceeded my expectations for a thoroughly delightful experience not to be missed - My original reservation became uncertain because bad weather had canceled my train to Belfast; I notified trip Advisor which offered to refund or reschedule me; I elected to take a later train and rescheduled. The tour guide was at the prearranged meeting site on my arrival at new time. I then had a first rate tour of Trouble areas with a college level history lesson. Incredible experience I highly recommend. My tour guide then dropped me off at the train station. Under extreme circumstances, this was both a memorable and top drawer experience I am glad I did not miss; it’s a tribute to trip Advisor and the tour company as expectations exceeded.

Disappointing tour - Would not recommend Premier as Black Cab tour. Pick up location changed without notifying us & driver was then 25 min late. Guide very biased when discussing history of Troubles. We took multiple tours during our 2 wk visit to Ireland and could not understand this guide due to his accent- not a problem on any other tours.
