Belfast tour - The personal touch that we received. Our guide, Mall, was excellent. He entertained us with so many stories and facts. The pick up at the ship made it easy on our group.

I would highly recommend this tour if visiting Belfast - Really enjoyed an afternoon in the company of Gerry with my son. We both learnt so much. Gerry’s passion, personal experiences and local knowledge are second to none. His ability to story tell combined with his wonderful old photos and videos really captivated us. I would highly recommend Gerry’s tour.

No Tour / Driver abandoned us on the sidewalk before it started - We requested a non-smoking cab and driver for the 10:30 am Black Taxi Tour in Belfast. I received a text message giving me an alternate pickup spot, which was fine. Then he told me he only had 11:30 or 12 O' Clock slots available. I returned the call and the operator said he now had a driver for the 10:30 am pickup. The driver was 10 minutes late on arriving. When I climbed in the car, the back seat and floor were filthy and reeked of cigarette smoke. My wife was disgusted. When I told the driver we requested a non-smoking car, he said it was non-smoking, and he was the only one who smoked. We asked if he could find another driver? He said, "Let me go over here to the cab stand and see if I can find you one." Then he drove off. I called the tour operator, who told me we are not getting a refund, so I had better hop back in the car. But the driver was long gone, undoubtedly out to pick up other business. Bottom line is: WE NEVER TOOK THE TRIP, THIS WAS A SHADY OPERATOR, AND NOT THE USUAL LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE SEE THROUGH Viator / Trip Advisor. These were bad actors. The phone showed as "Gerardo" on Whats Ap, The text Message came from "LUCY," and an e-mail sent to me through Viator was signed "Chole" telling me "we won't be paying you a refund for your tour." However, we never took the tour, and I do expect a refund.
