the very best introduction to Belfast and it's history
wonderful explanation of the troubles and the various political issues
Safiye_B, Jul 2026
Excellent tour! Paula was so knowledgeable about the history of Northern Ireland. Her tour was so interesting and we learned so much that we didn’t know about the troubles. She was very kind and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!
Beth_H, Jul 2026

Here it is a long while after the tour. We had a profoundly wonderful and authentic experience and hope to do this again.
Kari_A, Jun 2026
Barry was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job of educating us and providing us with important context for the murals, memorials and museum he showed us. We were very pleased with our tour and would highly recommend Barry to anyone wanting to do such a tour!
Tracy_M, Jun 2026
Very interesting tour with lots of history. Part drive part walking. Our tour guide was Paula. She was awesome! Very knowledgeable, she grew up right in Belfast and had lots of her own experiences and memories. Great experience
Carmen_N, May 2026
This was a fantastic tour - really eye opening and made me feel slightly naive about Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland and the divide. Cannot believe the peace walls are still up! Our guide was great, but also spoke quite quickly when feeling passionate which made him a little tricky to keep up with.
Joe_L, May 2026
We learned a lot about the history of Ireland and the Troubles. Paula was excellent and we would highly recommend her
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you Joe.
Pleasure having you and your lovely wife on the tour. Whilst it was a short visit I hope the list of information helps explain the history of our beautiful city.
Hope you made it back home promptly and safe.
Best wishes
Paula
Tracy_B, May 2026
It’s loaded with history facts. More information than I could process. Although it’s not a fun activity, it was a fantastic tour. A must for at least older children and adults.
Response from Host, May 2026
Great review Tracy. Thank you so much for doing me on the tour and taking in the history of our beautiful city. Hope to see you back for further exploring.
Many thanks
Paula
Alan_F, May 2026
Best tour ever! I learned so much about the troubles. I never expected to be moved by the struggles and the pain that are still very much a part of life today. It was amazing to hear the stories from someone who has lived through the times and continues to educate people so that we never forget. We (as a society in whole) tend to choose to forget and/or ignore pains that aren't our own. During this tour we got to briefly experience those pains but also the hope of the healing of a whole nation.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you Alan. It was an absolute pleasure to have you both on the tour, that I was able to do it justice. Having someone as infectious as yourself and as eager to learn makes this job easy. You both soaked in every bit of information that was delivered and I can only hope I've left a lasting effect.
Hope to see you both back on our beautiful island in the near future.

This was a truly extraordinary, invaluable experience. Our tour guide, Barry had an encyclopedic knowledge of Irish history and culture, a great sense of humor and was a gifted storyteller who told us the unvarnished, captivating story of Belfast. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn and gain a greater sense of empathy for both sides of the Troubles. I will remember this tour for the rest of my life.

A taxi tour in Belfast is an absolute must to understand the city's history. Our driver, Paula, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us fantastic insights, and I can say we learned a lot. On the tour, we saw the memorials of both sides, as well as memorial gardens and the Peace Wall. We would definitely recommend this experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

The Belfast Taxi Tour conducted by Paula, was fascinating. She was extremely knowledgeable and interesting and she explained, in detail, the history of Northern Ireland and “the Troubles.”

Joe was our guide and we cannot recommend him enough. He was so knowledgeable and his stories from the times of the troubles were so interesting. No question was off limits. Thanks again Joe and like you said it’s time to break the mental barriers down.

Kyla_A, Oct 2025
This was a very informative experience. It's heavy. Lots of dark and difficult stories within this tour but important to take time to learn about this foundational Irish history.
Claire_H, Oct 2025
Great tour of Belfast. Offered hotel pick up and very comfortable transport. Took you to areas of the city you would not normally see. Really brought the troubles to life and how the tension still exists today
John_F, Oct 2025
It was a great experience. The driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and hilarious. I'd highly recommend taking this tour. A++. I 100% would go on this tour again.
Alison_B, Oct 2025
Oh my goodness. What an amazing tour. Billy, our tour guide, was simply fantastic. He gave us so much of the history and was so passionate about it. We learned about “The Troubles” and how things haven’t been resolved even after Al this time. This is a must do tour for so many reasons.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks Alison it was Lovely to Meet you All and Explain about Ireland's Bloody History including the Conflict known as the Troubles!

This was simply one of the best tours I've ever been on. My driver was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, informed, raw and communicative regarding the history of Belfast and the Troubles. He was also very colourful and entertaining, if those are the right words. Absolutely fascinating.
