Paula was very knowledgeable and a pleasure as our tour guide. We learned so much about the turbulent time in Irish history.
Paula was absolutely lovely, so informative, and made me so comfortable as a solo traveler. Left the tour significantly more knowledgeable of northern Ireland’s history. Highly recommend!
Our driver was guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Belfast. There were several road closures because of a parade so our tour took much longer. Ian handled it with ease and made us feel very comfortable.
Barry was great! We came into the tour without a ton of background knowledge about the city and the history, and he was an absolute wealth of knowledge and storytelling! We were so grateful to get to go through the city with him, and truly learned so much background and got so much context!
Extremely informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable and obviously very passionate. He definitely catered the tour towards our interests.
Great tour, very informative and interesting. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend doing this tour.

the very best introduction to Belfast and it's history
wonderful explanation of the troubles and the various political issues
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!
Paula was a wonderful tour guide! She was knowledgeable and was able to tell us about the history of Belfast and Northern Ireland in an engaging way. We asked questions and she answered them with honesty and sincerity. This tour was a highlight of our trip.

Thanks Beth!
Paula 😀
Here it is a long while after the tour. We had a profoundly wonderful and authentic experience and hope to do this again.
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!
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
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.
We learned a lot about the history of Ireland and the Troubles. Paula was excellent and we would highly recommend her

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
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
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.
Paula
It very informative both historically with personal antidotes. Barry was personable, animated, and passionate about sharing information. It was the experience we wanted but even was above and beyond.

Paula was an amazing tour guide who provided us with a detailed and balanced review of The Troubles, escorted us to all the important sites, and answered all of our questions truthfully and fully. Her tour was the best we booked during our stay in Belfast.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much Michael. Was a pleasure having you both on the tour with myself. I am delighted you enjoyed the tour and hope you enjoyed what our beautiful city had to offer. Hope to see you back some day soon.
Paula
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.

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.”
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for the great review. I am delighted you enjoyed the tour and the information provided. I hope your visit to Belfast was a great one and you loved our city as much as I do.
Paula
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.
Really great tour, pitched perfectly and with a guide who took our interests on board to tailor it appropriately. We really enjoyed ourselves and learned lots, thanks Paula!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks so much Laura. A pleasure to meet you both. Delighted you enjoyed the tour with myself. Your first but certainly not your last trip to Belfast. Until next time.
Paula
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.
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
