Excellent Guide; Fascinating History

Lisa_W, Jan 2022
Barry was a fantastic guide… he was well versed in all aspects of the history of Belfast and his knowledge (and personal experiences) of the Troubles were both sobering and fascinating… We saw all 4 corners of the City and I came out with a better understanding of this vibrant and at times troubled city. Would absolutely recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thanks Lisa it was lovely to meet you and show you around Belfast!

A mixed bag

tss, Nov 2019
Our driver was competent, friendly & helpful providing a running commentary on the tour. The vehicle was clean & comfortable & the driver was obviously well versed in the Troubles & the outcome. Unfortunately, some of his commentary was strongly biased in favour of the IRA & its activities, although it is also fair to say that my partner was not particularly concerned with this aspect. Overall a satisfactory outcome.

Eye Opening Experience

Diane_L, Aug 2019
Although my husband and I were well aware of the challenges/conflicts that Northern Island, specifically Belfast, faced between the Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants, it was amazing to have a first hand account of what living during these times was like. Our tour guide, Joe, was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and we as outsiders could feel his passion as evidenced by stopping at some historically important places during the conflicts and even presently. This was an incredible tour and so happy we did not miss it. We enjoyed the city of Belfast very much, the cleanliness and how safe we felt walking around, so this tour added to our pleasure of learning first hand.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Hi Diane Thanks for the Great Review! Joe P.S. we have been operating our Private Tours for over 20+ years and our clients reviews keep us in business! All the best 😀

Belfast experience

Mark G, May 2019
We were very fortunate to have Barry take us on a comprehensive tour of the murals as well as an insight into the past and present in relation The Troubles. Additionally he included other areas of interest and a general overview of his wonderful city of Belfast. No questions were off limits, and he gave me an insight and broad education on a a disturbing part of Irish history ,that I had been grappling with for many years. Outstanding tour by an outstanding tour guide. Many thanks from Mark -Australian Firefighter.

Response from Host, May 2019

Mark it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife. I really enjoyed showing you around our great city of Belfast and as always sharing some craic with you Aussies who have a great sense of humour! I am glad that you were able to get a greater understanding of the conflict. All the best Barry 🇦🇺
