So informative and engaging. Explained so many events in great detail. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Belfast.
This was such a wonderful tour- that was both educational and moving. I learned so much from the personal stories our tour operator Joe McCullough shared. He truly had the lived experience which told the story in a meaningful and memorable way. My entire family loved this experience
and Joe was one of the best tour guides I’ve encountered. Highly recommended!

Thank you Allan
Incredible experience. Our tour guide provided a personal, in-depth, emotional history and perspective that was so enlightening to a pair of Americans in Belfast for the first time. I would recommend this tour to every first-time visitor to Belfast.

Brilliant feedback Kevin,
Thank you
The beautiful gentleman who did the tour - I found his experience quite emotional. Living overseas, and perhaps for more local people, we did not see the "behind the scenes" activity. A very eye opening experience. It certainly changed my impression of the IRA and what it wanted to acheive.

Thank you susan
This was an excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. I should have written his name down but I think it was Joe. He provided us with so much information about the history of Ireland’s trouble. Highly recommend.

Hi jeannine
It was a pleasure meeting your family..wonderful people.
John was very much an expert witness on the Troubles. He gave us so much first hand knowledge about the ongoing conflicts in Belfast. A comfortable and very informative tour. Thank you.
Astonishingly good tour given by someone who was articulate, knowledgeable, fair and passionate. Someone who lived through the troubles and saw them from the inside. Gave us a brilliant insight to what went on and gave us almost twice the time we had paid for. Totally memorable.
A highly enlightening tour of Belfast and the troubles and sadly relevant. Our driver was sympathetic, generous, knowledgable, engaged, and a highly skilled communicator. I have done this tour several times, and it is a must, if you wish to understand just a little bit of the complex context of this interesting city.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you
This was way beyond murals. It was a tour showing us the troubles from someone who had lived it. Brought to live but with balance. It was very interesting and we have come away with more mature outlook on what happened. The tour Guide. (Joe) was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, he gave us ideas for places to go and showed us what we wanted to see.

Excellent review Jill, it was brilliant meeting you both, and I hope one day you can return, it would be a pleasure travelling with you again
The tour was really good, the knowledge John had about the history of Northern Ireland and the troubles was incredible and we got a very balanced view from both sides of the conflict, I learnt a lot and the stories behind every mural was very interesting and eye opening.

Thank you so much for booking with us,
your words are very kind
Very informative tour of the history and murals of Belfast. They went out of their way to make it personal for us which we really appreciated. We would recommend this tour.
Great tour and would highly recommend! Took us around Belfast and shared with us history, the murals, and personal stories.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. He lived thru the troubles and even lost his job because of his religion. It really opened our eyes to what had occurred I highly recommend this tour
Great tour! This is a wonderful way to learn about the troubles and gain insight into the people and politics of Northern Ireland.
Our guide was great! He was very flexible in scheduling our start time since were were arriving from Dublin that day and unsure when we would get settled in Belfast. He was very knowledgeable about the murals and gave meaningful insight about the Troubles.
Fantastic few hours with Jackie, hearing about the troubles and how things are now. A must do when in Belfast.
This was fantastic and Jacki our guide was amazing and worth every penny and some. Great experience.

Carol and Alan Australia
This was a great day and very informative. Would recommend this trip.
This tour was fabulous. Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable, articulate and charming. It was well worth every penny and then some. I can't recommend this tour more highly, especially for those who want to put history in perspective, learn the issues of the troubles from both sides and discover how that history impacts on today in Belfast.
David and Gay Silberg
This was an excellent tour ! Jackie was exceptional , friendly, cheerful , great historian and tour guide and .This tour was a highlight of our 4 days in Ireland / Northern Ireland. We learnt a lot about the political 'troubles' and were given good opportunities for photo's at the various places. I highly recommend this tour and feeling that I have a much better understanding of the political history in Belfast.
