Great! I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know nearly enough about this time in history. Jim was very Jim Jim was great!! informative and also generous in answering our questions. Sure, you can go to the murals and the peace wall yourself, but hearing the stories from someone who lived through it was very powerful. Highly recommended!

What I noticed George did...

LIsa_D, Apr 2026
What I noticed George did which the other cabbie tour guides did not was bring photos of the area and its history.

Worth while tour

Learn about the murals & the stories behind them

Rose_D, Apr 2026
Interesting tour with many personal observations brings history alive. Guide was unhurried and answered our many questions.

Fantastic tour and Edward...

Nicola_H, Mar 2026
Fantastic tour and Edward our tour guide was brilliant. He gave an unbiased account of the troubles to the extent that it was hard to identify if he was a Catholic or Protestant! Great value for money

Superb tour with Jim

Julie_C, Feb 2026
You will stop at a small number of important murals that are very significant in the history of the conflict. Our guide Jim was friendly, welcoming and was able to give a real feel, from his own experiences, of what it was like growing up and living through the conflict, as well as how things have changed since the Good Friday Agreement. I'd definitely return and do this tour again. Highly recommended.

Breathtaking beauty of County Antrim & Giant's Causeway

Stephen_W, Sep 2025
First of all our guide John was not only super knowledgeable, but he was an absolute gentleman too. He ensured everyone on the trip were catered for and was more than happy to answer questions. The trip with McComb's is highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

Sean was very knowledgeable and added personal insight to his own experiences growing up in Belfast. Great history lesson. Highly recommend

Superb Tour

Stuart_M, Jun 2025
Fascinating tour explained perfectly and impartially by Jim who was a superb host. He looked after my 9 year old son and helped him to understand everything. Thoroughly recommended and thought provoking.

Incredibly moving and enjoyable experience!

Cassie_K, Jun 2025
Our guide Don was incredible! We had plenty of time to get out and take pictures, he took pictures for us as well. Answered any questions we had, I could have talked to him for hours! Incredible experience, highly recommend.

A must have experience

Janet_M, May 2025
This tour was the highlight of my visit to Belfast. Our guide Edward was amazing so knowledgeable and informative. Would highly recommend this tour.

Go - you will be moved!!

Kristin_T, Apr 2025
It’s an incredible experience - I’ve done it twice and I’ve learned so much each time. Was thrilled to share this with my husband and teenage son.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an incredible experience with XploreBelfast murals, not once but twice. It's fantastic that you learned so much each time and were able to share this unique adventure with your husband and teenage son.

Black Taxi Tour

Andrew_M, Sep 2024
Well worth the money to both see and hear about the history of the events that took place. The guide was excellent

Well done!

Lynnda_L, Sep 2024
Jim was great and we learned so much about both sides of The Troubles and all the heartbreaking stories. A wonderful introduction where we realize how much more we have to learn. Well done! Signed: The girls from Missouri

Ideal way to see the Murals

Nancy_B, Sep 2024
We enjoyed touring the murals privately and hearing the history of the conflict that took place in Belfast. Sean provided us with a good understanding of the conflict and picked us up at the cruise terminal(extra fee but was worth it)

DIDN'T TURN UP FOR US!!!!

Jacqui_I, Jun 2024
Didn't turn up at our pick up point, no way of contacting them other than email. I was on the phone for over half an hour with Viator and had to fight to get my money back. Viator said they would put in a refund request and it would take 5-7 working days to get back to my account IF the tour company agreed to the refund. I insisted I was not leaving the phone call until I had received my full refund, my contract was with Viator NOT the tour company. It was only when I asked to speak with the supervisor that I managed to get a resolution. Booked one through the local tourist office which was £20 cheaper!!!!! Great experience with them.

Essential Belfast.

Paul_C, May 2024
This was an incredible experience spent with someone who has lived through the troubles first hand. Moving and even emotional at times be prepared to perhaps challenge any pre-conceptions you may not even realise you have. Our guide completed the tour with a balance of both humour and respect and with an insight and honesty you can only have if you have actually lived it. We felt this was a must do in Belfast and are grateful to our guide for his handling of what must be at times a difficult subject. So much more than a simple tour of The Murals this is absolutely essential Belfast for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the turbulent past and gain a better understanding of the Cities recent history and hope for the future.

Book this trip - it’s worth it!

Emma_L, Apr 2024
Our driver was brilliant, knowledgeable, engaging and really fun. I can’t recommend more highly. We learnt a lot and covered a lot more ground than we would have been able to on our own.

Memorable. Educational and informative

Chris_E, Apr 2024
Our tour guide Jim on the belfast murals tour was very informative and not biased at all regarding the conflict that was being discussed. He was friendly and professional. First time using Viator and would definitely use again and have recommended to family and friends.

Excellent tour

Amanda_R, Apr 2024
Fascinating tour, we loved it. Would definitely recommend to those who remember the troubles and equally to those who are too young to remember.

Educational and enjoyable

Colin_D, Mar 2024
Joseph was very knowledgeable being a local and having lived all his life on the front line of the troubles. He is even related to one of the mural artists. We learned a lot while admiring the art of the murals.

Patrick was a very knowledgeable and personable tour guide! He made the history of The Troubles come alive. We highly recommend this tour!

Really good

Vikki_D, Nov 2023
Sean was very informative. Really enjoyed the experience. Got to stop and take pictures and also sign the peace wall.

Emotional and worthwhile tour

Fionnuala_M, Nov 2023
Our very knowledgabke tour guide brought stories of real people to life that you don't see on the news.

Tour of the Murals

Lindsay_L, Oct 2023
The tour guide was gave a history of both sides of The Troubles. However, we could tell that he favored the one side over the other. We thought that he should have just told both sides and left his opinions out of it.

Awesome

Jill_O, Oct 2023
Paddy was very warm and informative about the history of the conflict. We saw many different murals and learned about the history behind it.

Jim the humanitarian.

Paul_K, Oct 2023
When booking this tour ask for Jim. Knowledgable, considerate and enjoys a talk. Would recommend this tour to everyone.

Excellent Tour

Jim was an excellent guide who told the story of the Troubles with passion and great understanding. We really enjoyed every minute and have great compassion for Belfast and Ireland.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Not to be missed

Monica_L, Sep 2023
Our tour guide Jim was very informative, friendly and helpful. The tour was really interesting and thought provoking, learning of a history that is rarely taught in schools. I would recommend this tour for anyone travelling to Belfast.

Absolutely worth every moment

Beth_M, Sep 2023
Wow... Sean was absolutely fantastic. I cried a little... I was blown away by the knowledge and the personal connection Sean had for this part of his community. Everything about this city is about hope. So beautiful and brilliant.
