Dan was an absolutely incredible tour guide, he does it in a very unique way. He shows you the history of the North of Ireland through 3 perspectives so you can really get the picture. He took me to some absolute jaw dropping places and was such a kind and lovely man to talk to. He has incredible knowledge and charges a very reasonable price for what he gives you.

This was a great way of understanding the recent history of Ireland. The tour took us to some well known places and the commentary was very interesting to us all despite our varied ages. The driver was very accommodating as we changed our pick up spot. We thoroughly recommend this tour.

Dan was amazing! Easy pick up from Belfast train station he took me to the places and streets of his youth and filled them with first hand stories, you can ask a million questions and he'd patiently answer with his big heart. Thank you Dan for helping me learn and unlearn. There is still hope for humanity, because of people like you.

I took Dan’s tour with my two children (7 and 12), and it was absolutely fantastic! Dan was brilliant—engaging, thoughtful, and full of personal insight. He shared a moving first-hand account of growing up in Belfast and explained everything in a way that my kids could easily connect with. Dan gave us fascinating context about how Belfast’s history relates to conflicts around the world and why it still matters today. He welcomed every question about current politics and everyday life, and his honesty made the tour even more meaningful. Hearing from someone who lived through the Troubles yet now navigates a society where peace exists but tensions remain was truly eye-opening. We also loved that you can choose your pick-up and drop-off locations, which made the whole experience incredibly convenient.
Highly recommended!

Dan led an incredibly insightful and personal tour, hightling political murals and other sights. I am very thankful to have met Dan and learned his firsthand account of growing up in Belfast. And also appreciate the pub recommendation!

I’ve watched movies and read the history of the troubles but to hear it from someone who lived through those times made it so much more real. It was heartbreaking but our guide gave us a different perspective, one which can be applied to the problems in the world today.

Well, if you want to hear about the Palestinian tragedy and hear about Jesus and you would like to do it in an old run down minivan, then is the tour for you. I finally had enough and told him, “ I paid for tour to learn about the Troubles and NOT a tour to discuss what Israel is doing to the people in Gaza.” Possibly the single worst tour I’ve ever been on.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Many thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear you were disappointed in the tour. As a small business I will take your feedback on board. Many thanks Dan

A super interesting tour! Dan was a great guide with lots of stories and information to share. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

Dan gave us a thorough insight into his experiences growing up in Belfast during the Troubles. He's a very likeable and genuine guy, easy to talk to and nothing was out of bounds. I was so impressed with his positive attitude, and outlook on how things were, and are. He was brilliant with both my kids (15 & 12 years old), going them pens to write on the Peace Wall, and gave my boy an inspirational chat on beginning secondary school before we left. I keep thinking of his words 'an imperfect peace is better than a perfect war' and am glad we chose this particular tour. Very memorable, and lots of what Dan told us will stay with me always.

Dan was warm, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! (And, I wish I had his grace.) The highlight of our trip to Ireland!
Grainne_M, Jul 2025
Firstly, Dan M was so accommodating to us as we got delayed getting to Belfast in the torrental rain. The tour was excellent and to hear the history through lived experience and hear both sides to the story of the Troubles. Unmissable, and highly recommend. Thanks Dan for an unforgettable experience.

Mike_A, May 2025
We took the tour with our driver Dan M. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, informative. We learned a lot about the past conflict in Belfast from a neutral gentleman. Dan was a pleasure. Highly recommend this your.
Elaine_P, Apr 2025
Excellent tour with Dan, sharing his own personal experiences. He made us feel comfortable and we were able to ask any questions, very personalised. The taxi was very comfortable and he came with umbrellas at the ready :) He stopped the taxi at the places of interest so we could get out and take photos and talk about the area.
Dan also gave us a choice of pickup/ drop off locations which was excellent for us to see as much of the city as possible in the same day.

Brian_K, Jan 2025
Very informative tour, at times recalling the most macabre times yet interspersed with black humour. Driver guide very knowledgeable and answered questions informatively and frankly.
Eryn_V, Dec 2024
Dan was a great tour guide and spoke from his experience! He was kind to take us on Christmas Eve. We appreciated to hear both sides of the troubles. Although it was difficult to hear about the current issues of today in this tour.
Lisa_G, Aug 2024
Danny was very accommodating- offering to take photos for us in the rain.
We were given a detailed description of life in Belfast and the history of the region through his eyes and experience.
Shelby_M, May 2024
A unique experience. Depending on your driver you may have a very different view of events. This was very interesting to see and hear. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
Kelley_M, May 2024

Kevin_P, Sep 2023
An excellent tour and explanation, would highly recommend.
We never felt rushed and time was taken to explain in detail.
Shannon_O, Sep 2023
Our driver was exceptional. He shared both sides of the story beautifully and added personal experience into the mix, which we loved. We really loved being able to go into the church to see it as well. What a sad story, but well shared.
Maryanne_M, Sep 2023
This was a great tour. It was very informative and included several historical site visits. It covered the political and people side of The Troubles.
Lisa_G, Sep 2023
Danny was amazing - from setting up our meeting point to his post tour recommendations! We learned so much! He was great about answering questions, especially my 81 yr old mom’s. Can’t recommend enough!
Stuart_E, Aug 2023
Fantastic taxi man guide , full of knowlage and explained it all in great yet sad detail .
A very interesting insight into the troubles , and thankfully what is the now
Tracy_W, Aug 2023
Our driver was very sweet. He was attentive to one of the travelers in our party who is in a wheelchair. I have taken the Black Cab tours twice and this tour was very different and not as informative or as engaging as those tours so from that aspect it was a little disappointing. Again, our driver could not have been nicer and even came back to return an item we left in his van. My advice would be to book a tour that runs with the actual black cabs and not a taxi.
