Review for Tony— a tour to remember - Review for Tony – A Tour to Remember Tony was our driver, and from the moment he greeted us—punctual and exactly where he said he’d be—we knew we were in good hands. What followed wasn’t just a tour, but a deeply moving introduction to the city’s past and present. Tony’s explanations were thorough and heartfelt, weaving together the events that shaped the region with clarity and compassion. His passion was palpable as he guided us through the highlights, not just recounting what happened, but exploring why it happened and how such conflicts might be prevented—not only here, but across the world. It was more than sightseeing; it was a lesson in empathy, history, and hope. Thanks again- Greg and Warren

Black taxi political tour . Alan was our taxi driver , he has been giving this tour for over 20 years and was very good - Alan was our taxi driver , Alan was very experienced and knowledgeable about the area and the troubles that occurred in Belfast from 1969 to 1998. Alan showed us an actual rubber bullet and spoke graphically and honesy about all the events that unfolded. Alan let us out of the taxi many times for pictures .

Amazing tour and guide - The guide (Michael) was incredible. He knew so much about everything we stopped at and was so nice! The tour itself was fascinating and took us to the coolest street art spots that had political propaganda on them. Also our guide brought a marker with him so we could sign our names on one of the walls where that’s become a thing!

Impressive - It was interesting. If I had more time I would have done a walking tour probably because you get more info for your pound, because walking tours last three hrs and are cheaper.

Very interesting history - Driver was courteous and informative . A little scary regarding what we should and shouldn’t say . So we were silent listened and respected the story. Once we got into the swing of it , it was enjoyable but sobering
