Additional Information
This sightseeing trip is led by a native who was raised amidst the dispute.
He was born in May 1969, while the discord ‘began in August 1969’.
This is ‘The Strife I was Raised In’.
There’s no one more appropriate to guide you through the areas of conflict than someone from the locale.
Bits of this tour may be extremely intense.
My aim will be to maintain neutrality throughout the tour ‘Yet’, I promise to always be truthful and sincere.
My narration is raw and real.

Incredibly comprehensive and fascinating tour. - What a fantastic tour! We were visiting Belfast for the day as part of a cruise ship stop. With Paul meeting us at the cruise port, off we went for an incredibly comprehensive and enjoyable tour. Paul was a passionate and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Having lived through Belfast’s troubled times, Paul was passionate and knowledgeable about these difficult years. Not being from Belfast, and not being exposed to these troubled years, we were not very familiar with its history. What an eye opener! If in Belfast, I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. Paul, thanks for a great tour and I look forward visiting Belfast again in the future.

Fantastic Day! So much more than a check the box tour, absolutely loved it! - What a fantastic day! We wanted much more than the two hour black taxi check the box tour of the Troubles and Peace Walls - we wanted to truly understand the history, what it was like and what it is like living there today. Our guide was a walking history book - not only has he studied the history and written about it - he has personally lived it. We highly recommend this tour! Fantastic Day

Belfast Executive Guided Tour - Paul was exceptionally good. Very passionate and knowledgeable about the "Troubles." Being born during that time and raised in the area gives him special insight into that period. And showing us the places where his wife's aunt and best friend were killed gave extra impact. Even though he was raised on one side of the conflict, he did his best to give an unbiased view of the Troubles. Tour turned out to last much longer, and better, because of his expertise. Highly recommend this guide.
