Additional Information

Established amidst conflict, our company was formed by the original drivers who provided transportation to their communities during a prolonged cessation of bus services. These pioneers of black taxi service are an integral part of our legacy. Our guide team is thoroughly versed in 800 years of British and Irish history. We pride ourselves on harboring a diverse workforce, irrespective of being Catholic or Protestant; we notably identify both as loyalists and republicans. Our seasoned drivers, all aged 50 and above, have endured the Troubles and there’s not a single family among us that hasn’t experienced loss due to the conflict.

Amazing, informative and entertaining tour - Brendan was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and stayed impartial. There was so much for us to learn, know and understand. We left feeling empathetic to their past, and hopeful for their future.

A Must-Do Experience! - Our guide, Stevie (sp?), was truly a delight. He started with the most fundamental information about the troubles so we had a grasp and from there tailored the tour to what we were most curious about. He made extra stops at murals that interested us and didn’t shy away from any and all questions. He was also so kind and welcoming. We truly got an immersive wealth of northern Irish history and we felt so thankful. I cannot recommend this tour enough. This is great for those interested in history, politics, religion, and culture and who want a true account of the troubles.
