Excellent tour - We will talk about it for years to come - Our driver was Ricky. We thought this tour was fantastic - everyone coming to Belfast should do this tour. We are from Australia and it was a real eye opener and something we will talk about for years to come. Excellent knowledge and gave us a different prospective to what we had heard growing up.

An unforgettable Belfast experience - Thank you Brendan and Black Taxi Tours for such a moving, unforgettable experience. From minute 1, Brendan was aware of my Dad’s mobility issues and made he felt comfortable and ease throughout the tour. But beyond that, the depth of knowledge and quality of conversation allowed us to learn so much about Belfast’s history and what it can teach us.

Highly Recommend - We were fortunate to have gotten Emanuel as our driver / guide.... At 69 yo He had been a 7yr prisoner himself with the UK at the young age of 17. He artfully and "gut wrenchingly" designed his tour to slowly reveal his personal story and his relationship to some of the martyrs who died and who have murals on the walls of Belfast. We were stunned to learn even though the last death was 2001, the hatred is alive still in Northern Ireland. We had no idea. WE ARE ALL TGE SAME, WHY CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG?

Wonderful Tour - Wonderful tour. We saw many historic areas where the conflict in Dublin occurred. Our tour guide David is a local who knew all the details about how the "Troubles" began and raged on for years. He grew up in Dublin during the "Troubles" and had first hand information about how the conflict affected friends and family. His knowledge added a lot to the tour.
