Great tour guide, informative and experienced! - The tour was short but VERY informative. We had a really great driver (Alan) who lived through the troubled times and had first hand witness accounts of the struggles. He did a very good job of explaining both the history and the present day struggles that continue in Northern Ireland. Our tour driver was in a very nice card, was waiting ahead of our scheduled time and was open to answering a plethora of questions from us. I would recommend this tour, especially if you get lucky enough to be with a guide who actually experienced all the turmoil.

Outstanding Tour of Troubles in Belfast - We had a great tour with Jackie. He was so knowledgeable about the sights we were seeing and thoughtful with his commentary. The tour title tells you upfront it is a political tour of Belfast, but I commend Jackie on presenting a great, non-biased, historical, and very informative introduction to the Troubles in Belfast. Having lived through and experienced so much of the history, it would be easy to stay in the past, but Jackie drew a very clear picture of both sides and was adamant in his desire for his city and his country to continue to move forward. We were very moved by the entire experience. I highly recommend this tour and of course, Jackie!
