Amazing and enlightening - I grew up in England in the 70s and 80s and news of the Troubles felt like a constant backdrop to my childhood. Walking down the Falls and Shankill Rds in the company of two men who live in their respective communities was an honour. Robert's view from the Republican perspective felt optimistic. It was amazing to be in the company of someone who was in prison with Bobby Sands. Mark's view from the Loyalist perspective was indeed conflicting. It felt pessimistic and raw with visceral stories of atrocities. I consider myself pretty well-informed about the politics of Northern Ireland. However, there is no substitute for hearing the stories of men who live here. This was a captivating tour - a highlight not just of my trip but possibly my life. I wish the people of West Belfast peace and prosperity. I very much hope the peace holds and is strengthened by integration, which sadly seems all too rare.

Two stories one hope - Fabulous experience. Educational and disturbing. A shared history but two very different stories told by those that have lived through the ‘troubles’. A must do excursion while visiting Belfast.

Excellent Two Perspective Tour - The Falls Road part of the tour was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgable and honest. Would recommend this tour to all.

Worth getting wet for… - Really interesting & enjoyed even in the pouring rain! Both guides were great & so interesting hearing their different perspectives.

Difficult but Rewarding Experience - We landed in Belfast from London in the morning and took this tour that afternoon. It was an eye opener that set the stage for a fabulous first visit to Ireland. The tour was led first by a Catholic, republican and nationalist, on one side of the Peace Wall and then a Protestant, loyalist and unionist, on the other side. Both were ardent supporters of their causes and presented personal portrayals of 'the troubles' that were at times painful and disturbing to hear. I came away with more questions than answers, which is not surprising when receiving such strident and polarizing views. This is not an easy tour and you will have to spend time talking and researching and debating to get closer to the truth. But in the end, it will enrich your visit and deepen your connection with the Irish, who despite the brutal subjugation and exploitation at the hands of the British, are the friendliest and most open people in the world.

Best tour I’ve ever been on. - This was such an unexpectedly amazing tour. Hearing the complicated and passionate stories about ‘The Troubles’ from two very different perspectives on either side of the Peace Wall…wow! Super authentic, interesting, heartfelt and informative. This was an absolutely incredible tour!

A very educational hike - My adult son and I really liked the concept of the walking tour. Our guide in Falls Road in particular shed light on the troubles from 1969 and the time after the peace agreement in a particularly good way. We went on the trip on April 24. Many thanks to Robert, and to the guide in the Shankill Road whose name we can't remember.

Afternoon in the sun! - Fantastic walking tour on both sides of the peace wall, hearing the history from people who lived it from both sides of the conflict.

You do get both sides views - It gave a true insight into why there will never be a solution to the troubles, both guides impassioned by their causes and immovable

Slightly lopsided but interesting tour - Paul is lovely! - I think this tour is interesting and definitely worth doing. For me, the first half was far more engaging as Paul, the Republican guide, is a particularly thoughtful, complex and interesting person and was very open to answering questions about his life (the good and the bad). Paul gets 5 stars for sure! A very self-reflective, kind and funny person. I hope all his dreams for a peaceful future for the young people pan out! I found the second half a bit of a struggle to get through as it was very repetitive, angry and far more polemic than personal history. As in 100% polemic, zero personal history. I was expecting to hear conflicting stories but the second half was veering beyond personal opinion towards completely alternative facts in relation to statistics, political history and the like. I understand that there is a lot of trauma involved in these histories and am sympathetic, but having distorted historical "facts" yelled at you for 1.5 hours is a slog. However, worth it for Paul, the fascinating murals and memorials, and a snapshot of contemporary views.
