The “background” of Belfast. - What a fantastic experience! Nice to get to know the “background” of Belfast. We were lucky enough to meet the owner what a knowledge and personal experience this man has to share and he does this with passion. Definitely recommended.

Best Political Tour of Belfast with Real Local Knowledge - Had an amazing private tour with Black Taxi Tours. Brendan was our tour guide and he was excellent. He's a fountain of knowledge, I don't know how he remembers it all! We did the political tour which brought us through both Catholic and Protestant areas as well as the Peace Wall. If you're a fan of the Say Nothing TV series you will see many areas from this series as well as some murals to the real life characters. We mentioned this show to Brendan who was able to give us some local knowledge in regard to this too. Couldn't recommend it more!

Unforgettable Experience - We did the Black Taxi Troubles Tour in Belfast and it was one of the most informative and thought-provoking experiences we have had. Our guide, Ricky, is an Irish historian, and his depth of knowledge truly set this tour apart. Ricky explained the complex history of the Troubles with clarity, balance, and genuine insight. He didn’t just recount dates and events he provided context, personal perspectives, and nuanced explanations that helped us understand the political and social realities behind the murals, peace walls, and neighborhoods we visited. His ability to present such a sensitive subject in an engaging, respectful, and accessible way was very impressive. Beyond his expertise, Ricky was a genuinely kind and approachable person. He welcomed questions, encouraged discussion, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the tour. It never felt rushed, and his passion and intelligence for history was evident from start to finish. If you’re visiting Belfast and want a deeper understanding of its past from someone who truly knows the history, I highly recommend this tour and especially Ricky as your guide. An unforgettable experience.

Informative and fascinating - Brendan our driver and guide for this tour was superb and sets a very high bar for the local tour guide. Such a complex topic with may layers of perspectives to consider, Brendan was able to make the subject accessible and easy to engage with. Brendan helped us to understand and comprehend this fascinating and challenging history in a very enjoyable and highly recommendable 2 hour tour.

Totally eye opening and somewhat emotional experience. - Myself and my 16 year old son were with Black cab on Sat 24th Jan, were picked up at our hotel and from the word go we were on to the troubles.Ricky was our guide/driver and to be very honest he fitted the bill perfectly, nothing rushed and clear on everything, he grew up and experienced the troubles from a very young age and right through to the peace agreement so he's the man for the job if your looking for an educated guide. Dropped back to hotel then,Thanks guys for a very eye opening experience 100% Regards Phil and Alexander.
