Way to tour the city! - Didn’t expect this to be my favorite tour on our trip! Gerard our driver showed us the city and had so much information on the city and its history. He made the whole time fun and interesting. This is the company to use .

A must in Belfast - pure class - Absolutely class tour from Gerard. A great mixture of laugh out loud, Belfast humour, compassion for both sides and brutal honesty of the impact and history of the conflict. As someone who has close family connections, affection and (what I thought) was a firm understanding of the north, it really did open my eyes and give me a desire to learn more. Genuinely couldn’t recommend this tour enough and I’m just glad I got the Frank Carson joke!

Great historical tour - Our guide Sean did a great job explaining the history of the troubles and accommodating our group. He offered personal details about growing up in Belfast during the troubles that brought forward the human impact of the conflict. A great 2 hour experience.

A tad disappointing… - We rode with Stephan on our Belfast troubles tour. He was prompt and courteous, and obviously knowledgeable about the subject. However he looked unkempt, and didn’t bother to get out of the taxi on a brisk April morning. When we visited the memorials we tagged along with other tour groups to hear the stories and he waited in the car. Not ideal.
