Three hours well spent - Steve shared a remarkable story over three hours of walking. Incredibly complicated history of conflict. All for what?

100% recommend - great tour! - This is a must if you’re visiting Belfast. Arthur is equal parts entertaining and informative. You can tell he loves what he does, and his personal anecdotes about the time period make the tour that much richer. I would highly recommend you take this tour!

Steve was wonderful! - Over the three hour tour, Steve synthesised the very long and complex history of Northern Ireland in a way that was easy to understand, engaging and honest. Would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Belfast, I left the tour with such a better understanding of the city.

Fantastic, something to remember - Very interesting and balanced view on ireland’s situation/history for the right price. Length of tour was good showing not only past but also present. Something we will never forget.

Fantastic informative walking tour - I cannot recommend this walking tour enough! A first time visitor to Belfast with a group of uni friends in our 50’s so have all grown up seeing this on the news. What a really informative tour , going to areas that i would not have felt confident to visit on our own. Steve was so knowledgable and imparted this to us at a level that we could all understand , giving us a real insight into what it was like to live in Belfast during the troubles and how peace was brought about. Would recommend without a doubt!

Superb! - Despite the relentless rain, this was a proper eye opening tour. Our guide Arthur really knows his stuff and keeps the whole tour interesting, amusing and thought provoking. It had to be the wettest day of the year but no-one of the 20 of us gave up early and Arthur kept us interested right till the end. Thanks Arthur! Highly recommended
