Tommy is the best!!! - Tommy, the taxi driver, has a great personality and is clearly very knowledgable in all respects of the history of the troubles. He gave us a detailed insight of the trials and tribulations, with a balanced view from all sides of the divide. We would very strongly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the history of Northern Ireland, and Belfast in particular. Thanks for a great tour Tommy!!

Important Tour - Sean, was an amazing guide on this historical and educational tour. He made sure we had a great experience and made the trip very enjoyable. The amount of time for this tour was not only efficient, but necessary to get depth and understanding. The price was also well worth it.

Great tour. - Very interesting and our cab driver was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions. We had done a shorter black cab tour before but this one was more indepth. Unfortunately I can't remember the drivers name.

Fantastic Tour. Very knowledgable driver - Fantastic tour. Well worth the money. Very knowledgable driver who knew the troubles and the history of Ireland inside out. If you have any pre conceived ideas put them to one side and prepare to be educated.
