Just do it - Danny was an amazing guide. His unbiassed information across all sites and lifting knowledge was fantastic. Not afraid to show the gritty reality whilst reflecting the fact that the city has improved. A very eye opening tour. I would highly recommend this tour and Danny as a guide to anyone wanting a view of the Troubles, not generally seen or read of.

Superb, though shocking, tour of segregated Belfast - Martin was a first rate guide; as knowledgeable as they come. If you get him or someone equally knowledgeable, you will learn a lot, maybe more than you want to know!

Fabulous Tour. - This tour is well worth taking to gain an understanding of the history of the Troubles. Kieran my guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Belfast. The Crumlin tour was fascinating and also an integral part of Belfast history. I'd recommend this tour for anyone visiting Belfast

Big Jim knows his stuff - Big Jim gave us an incredible tour all around a large number of iconic and profound sights, often parking up the cab and guiding us personally around various locations. His personal and heartfelt commentary was riveting and it's clear he has great knowledge and immense understanding of the history of the area.

Danny L.: The Ultimate Belfast Guide - Danny L was fantastic! His depth of knowledge about the Troubles and how it continues to shape life in Belfast today was remarkable. As we visited key sites from both sides of the conflict, Danny provided rich historical context while also explaining how the city has worked toward becoming a better place for everyone—though still grappling with challenges that remain. What stood out was his honesty: he didn’t shy away from the harsh realities of the Troubles, acknowledging that while the bombings have ceased, conflict lingers in the form of violence tied to drugs and fractured family structures. At the end of the tour, Danny dropped us off at the old Gaol and generously shared a list of books and films about the Troubles, along with recommendations for restaurants and pubs to experience authentic Irish culture in Belfast. Well done, Danny L.!

Fantastic - Thomas gave us an amazing tour of Belfast. We visited the hanging bridge, giant causeway, distillery, hidden shrubs, and the murals in Belfast. He was very enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable about every detail on our trip. We highly recommend using him on your trip to Belfast.

Fantastic combo tour , great value for money ! - We had Kieran as our driver and he picked us up on time and gave us an amazing experience. He was knowledgeable , friendly, considerate and respectful. There were 4 sisters in our group and we loved every minute. He made the streets come alive and although we grew up in Ireland, he told us a lot that we didn’t know. He even gave us markers to write our message on the Peace Wall. We were sorry when the tour ended at the jail but he gave us things to look out for while we were in there and genuinely wanted us to enjoy the day. Can’t recommend this combo tour highly enough. Our price included dinner and a drink at Cuffs in the jail and was well worth it.

Very,very disappointed. - Very, very ,very disappointed! This was suppose to be a black cab experience…we ended up in an older grey ford van. Not at all the experience that I had paid for on Tripadvisor.Information was fine but the transportation was very disappointing. This tour is definitely not advertised correctly. I feel like I was scammed. Not sure about using Trip Advisor moving forward.
