Weekend trip to Belfast - What a fabulous insight into the history of the troubles in Belfast from both sides. Our tour guide Hugh was excellent explaining the history behind the events, taking time to answer any questions we had, and sharing his owe experiences of growing up during the times. It was very moving at times learning about so many lives lost. If you visit the city this trip is a must do activity.
