“Our tour with Tony was wonderful. While I had been to Belfast several times before, I knew my husband would appreciate a political mural tour with a Belfast native. Tony was thoughtful, articulate, and so very informed. He did a great job explaining the history of the Troubles, its impact on the modern realm, and his personal connections - we were so touched and moved by everything he taught us. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast for the first, second, third, whatever time - it is so important to keep these stories alive for the next generation.”

He was truly amazing in sharing so much inside knowledge and showing us both sides of the conflict. We were able to visit both neighborhoods and to see the murals. I absolutely recommend!”
