Review of Belfast’s 2-hour taxi tour of Peace Walls, Troubles murals, Clonard Monastery, Bombay Street, and Shankill Road.

“By far the best tour I’ve been on in the UK. Very informative and will help me write an important paper about it. My guide was actually shot during the Troubles, gave an equal and balanced view of both sides of the conflict, and showed me and talked to me about a lot of things the UK government doesn’t want the general international community to know. This is an essential tour for those who respect history or are involved in modern politics.”

Our only issue was that we had to contact the company to find out why they didn't turn up. There appeared to be an issue with the booking but it was cleared straight away and Brian picked us up.”
