“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 explained Irish history, giving us a better understanding of the Troubles. We were given an up close, sometimes uniquely personal glimpse into what life was like during this time. Ricky lived through this, and it made the experience that much more insightful. We learned so much and he made our trip so much more memorable. I highly recommend Ricky and this incredible tour. Thank you!”
