“The buses were nice but the speakers did not work clearly and were very crackly so hard to understand. Plus one of the driver's English, which we just happened to have twice by chance, was hard to understand. This was unfortunate because the Hop on Hop off bus idea was great to get an overview of the city.”

“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.”
