Tour of murals and troubles in Belfast

Met Jack outside the Titanic Quarter, he came to meet us so east start..... jack was friendly and full of banter..... told us about the city centre and general Belfast cut chat before we got to the Falls Road and started the tour. Very casual and informative more or a conversation than a prepared speech. For a entertaining, informative and value for money tour.... well worth a booking.. Best of luck in your new venture Jack.

Jack was amazing

Jack was a fantastic guide; he was deeply knowledgeable, very personable, and was open to talking about himself and what it’s been like to live in Belfast. I was sad when the tour was over! The price could easily be doubled, and I’d definitely enjoy a longer tour. This tour is best for anyone who genuinely wants to understand and learn about Belfast. Would do again.

Take this tour!

Jack was a great guide on the Political Mural Tour. He was knowledgeable, informative, and happy to answer any questions we had. We really appreciated how he presented the history in a balanced, unbiased way while giving us the context to better understand everything we were seeing. You could tell he knew the area and cared about sharing its history. We couldn’t recommend him more!

A great tour with a great guide!

Jack was a wonderful guide. We learned so much and highly recommend spending time with him. He has such a grasp of the history of Ireland and he is a really nice person! If we had more time we would love to see more of Belfast with him as our guide. Thank you Jack!
