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.
Best part of our trip to Belfast. Jack was excellent . Very knowledgeable of all the past and current issues. Highly recommend booking with him.
Jack showed us around , he was very friendly , great experience. Thank you would recommend to friends and family.
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.
This was a great tour. Jack was a fabulous tour guide and we recommend him highly!!!
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!
Very interesting tour! Jack, our guide, was knowledgeable and shared insights about the history and present day situation. He was objective, informative, and entertaining.

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!
