Jimmy was a great guide with loads of insight, would recommend to everyone
Private tour with my husband. We enjoyed the experience and thought the guide was very informative.
The tour was fantastic. Our guide Tony was very informative and very thorough, answering any question we had, sharing his personal experiences, beliefs, and vision for the future of Ireland. He was also able to add in some humour to break up the heavy topic. We had a group of 5 and were very comfortable for the whole tour. Pickup and dropoff were very easy, and the location was very easy to find.
Very informative and balanced.
Our tour guide was fantastic. He offered great iinformation into the history of Belfast with personal experiences & connections which made it very insightful!
Tony was an absolutely excellent tour guide. We were late arriving and Tony accommodated us no problem at all. The tour was completely eye-opening and we would’ve listened to Tony for hours. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Our tour with Jimmy was absolutely amazing. It gave an in depth and insightful understanding of the political landscape that brought Belfast to where it is today. Can’t recommend enough. Jimmy shared his lived experience growing up in these troubled times. We now have a new perspective on the history of the region. Mal & Chris
