Sean did a great job on our black cab tour of mixing history and facts with a first-person view of the massive impact The Troubles have had on those living in Northern Ireland. Being able to witness the aftermath and ongoing effects from this bit of history firsthand was a really cool experience. Highly recommend!
Unmissable to know the history and political current affairs of Belfast. Our excellent Ricky guide, it Best of the tour
It was 2 hours door to door which means it’s too quick! I wanted more because Harry was so interesting and the history and sights deserved more time. Regardless, a great tour and worth the time and money!
This joined the dots about growing up on the neighbouring island and hearing and seeing news about the terrible and tragic events unfolding in Belfast. Full on and visceral at times. We knew the names of so many of the streets and locations but didn’t quite get the same detail transmitted to us through media in the 70s, 80s & 90s.
Thanks so much for your feedback Martin we’re really glad you enjoyed the tour.

Ricky was so knowledgeable and personable he made the experience incredibly educational and poignant at the same time. Being from London, I came with pre conceived views of the troubles, in a short 2 hour tours, he was able to educate me enough to entirely change my political views on the topic. Highly recommend.

Jim was our driver. He was super-very knowledgeable and friendly. Throughout the ride, he provided many opportunities for pictures and even parked the cab twice, climbed in back, and sat with us to tell the story of the troubles. We left with a much greater appreciation of the history of Northern Ireland.
Thank you
