Traveler reviews
Outstanding Tour
Our tour was outstanding at the Titanic. Wish we had more time. Many facts on building the ship and what caused it to hit the iceberg. Another fact it shows the actual site not only where it was built and launched. We took the black taxi tour in Belfast learned a lot about the Bombing and the IRA. Highly recommend this addition on this tour you will not regret it.
Great trip but longer than described
The Titanic exhibit and Black Cab tour of Belfast are both fantastic and highly recommended. The bus trip us was just OK. Our bus had issues, showed up late and didn’t seem able to go over 50mph so it took a looooong time to get from Dublin up to Belfast. We did stop at an old cemetery and see Celtic ‘High’ Crosses on the way so that made up for the extra time (somewhat). Overall it was an 11.5 hour trip so don’t believe any write up saying it is 6 hours. The Black Cab tour is cash-only so be sure to bring 25 GBP or 30 Euro per person if you want this extension.
Wonderful, informative tour, an easy drive
I highly recommend The Troubles tour– the driver was excellent in presenting both sides of the loyalist/Republic and protestant/Catholic conflict. Depressing that there still is such a divide. I highly appreciated his honesty and historical information. The Titanic experience was truly amazing. There was no fluff involved. It was several floors detailing the shipyard, the building of the Titanic, passengers, survivors, the analysis of what went wrong, etc. It was so well done. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The drive was easy and enjoyable, especially the stop we did. However, I felt the driver tried too hard to entertain us in the van rather than share history and culture for us to know and allow quiet time, too.
High price
High price. The value of the tour in Taxi black is high: 30€ per person! The tour guide could have given more information about Ireland.
Not Quite What We Wabted
The main purpose of our trip from Dublin to Belfast was The Titanic Experience. Unfortunately, we did not get our full allocation of time in the Titanic Museum (only got 1 1/2 hours) before we had to be back for pick up and therefore the experience felt rushed. Disappointing as we would have preferred more time here.
