Best history walking tour ever

The tour guide James was beyond FANTASTIC! He told us more about Irish history and the troubles than we expected. It was educational, enlightening and he was able to recreate many of the significant events during the troubles. One of the best walking tours we have ever had and we are two seniors who have gone on many many walking tours. The audio equipments operated flawlessly which allowed everyone to hear the information clearly. It would be the one thing we would say no one should skip when visiting Belfast.

Wonderful tour, book or loose out on knowledge you need for clarity

James took his time to explain the different abbreviation so that we could understand the tour, I'm 61yrs of age and could relate to information shared from what I could recall from the news as a teenager and also Say nothing also helped. His breadth of knowledge was deep and interesting and he has a way of including you and explaining without making you feel inadequate, I could have spent the day listening to his explanations and theories behind past and future possibilities. Thank you for your time, I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to further their understanding of the horrors that occurred over three decades, book or miss out on an experience that your soul needs.
