Great allround tour in the Troubles

Absolute wonderful experience with our guide James. Very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get to know the places where some of the major bombings happened and when you want to get a neutral perspective on the Troubles.

A great Belfast experience

This was the best guided tour I have ever been on. Mylie was knowledgeable, responsive, empathetic and humorous when appropriate. She set out her stall to be impartial, and was impressively so. I learned a massive amount.

The best tour, going back for sure!

Mylie was one of the greatest tour guides i had the opportunity to hear, she deeply knows the history (1st time having a tour guide with so much knowledge and academic credentials), but what i loved the most is how she humanized everything. Telling history is hard, telling living history as she did, is quite impressive and an art.

Walking Tour - Belfast

This was a truly wonderful walking tour. Mylie was an exceptional guide - knowledgeable, thought provoking and informative. She kept us totally captivated for the entire tour. The headphones are brilliant in a busy city tour.

A Riveting Experience

What an enlightening, fascinating tour with Roisin! The time flew by as we walked, stopping quite often to consider the personal impact of people's lives during the not-so-long ago time of troubles and how the city is moving forward. The book of photos helped bring the stories to life, and naming and telling the stories of many of the victims on both sides was especially touching. This tour has really stuck with us, even three weeks later.
