Do it.

Our driver Vic was very informative and gave us a taste of what it was like to live through the troubles. He was passionate and also quite witty on occasion. We learnt a lot and would recommend it. There were plenty of stops of interest...Ulster museum itself is worth a visit, but we didn't have time to do everything we wanted, although we used the 2 day offer.

Take a bus and get the gist!

Katherine, our first bus guide, was sensational! Right mix of informative and funny, blended with her own experience. The other guides were very good too. The bus tour itself has plenty of options for all ages. Well worth the money. Highly recommend!

Very informative bus ride

Very informative. The bus took us from City Hall to Victoria Square providing key information and it lasted 1 hour and a half. It cost 20 pounds each for an adult. And the bus was very nice! Would 100% recommend!
