Full description

You'll gain a wealth of knowledge from someone who was born and reared and still lives in the community where the tour takes place, 17 years of experience giving the tours. I am 1 of 5 tour guides in the whole of Belfast that can say this. You will experience both sides of the community where the conflict took place, an unbiased tour and lots of colorful murals that depict the struggles along the way, where you can sign the famous peace wall and you'll have plenty of photo opportunities. This tour is a great experience for the whole family and will take you back in time right up to the present day. Tour is 90 minutes of history, learning and plenty of "craic" (laughter) along the way.

Top notch!

Everyone in our family group of 11 agrees that this tour was not only the best tour we’ve been on but that it was the highlight of our trip! Everything was great, from easy pick up at our hotel to drop off at our hotel. The kindness, education and enthusiasm of our guides was simply outstanding. Our guides actually live in the area and so you get firsthand knowledge from people who know the history. Do yourself a favor and take this tour!!

A highly recommended tour with strong messages

A very interesting flash back in the city's painful history. Diarmaid is an excellent guide as he was raised in the community and has to share many stories. It is a highly recommended tour with a strong political and societal dimension.

Great history ride from 1st person view

We can’t thank Diarmaid enough for the sights and history he presented during our ride. He spoke from the heart because he and his family still live in the area where the Troubles happened. You’ll get first hand stories from him about how the Troubles affected his family. If you visit Dublin, make sure you ask for him.
