Traveler reviews
Belfast black cab tour
Paul was my tour guide and he was brilliant. Super informative and very pleasant fellow. My only slight issue was the cost which as a solo traveler was rather high.
Must do!
Loved it. Really enjoyed Joe, our guide. Very knowledgeable.
Terrifying thought - provoking highly recommended
The guide/driver was incredibly knowledgeable with respect to dates and events and gave an excellent intense tour of the troubled areas and pictures commemorating the troubles in Belfast over the years. I was very fortunate to have a good day, though cold and was able to get out and enjoy views of the various landmarks and street art and murals. Enjoy feels like the wrong word to use when seeing and hearing about this time of strife and inhumanity, but it was certainly fascinating and informative. The back room organisation was immaculate and the driver arrived very precisely on time and delivered me back to a place of my choice. I would highly recommend this thought - provoking tour to anyone visiting Belfast, whether you know about the history or not. My Driver Michael was amazing and spoke from the point of view of someone who has lived through the events himself.
The powerfullest history...
This was a tour given by an articulate and well informed local guy, who grew up in Belfast during the 60s and 70s, knew the history and was well-informed about current issues. He gave both sides of the story, and was able to let the facts speak for themselves. He knows the city very well indeed, and took us to lots of interesting/challenging/sobering murals and monuments. It was at our own pace, and he welcomed and answered all our questions. At the end, we both wrote something on the Peace Wall. So all of that was excellent, but the thing that made it an experience I'll never forget was that he'd lived through it, and he tried to be fair to both sides. It threw light onto Palestine/Israel, the border between India and Pakistan, and every other place in the world where there's contested ground, or where they're living through the aftermath. It brought the whole history of Ireland into clarity. Belfast's a really great city for a break, but spend 2h on this. Bring your 17/18 year old children. You will all learn something!
First hand knowledge-fascinating
Having grown up in the US hearing about The Troubles, this was informative and fascinating to learn what childhood in N Ireland was like during those times.
