Reiseverlauf
Falls Road : Gehen Sie entlang der berühmten Falls Road, dem Herzen der irischen nationalistischen Gemeinschaft, und besuchen Sie meine alte Schule, St. Comgall’s, wo die Ereignisse von 1969 den Beginn der Unruhen markierten. Während wir zusammen erkunden, werde ich persönliche Erinnerungen und Geschichten teilen, die Belfasts Geschichte auf eine Weise lebendig machen, die nur ein Einheimischer kann.
International Wall : Entdecken Sie eine der größten Open-Air-Kunstgalerien der Welt, wo international bekannte Wandmalereien die Geschichten der Belfaster Gemeinden, politische Geschichte, Widerstandsfähigkeit und Hoffnungen für die Zukunft erzählen. Sie sehen auch ein Wandbild mit meinem eigenen Foto, das an Belfasts erstes irisches Kulturfestival in Nordirland erinnert.
Shankill Road : Durch die berühmten Peace Gates begeben wir uns auf die benachbarte Shankill Road, um die Geschichte, Traditionen und Identität der protestantischen und unionistischen Gemeinschaft zu erkunden. Besuchen Sie mächtige loyalistische Wandmalereien, Gedenkgärten und hören Sie die Geschichten beider Gemeinschaften mit Respekt, Ausgewogenheit und Verständnis.
Katholische und protestantische Gemeinden : Während der gesamten Tour teile ich einen ehrlichen und unparteiischen Einblick in das Leben während der Unruhen und erkläre, wie sowohl katholische als auch protestantische Gemeinden den Konflikt erlebten und wie das Karfreitagsabkommen von 1998 das friedliche Belfast, das wir heute kennen, mitgestaltete.
Bobby Sands Mural : Die Tour endet am weltberühmten Bobby Sands Mural und besucht gleichzeitig versteckte Straßen, Gedenkstätten und Orte, die die Widerstandsfähigkeit, Stärke und den Geist Belfasts und seiner Menschen offenbaren.

John was a very friendly local guide who shared his own experiences growing up in Belfast while also painting a fuller picture of the history and current politics of Belfast.
Thank you for the lovely review! John was delighted that you enjoyed the tour and found the mix of personal stories, history, and politics in Belfast both insightful and engaging. TucksTours ☘️
Brandon was outstanding! Authentic, sincere and genuinely felt the struggle that still exists today. Absolutely highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much — really appreciate your kind words and recommendation! TucksTours
We really enjoyed our tour with Brandon. He lived through the Troubles and had really insightful information. We enjoyed his passion and learned a lot.
Thanks for your great review—delighted you enjoyed the tour with Brendan and found it so insightful. Really appreciate it!
We were so fortunate to have Thomas as our guide. He was incredibly well informed, with a huge depth of knowledge and very passionate about the subject and the city of which he is a superb ambassador! Thank you Thomas.
Thank you for your lovely review—it was an absolute pleasure to be your guide. I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and your time in Belfast!
The Black Taxi tour with our driver Eamon was so informative and eye opening. Eamon explained the history of how the political division between Irish Republicans for a free Ireland and loyalists for remaining part of the UK evolved into the conflict between the Protestants and the Catholics. We visited the murals, the memorial gardens, and the divided neighborhoods of Belfast. We stopped at the Peace Wall and wrote messages. And learned how the history of violence is still impacting the city today. It certainly gave a new perspective to what I thought I knew.
Thanks for your lovely review—great to hear you had such an informative and eye opening experience with Eamon. Really appreciate it!
This is a nice tour of a few of the key points of the Troubles in West Belfast. You'll see the Loyalist Shankhill Road and some of their murals and memorials, the Nationalist Falls Road and their murals and memorials, and the Peace Wall that still separates these communities to this day. The guide is a regular working-class guy who grew up in one of the contested neighborhoods at the time and can describe the experience of being forced out of your home and feeling like a second-class citizen because of the family you were born into.
Thank you for your review! I’m pleased you found the tour informative and that the stories and places gave you a real sense of Belfast’s history & culture. My goal is always to provide visitors with an authentic perspective while also showing how our city has moved forward. Best regards, TucksTours
Excellent tour around west Belfast with Thomas who, having grown up there, gave a real insight to the history of the city and its troubles. He had a real energy and enthusiasm that made for a great experience, he even took us around his old primary school which is now a community centre. If you want local knowledge, this is the tour to book.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you on the tour. I’m delighted you enjoyed the insight into West Belfast and appreciated the local stories – including the stop at my old primary school! Sharing that personal connection really brings the history to life. Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation. You’re always welcome back to Belfast!

Had a very informative and enjoyable tour round belfast with someone that grew up during the time of the troubles. Cannot highly reccommend our tour guide enough. He was great and told both sides equally. Was picked up from our hotel in a lovely black car and shown most of the sights round shankhill and the falls. Ignore the 1 star review as my wife and i couldnt have hoped for a better tour and expierence.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad you and your wife both enjoyed the tour and appreciated the balanced perspective. It was a pleasure showing you around West Belfast – you’re very welcome back anytime! Best regards, Tuck’s Tours Béal Feirste ☘️
Accepted our reservation, but the night before informed me he had another commitment . He passed us on to another driver but apparently gave the driver the wrong day. We were left stranded at our meeting spot. Tried calling operator with no answer. Finally able to reach trip advisor and they dispatched a driver. Supposed to be a Black Cab but was a standard sedan. Fortunately the sub driver was very good but late and did not have as much time as expected.
Hi my apologies for the late reply, and thank you for your feedback. When you booked with me, Im proud to be a 5-star rated TripAdvisor tour guide. My goal has always been to give every guest the best possible experience in Ireland. As my business has grown, I’ve built a small team of trusted, local Belfast guides to help meet demand. To manage this more efficiently, we’ve recently moved all bookings to a new system called Bókun. Unfortunately, on your booking, date your tour was still processed through the old system, which caused a bit of confusion — and for that, I sincerely apologise. Your tour was then assigned to one of our experienced local drivers — someone who shares the same deep knowledge and passion for Belfast’s history. Regarding the vehicle: During the conflict, there were over 400 black taxis operating across Belfast, especially along the Falls and Shankill roads. These iconic routes became a central part of the story of the conflict. Today, only around 30 of the original black taxis remain, and many tours now use modern vehicles such as Mercedes Vitos for comfort, reliability, and accessibility — while still delivering the full cultures experience. I’m sorry you didn’t get one of the older-style taxis, but I want to reassure you that you still received a genuine, locally guided Black Taxi Tour, covering all the key sites and stories that make Belfast such a unique and powerful place to visit. Thank you again for supporting a locally run, Belfast-based business, and I truly hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back in the future. Warm regards, Thomas Tuck’s Tours Béal Feirste
Robert is absolutely amazing and very informative regarding the troubles. His personal story and experience makes this well worth it. He took pictures and videos of us engaging on the tour and sent it to us. He sent documentaries regarding the troubles.
Hi Brooke, Thanks so much for your review! We’re thrilled that Robert’s personal stories and insights into the Troubles added so much to your tour. We’re glad he could capture some great moments and send additional documentaries your way. Hope to welcome you back to Belfast soon! Warm regards, Thomas Tuck’s Tours Béal Feirste
