Itinerario
Historia de la zona. Comenzamos en 1690, cuando el Rey Guillermo III llegó a Irlanda para derrotar al Rey Jaime II en la famosa Batalla de Boyne. Luego habrá una explicación sobre los problemas recientes, que comenzaron en 1969 y finalizaron cuando se firmó el acuerdo de paz en 1998. Usted será guiado a través del corazón de la caminata lealista por el área, donde su guía le explicará los murales de pared leales y lo que representan. Tendrá la oportunidad de tomar sus propias fotografías de los murales loyalalist.
Los muros de la paz fueron diseñados para separar a las poblaciones católicas (republicanas) y protestantes (lealistas). Las primeras "líneas de paz" se erigieron, luego del estallido de la Guerra, también conocido como "Los Problemas" de 1969. Fueron construidas como estructuras temporales, destinadas a durar sólo seis meses. Debido a su naturaleza efectiva, se construyeron más alto, más largo y se hicieron permanentes. Hoy en día, las paredes están adornadas con arte y mensajes de esperanza de los turistas.
Visite la famosa carretera de Falls, donde se formó el lugar de nacimiento del IRA provisional. Cada sección de este camino y su mural político se explicarán en detalle y las razones por las que existe. La siguiente parada es la oficina de prensa de Sinn Fein, donde se encuentra el mural más famoso del mundo, el mural de Bobby Sands. Escuchará sobre la historia de la huelga de hambre irlandesa en la prisión H Blocks en 1981.

Excellent experience so most of the wonderful murals the memorial Gardens our Driver Ricky was fabulous took us all around both sides of the walls throughthe gates and into both communities very educational. We knew a lot about it going in and this just fine tuned what we had thought we knew and some extra that we didn’t know.
Steve was an excellent guide. Very informative tour on the troubles in Belfast. Good balance between past and present day.
What an amazing morning we spent with Gerard, really learned a lot firsthand from a local who lived through the troubles. Can't recommend enough. I will tell anyone I know back home that may be coming to belfast to reach out. The whole family said it was the highlight of the city.
Our guide, Jimmy, did a great job helping us understand the conflict both past and present. Highly recommend this tour for those interested in the political situation in Belfast
The driver didn’t show up and the company didn’t take proper responsibility or was offering another arrangement. We found a different company that was keen to help and we took a tour with them.
Our driver was excellent. He started off by showing us where a bullet pierced his leg, killed his best friend, wife, and baby. This grabbed our attention. But he didn’t dwell on it. He kept it very objective, illustrating that the violence on both sides was terrible and many innocent people died for a peace that is still very precarious to this day. When I got to sign my name to the peace wall I was move to tears.
Thanks so much for your feedback Julie we’re really glad you enjoyed the tour.
Brenden’s tour was informative and exciting! He was lovely, and he definitely knows his history! He answered all of our questions along the way.
Thanks so much for your feedback Jessica we’re really glad you enjoyed the tour. We will make sure to pass your feedback onto Brendan!
George was our guide. Punctual, personally knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. He drove us around in his air conditioned van bringing to life the history of “ the troubles” with stories and personal anecdotes. He answered questions and we learned a lot from his personal insights. Thank you George and I did go ahead and watch the docuseries on Disney “ say nothing” I would highly recommend this tour to any visitor to Belfast.
Thanks so much for your feedback Rica we’re really glad you enjoyed the tour. We will make sure to pass your feedback onto George!
Me and my dad had the absolute privilege of having Brendan as our black cab tour guide. If I could give a 20 star rating I absolutely would! Brendan was fantastic! My dad is very poorly and going to Belfast was on his bucket list. Brendan went above and beyond to make our tour extra special. His care for my dad was truly heart warming. His knowledge and experiences that he shared with us really helped us have a greater understanding of the hardship and strength of the people of Belfast and their rich yet troubled history. It meant a lot to me to take my dad here and Brendan exceeded my expectation more than I can even explain. He even gave my dad his own personal rosemary beads at the end of the tour and took us to a cathedral to light candles, which I’m pretty sure was an extra special gesture from him. Brendan, I can’t thank you enough for making our trip so special. I can’t put into words how grateful I am. You are a beautiful person. Thank you.
Friendly and informative guide
