Itinéraire
Vous verrez les peintures murales de l'ouest de Belfast, du mur de la paix et de quelques jardins commémoratifs.
Votre visite de Belfast Murals commence dans le quartier de Shankill Road à Belfast qui est (protestant / britannique), où votre chauffeur de taxi noir vous expliquera un historique détaillé de la région. Nous commençons en 1690, lorsque Guillaume d'orange est arrivé en Irlande pour vaincre le roi Jacques le 2 à la célèbre bataille de la Boyne. Il y aura ensuite une explication sur les troubles récents, qui ont commencé en 1969 et ont pris fin avec la signature de l'accord de paix en 1998. Vous ferez une petite promenade dans la région, où votre chauffeur de taxi noir vous expliquera les peintures murales loyalistes que Belfast possède dans la région et ce qu'elles représentent. Vous aurez la possibilité de prendre vos propres photographies des peintures murales de Belfast.
Les murs de la paix ont été conçus pour séparer les populations catholiques (nationalistes) et protestantes (unionistes) de Belfast. Les premières «lignes de paix» ont été érigées, à la suite de la flambée de violence en 1969 en Irlande du Nord. Ils ont été construits comme des structures temporaires, censées durer seulement six mois. En raison de leur nature efficace, ils ont été construits plus haut, plus longtemps, et sont devenus permanents et sont toujours ici aujourd'hui. Les murs de la paix sont ornés d'art et de messages d'espoir des touristes.
Vous visiterez le jardin commémoratif des martyrs de Clonard dans la rue Bombay dans la visite en taxi noir. Bombay Street à Belfast est l'endroit où certains disent que les troubles modernes ont commencé lorsque les catholiques ont été brûlés hors de leurs maisons. C'est également là que l'IRA provisoire a été formée. Chaque section de ce jardin sera expliquée en détail et les raisons de son existence. La prochaine étape de la visite sera le bureau de presse du Sinn Fein, qui est le site de l'une des peintures murales les plus emblématiques de Falls Road de la peinture murale de Bobby Sands. Vous entendrez parler de l'histoire de Bobby Sands et de la grève de la faim irlandaise dans la prison du Labyrinthe en 1981.
La dernière étape sera le Mur international, où vous verrez une variété de peintures murales différentes à Belfast. Les peintures murales ont un thème général de «mise en lumière de l’oppression» – des émeutes raciales en Amérique en 1969 à l’actualité en Palestine.

This was easily one of the best tours I've ever done! Caolan was such an amazing guide (if there were any way to choose a driver I would reccommend him 100% of the time)! With my first time travelling solo I was a bit nervous, but he made me feel very comfortable and safe, and was such a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. His passion for learning and teaching others is visibly strong and I can't wait to get started on the "homework" he gave me of different podcasts and videos for extra research! Thanks so much!
We were met at the location on time. 4 of us on the tour. Danny L was informative, cheeky and passionate about the history of Belfast from his viewpoint. We were shown areas that we did not know about and given films and literature to increase our knowledge if we wished. I would do the tour again and I think you could get different information with the variety of drivers.
We booked in advance to be picked up from the Titanic Experience and our guide Brian met us promptly. His knowledge was incredible, and he paced the information and the tour brilliantly. We learned so much about Belfast and the political history. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting.
Amazing experience. I’ve been before with this company and knew when I was revisiting Belfast with a different group I had to book again. Value for money to explore the history of Belfast and the troubles. Trip was not rushed and we were given time at each stopping point to take a picture or read. Kieran was our guide and he was very friendly but very knowledgeable. He did not take just one side, but told us the events from both sides.
This is a must-do tour of Belfast. We did the 90 minute tour and learned so much about the past struggles and the ongoing political tensions. It was such an eye-opener and so well explained by our driver Kieran. The tour was recommended to us by friends who had done it and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast.
Fantastic historical tour with people who lived through the Troubles. Stevie was so engaging, full of information, willing to answer all of our questions and so personable. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a fantastic experience with Cab Tours Belfast, and a big part of that was our driver, Danny. It was just my wife and me, which made the tour feel very personal. Danny gave us a firsthand look at Belfast’s history and the Troubles, explaining things in a way that was easy to understand and often funny. He also brought along recent news articles and videos to help explain some of the history and connect it to what is happening today. By the end of the 90 minute tour, we had learned so much new about Belfast, the Troubles, and the more recent history of Northern Ireland. It was more than just driving around and seeing the sights. Danny helped us understand the stories and history behind the places we were visiting. We really enjoyed the experience and could not have asked for a better driver. I would definitely recommend Cabs Tours Belfast, and if you get Danny as your driver, you are in good hands.
Excellent tour with Danny. He described the history of the Troubles honestly and answered all our questions. Very knowledgeable and informative! Highly recommend.
It was excellent. Jordy was an excellent guide and allowed enough time at all spots and answered all questions. We were a little unsure we were in the right spot at first as we were really early. If you get there early and see no evidence you are in the right spot, don’t worry, the cabs will eventually start to arrive. It was a great complement to other tours we went on to Derry as well. Highly recommend. Jordy also gave us good advice on what to do I. The evening and seemed genuinely interested in our travels in Ireland and our family back home.
A great experience with our guide, Kieran! Kieran was very knowledgeable about “The Troubles” and how they have affected Belfast then and now. He gave a very balanced picture and was forthright with all of our questions. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get a good picture of the history of “The Troubles”
