Itinerario
Vedrai l'arte murale di West Belfast murales il muro della pace e alcuni giardini commemorativi
Il tuo Belfast Murals Tour inizia nella zona di Shankill Road a Belfast che è (protestante / britannico), dove il tuo tassista nero spiegherà una storia dettagliata della zona. Iniziamo nel 1690, quando Guglielmo d'Orange arrivò in Irlanda per sconfiggere Re Giacomo II nella famosa Battaglia del Boyne. Ci sarà poi una spiegazione sui recenti disordini, iniziati nel 1969 e terminati con la firma dell'accordo di pace nel 1998. Farai una breve passeggiata intorno alla zona, dove il tuo tassista nero ti spiegherà i murales lealisti che Belfast ha nella zona e cosa rappresentano. Avrai l'opportunità di scattare le tue fotografie dei murales di Belfast.
I muri di pace furono progettati per separare le popolazioni cattoliche (nazionaliste) e protestanti (unioniste) a Belfast. Le prime “linee di pace” furono erette, dopo lo scoppio delle violenze nel 1969 in Irlanda del Nord. Furono costruite come strutture temporanee, destinate a durare solo sei mesi. Grazie alla loro natura efficace, sono stati costruiti più in alto, più a lungo, e resi permanenti e sono ancora qui oggi. Le pareti della pace sono adornate di arte e messaggi di speranza da parte dei turisti.
Visiterai il giardino Clonard Martyrs Memorial in Bombay Street nel tour in taxi nero. Bombay Street a Belfast è dove alcuni dicono che i problemi moderni sono iniziati quando i cattolici sono stati bruciati fuori dalle loro case. Qui è anche dove è stata formata l'IRA provvisoria. Ogni sezione di questo giardino sarà spiegata in dettaglio e le ragioni per cui esiste. La prossima tappa del tour sarà l'ufficio stampa dello Sinn Fein, che è il sito di uno dei murales più iconici di Falls Road del murale di Bobby Sands. Sentirete parlare della storia di Bobby Sands e dello sciopero della fame irlandese nel carcere di Maze nel 1981.
La tappa finale sarà il Muro Internazionale, dove vedrai una varietà di murales diversi a Belfast. I murales hanno un tema generale di “evidenziare l’oppressione” – dalle rivolte razziali in America nel 1969 agli eventi attuali in Palestina.

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”
