Itinerario
storia della zona. Cominciamo nel 1690, quando il re Guglielmo III arrivò in Irlanda per sconfiggere King James II nella famosa battaglia di The Boyne. Ci sarà poi una spiegazione sui recenti problemi, iniziata nel 1969 e conclusa con la firma dell'accordo di pace nel 1998. Sarai guidato attraverso il cuore della passeggiata lealista in giro per la zona, dove la tua guida spiegherà i murales della parete lealista e ciò che ritraggono. Avrai l'opportunità di scattare le tue fotografie dei murales lealisti.
Le mura di pace furono progettate per separare le popolazioni cattolica (repubblicana) e protestante (lealista). Le prime "linee di pace" furono erette, in seguito allo scoppio della Guerra, noto anche come "The Troubles" del 1969. Sono stati costruiti come strutture temporanee, destinate a durare solo sei mesi. A causa della loro natura efficace, furono costruiti più in alto, più lunghi e resi permanenti. Oggi le pareti sono adornate con arte e messaggi di speranza dai turisti.
Visitate la famosa strada delle cascate dove si formò l'IRA provvisorio. Ogni sezione di questa strada e il suo murale politico saranno spiegati in dettaglio e le ragioni per cui esiste. La prossima fermata è l'ufficio stampa dello Sinn Fein, che è il sito del murale più famoso al mondo sul murale di Bobby Sands. Sentirai parlare della storia dello sciopero della fame irlandese nella prigione di H Blocks nel 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
