We loved our tour with Don. He was deeply knowledgeable, reverent and a great storyteller. We were so happy to be able to ask any question and receive a thoughtful response. Also the tour was quite balanced presenting the history of Northern Ireland and especially the troubles in a way that felt charitable but honest to both sides. A real highlight of our whole Irish trip. Thanks Don!

Not a Black Cab, but some interesting sights
We specifically chose this tour because it is listed as having both Protestant and Catholic owners, so we thought it would have the best chance of being as unbiased as possible. While our guide made an effort to be unbiased, it was clear which side he supported. It is difficult for someone who has lived through the Troubles to do this, or for anyone really, so that may have been a tall order. What this tour does do is take you to several key places on both sides and allow you time to get out and take photos or questions, so is a good starting point if you don't know anything about what happened in Belfast.
I was disappointed that the vehicle was not actually a "Black Cab" as that was part of the experience we wanted and when this was mentioned to the guide, he said that their company is "Cab tours", not Black Cab tours. While this is technically true, the website does mention Black Cab tour several times, and has photos of Black cabs, so I felt this was a bit misleading.
While this is often billed as one of the MUST do things in Belfast, unless you really want to see the gardens and monuments, you could probably get the overall cheaper on the Hop on/off bus.
There was good communication about changes to the pickup due to a marathon in the city, although there were several cabs parked there and it was not immediately obvious which one we should go to. This could be improved by a sign or perhaps letting us know the licence plate of the cab beforehand. The guide was able to drop us at the Crumlin Jail afterwards which was nice. He was friendly and had supporting documents which helped explain the tour.

A very meaningful tour
This tour led by Isaac was the highlight of our trip. He was very unbiased and answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. The fact that he was our contemporary and lived in Belfast throughout the Troubles and now taught us more than any reading our documentary could. I highly recommend this tour and especially Isaac.

Highly Recommend!!
Highly recommend!! Glen gave my husband and I a fantastic tour today. We did the 90 minute Mural and Peace Wall tour. We appreciated so much how he presented both sides of of the conflict and his first hand knowledge and experience. He made us feel very welcome, encouraged questions and pictures. We left with some dinner recommendations which we really appreciated as we had a great meal after. Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So informative. I learned a lot!
We booked this tour on our recent 5 day stay in Belfast. I did not know much about the history of the unrest in Belfast. The pick up location was downtown and easy to walk to from our hotel. It was just us in the car with our driver, Eamon. For about 90 minutes we were driven around the city and given all of the history of the conflicts, shown the wall and gates, which still stand to this day. We would get out of the taxi from time to time to hear more and take photos. Our driver grew up in Belfast and was able to recount different things from his experiences. I am not knowledgeable about the history of this situation and I learned so much. I am so glad we booked this tour.

A City Transformed
We had a lovely afternoon with Sean our driver who was extremely knowledgeable about his home city. We all learned a lot and were amazed at how quickly this beautiful city had transformed into a sought after destination. Sean stopped at the Peace Wall and we were able to sign a personal message.
Great afternoon thanks Sean

History in Murals
Excellent review of the history and fighting in Northern Ireland. Stevie, our guide, was very knowledgeable and patient when we asked him multiple questions. Definitely a must do!

A Must Do!
Our guide was Stevie and we really like the tour with him. It was an all around great experience with a lot of information but it was never boring. Stevie told the history of the city with a neutral point of view, which is really good. We liked his sense of humour but still he could smile more often😉(that's an insider) . Greetings to him from Angie, Luca, Johanna and Netti
