Belfast Politisk rundtur - Konfliktiga berättelser Walking Tour
Beskrivning
Möjligheten att uppleva en rundtur i livet. Förstå Belfasts oroliga historia med en ärligt framlagd politisk turné av republikanska och loyalistiska ex-politiska fångar. Upptäck en sida av Belfast som du inte hittar i turistböckerna. Vi bjuder in dig att gå på gatorna i staden på båda sidor av fredsväggen med de män och kvinnor som har tjänstgjort i fängelser i Nordirland för att stå upp för deras övertygelser. Republikanska och lojalistiska fångar kommer att dela sina egna personliga historier och effekterna på deras samhällen och förklara väggmålningarna som berättar lokalhistoria och kultur i varje område. Den enda turnén för att ge dig två riktigt motsatta synpunkter på "The Troubles" genom gatorna i West Belfast. En del av turerna går ut på att arbeta med lokala barn i tvärvetenskapliga samhällsprojekt.

The conflicting stories tour is an amazing opportunity to hear both sides of the conflict from guides who were part of The Troubles. They not only provided a high level overview of the history, but could provide block by block first person experiences about themselves, friends, and family. This three hour tour focuses more on the history of the conflict than it does on the murals. You’re probably better off booking a cab tour for those. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has read extensively about the history of Belfast and Northern Ireland.
As we live in the UK & remember very well the troubles of N.I. it was good seeing the areas that we saw consistently in the news. It was extremely interesting to hear about this era from both sides of the preach wall.
Excellent, informative tour. Explanations from both sides of the divide.
The 2 Guides shared their personal experiences of the Troubles as well as answering many questions from the group. It was very interesting to hear both sides from people who were directly involved. We came away knowing much more about the situation and the issues there still are.
If you want to know about the history do this tour. We had 2 guides both were excellent. Very passionate about their country.
We really enjoyed this political tour of West Belfast. It provided valuable insight into the history and perspectives of both the nationalist/republican and loyalist communities, and our guides were knowledgeable and engaging throughout. It was fascinating to hear from guides who had lived through the conflict and were willing to share their personal experiences and stories with us. I especially enjoyed the part of the tour in the nationalist/Irish area and could easily have spent more time there, simply because I found it so interesting and our guide Paul did such a great job. This is simply a reflection of my personal interest rather than a criticism of the loyalist section, which was also informative and important for understanding the broader context. Overall, it was valuable to hear both perspectives, and to me the tour provided a mostly balanced introduction to Belfast's complex history. Both guides were respectful about the other guide and their stories. The guide also warned us that an Orange Order march would be taking place after the tour. Seeing it in person, immediately after everything we'd learned, was quite a surreal experience. It wasn't part of the tour itself, but it really highlighted how the area's history continues to be part of daily life. I found it a bit unsettling to be honest. Overall, I'd still highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Excellent walking tour and first hand education from people who lived through this conflict and try to make a positive impact for their community now. I wanted to learn as much as I could from both sides to help me understand the situation and I feel this tour helped me immensely. Highly recommended to any who want to learn and see for themselves what's happening in Belfast.
Absolutely fantastic insight into the history by guides who actually lived through the troubles. Definitely recommend this tour. Thank you to both guides. Well explained!!
Both tour guides were excellent. One pulled us one way for 90 minutes; then the other pulled us back the other way for 90 minutes! We learned so much, a lot of eye opening facts and stories, all highly informative. Thoroughly absorbing; even though it ran just over three hours, I found myself not wanting it to end! Superb tour, one of the best.
Fantastic tour where getting the two perspectives is an excellent way to protray the troubles in Northern Ireland. I learned so much on this tour and was so surprised by the physical and political divides that still exist. The tour guides were so informative and told their stories with a mix of genuine emotion and humour, the three hours flew by. We could have stayed on, on both sides, to listen to the stories and to discuss the various viewpoints. A must if you are in anyway interested in learning about the history of Northern Ireland.
