Description
Our Belfast Mural Tour is a private tour that is the perfect tour for those that wish to travel in privacy. But also in luxury. This private tour shows and tells the stories of Belfasts' history along with the breath-taking truths that held the city back for so many years. The tour is hosted in one of our Luxury Mercedes vehicles to create an experience in the best atmosphere possible! Belfast City was once one of the most divided cities in Europe especially from the 60's through to the early 2000's. With small changes in society there has been more inclusion from both sides and a cultural shift to a more relaxed view on the politics that once governed Belfasts' streets. The Belfast Mural Tour will bring you back in time to the era of differences. Your local guide will tell the stories and bring you to the areas that would often be seen as crime hotspots! These tours are filled with incredible insights and anecdotal stories from guides that lived in the very areas you visit!

On the Falls Road there are multiple sets of murals that you will see. At each mural you'll have a few minutes where the guide will talk you through its story, you'll be able to take pictures and ask any questions necessary. There are memorial gardens and estates off the Falls Road that will also be included within the estimated time duration for this road.
You will also have the opportunity to travel through the Shankill estates, stopping at the murals, hearing the stories and taking pictures.
You make a brief stop at the Crumlin Road Gaol and Courthouse to hear of the horror stories that haunt the Gaol to this very day. The Gaol and Courthouse are parallel to each-other and have some chilling history!
The peace wall has been the main division within Belfast for the best part of a century. Initially erected in the late 1920's the peace walls separate the Unionist and Nationalist communities. The walls stretching up to 21 miles are mostly located within Belfast and on our tour we various intersections where you are told of the unfolding events that happened during the 1970's and furthermore into the early 2000's.

Steve’s private tour of Belfast
Excellent private tour.. one of the best I’ve been on! So informative, so interesting; I felt Steve told an unbiased story of the troubles in Belfast and the suffering for all involved on both sides! His sense of humour made us smile too! I would highly recommend Steve’s tours ! Thanks Steve for your time, your knowledge of history and your personal accounts… not forgetting the drinks and nibbles too.. you know how to spoil your customers. We will be back and will be calling you again!

Excellent driver and tour
We were picked at the Cruise port in Belfast and delivered to our hotel in Dublin. Along the way, we stopped in Donaghadee for a Hope Street tour and a Belfast Wall short tour. Chris did a great job driving and conducting the tours. He was very knowledgeable, informative and personable. Definitely would recommend Chris for any tour needs.

Stephen simply the best
We used Stephen on Uber for our airport transfer and also the Belfast City Mural Tour. What can we say? Stephen was fantastic, so informative. He was great with our 12 year old granddaughter, making serious, dark stories interesting for her. He answered all our questions with confidence. We booked him for our airport return trip and left feeling we had made a friend. Will keep his details for a return visit in the future and will certainly recommend him to anyone going to Belfast/ NI.
