A must do while in Belfast.
I am so glad we did this tour. We learned a lot from Paul. Hearing the stories from a local and actually going through the neighbourhoods was very moving.

Black Taxi Tour in Belfast
An incredibly powerful and informative tour. We learned so much about the political history and the “Troubles” and our tour guide was very knowledgeable, honest, and straightforward which we appreciated. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great guide who was...
Great guide who was really knowledgeable about the history of the troubles. We saw everything and came away a little amazed that there was still a large wall with gates segregating Catholics from Protestants.

Wonderful tour
Loved this tour. James was very knowledgeable and the tour was very informative. Gave us a clearer picture of the history of Northern Ireland and inspired me to learn more.
J
Learned a lot more about...
Learned a lot more about the Troubles in the past and current, but do NOT sit in the back of the van, as you cannot hear the driver when the AC is operational

Black Cab Tour
This tour is more about history than seeing landmarks. It’s personal, moving, and humbling. Well worth our time.

Amazing Belfast tour!
Great tour on the history of Belfast, it took in lots of tourist highlights like murals and the cathedral but also covered the troubles very well.

The Irish 'Troubles' and more.
The main thrust of this tour is conflict within Ireland, and Paul is a very knowledgeable guide. For those not familiar with this part of Irish history, it would be helpful for them to familiarize themselves a bit before the tour, as they then would be better prepared to assimilate the information and ask good questions. Paul was considerate and helpful throughout.
