Description
Explore the most turbulent period in Belfast's history. Discover how tensions escalated, leading to outbreaks of violence and terrorism in the 1970s. Witness how Belfast residents pay tribute to their heroes through murals in their neighbourhoods. Visit the areas where everything unfolded: citizen protests, attacks against the civilian population, and confrontations between the IRA and Protestant paramilitary groups. We'll visit significant sites for both sides of the conflict, such as the International Peace Wall and memorials built by each faction. The tour will conclude by examining the peace process in Northern Ireland and the decline of violence in the streets.

Bad experience
The guide did not speak Spanish well. At the meeting point, she did not identify herself with an umbrella or an object to be able to see her. Then a torrential rain started and she continued the walking tour as if nothing happened. Terrible experience with this company.

Tour guide was super...
Tour guide was super helpful and knew a lot about both aspects. We had some tough weather but she kept it positive and we ended up learning a lot.

EXCELLENT 5-HOUR PRIVATE TOUR IN BELFAST
I was with my family and friends (6 people group) in Belfast earlier this week. We decided to hire a private tour with this company and Andrés attended us. Andres is a machine. Great knowledgeable about the history and idiosyncrasies of not only Belfast but Northern Ireland as a whole. As you travel with him you are taking a dive into the streets, characters, legends and stories of this beautiful and long-suffering city. He tells it all hard without becoming tedious. Delve in on request and also gave us some luxury stops in unforgettable pubs and cafes that you would skip if you went on your own. The political tour I recommend so that you know the true spirit of Belfast. Thank you very much Andres and I hope you do very well. Jotace HEC

Belfast political tour essential!
We did the Belfast political tour with the Laura guide and loved it! He explained the history of the conflict in a very clear and close way, and solved all our questions so that we could understand everything without problem. Many thanks also to Andrés, who organized everything excellently and was attentive throughout. Highly recommended!!

Daiji ( David) was really good guide, we really enjoyed the tour although initially it was booked in Spanish-speaking but the guide had an inconvenience and they suggested to us join the English-speaking one. 💯
