This tour of Belfast with a black taxi driver who lived through the civil rights clash of The Troubles allows you to learn loads more about the city's complicated history than you would traveling on your own. Sit back in rapt attention to your driver's narration, as you visit the famous Belfast murals on Falls Road and Shankill Road, painted by ex-prisoners on both sides of the conflict.

Hear four versions of the city's history: the British version, the Republican version, the Loyalist version, and the truth according to someone who lived through it. Listening to your guide's narrative helps you make sense of a tangled history that is complicated and difficult to understand for visitors. You'll also see photos and videos depicting the neighborhoods visited on the tour as they were at that time.

Peace Wall

Belfast's Peace Walls, erected during the Troubles in the late 1960s, are striking symbols of Northern Ireland's complex history. These towering barriers, adorned with vivid murals and poignant graffiti, were initially built to separate Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods, aiming to reduce sectarian violence. Today, they stretch across several miles, with gates that still close nightly in some areas. While the walls reflect a turbulent past, they also represent resilience and the ongoing journey towards peace. Guided tours offer deep insights into Belfast's history, the stories behind the murals, and the community's efforts to foster reconciliation and unity

Divis

Divis Flats, a significant landmark in West Belfast, offers a poignant glimpse into the city's turbulent history during the Troubles. Built in the late 1960s, these high-rise flats quickly became a hotspot for sectarian violence and civil unrest. The area was predominantly Catholic and faced intense conflict with British security forces. At the heart of Divis Flats was a British Army base, established on the rooftop of the tallest building. Known as "Fort Apache," it provided a strategic vantage point but also became a symbol of surveillance and tension. The presence of the army within a residential complex intensified hostilities, leading to numerous confrontations and a lasting impact on the local community. Today, Divis Flats stand as a testament to the resilience of its residents. Guided tours offer a compelling narrative of life during the Troubles, showcasing personal stories, historical events, and the area's transformation towards peace.

By far the best tour I’ve been on in the UK. Very informative and will help me write an important paper about it. My guide was actually shot during the Troubles, gave an equal and balanced view of both sides of the conflict, and showed me and talked to me about a lot of things the UK government doesn’t want the general international community to know. This is an essential tour for those who respect history or are involved in modern politics.
Educational and Insightful

This was a very thorough and engaging tour. My guide was great, and we got out several times to look at various things related to The Troubles. He did a good job explaining the conflict for someone completely unfamiliar with the history with no bias. I would highly suggest it. Bonus points for picking me up in front of my hotel.
Great history lesson

Sean Mc was a great tour guide. We got picked up from our hotel bang on time and brought around the local sights and murals. Sean was very informative and an impartial story teller. Would recommend, thank you.

Sean Mc was an incredible tour guide. He gave us full insight into the historical and present contexts of each of the sites we visited, and integrated all the information so seamlessly with a few snippets of his own experiences growing up in Belfast during the troubles. Most importantly, he was very respectful of both perspectives. We highly recommend Sean Mc!

Our driver, Gerald, told the story in a way we’d never heard. His personal experiences and those of his family and friends made the history so real. Visiting the various historical murals, streets and neighborhoods with his guidance gave them the context and relevance we’d have missed otherwise. We’d have had no idea what we were seeing. He sparked a lasting interest in learning more about this city and its violent struggles. You’ve not visited Belfast if you haven’t opened your mind to its past.
What a tour of the peace wall
