Over 2 hours and 30 minutes, our local expert guides will take you on a journey back in time through the city centre of Belfast. You will discover how 'the Troubles' started, visit the locations where some of the most important events occurred, and learn about the path to reconciliation and eventually peace (and the challenges the future may hold). You will discover the realities of growing up and living your life during the conflict, and how it touched everyone. The tour is factual and historically accurate to ensure it is unbiased, the guides are conflict historians, who also weave their own stories into their tours to bring history to life, transporting you back to the Belfast of the 1970s and giving you a unique understanding of the recent past. The tour starts each day at 10.30am.

Cần Quan Tâm
Belfast City Hall
In the grounds of Belfast City Hall your guide will introduce you to the tour and also give an introduction to the history of the Troubles. The introduction sets the scene for the rest of the tour, explaining the centuries old relationships between the British and the Irish and how and why the Troubles started in the late 1960s.
Today Belfast's main shopping street may look like any other British or Irish city, but it hides a troubled past. Your guide will explain the story behind a bomb attack on a nightclub here in 1971, the tragic events which followed and the introduction of what became known as the 'Ring Of Steel'.

James and DC Tours 5 STARS Not to be missed

5.00First James is the most knowledgeable, impartial and thoughtful tour guide ever. I would easily pay double the price for this informative walking history of the Troubles which goes even further back to set the framework for the 70s through today. James is a history expert but importantly grew up in Belfast and is raising his own family there now. Naming the victims known and expanding the grace to those unnamed but surely victimized is an emotional touch that stays with me still. James is neutral and I hope representative of the future culture of this vibrant exciting city. Do not go to Belfast without this tour booked!

5.00Many thanks to Chris fror a very informative and unbiased talk and tour. With only 7 in the group and with the earpiece connected to Chris we didn't miss any of the facts and stories.This is a must do if you are visiting the city and are interested in the history of the 60's 70's & 80's. The tour is at a gentle pace all on flat ground. Each stop covered an incident during the Troubles.

5.00We toured with Dr. Mylie (PhD). What a stroke of luck! Her thesis was about “the troubles” and you could tell. She covered the subject matter from all angles and was extremely knowledgeable. You could tell that the events were personal to her which really gave us a better appreciation of the severity and made it real not just a story.
