Republican and Loyalist ex-prisoners will share their own personal stories and the effects on their communities and explain the murals that tell the local history and culture of each area.

Very interesting and informative tour, spoken from the heart, from both sides of the wall. The speakers from IRA and UDF expressed a commitment to peace, after giving a personal account of the terrible atrocities that took place historically. I was left with the impression that wounds are starting to heal, the peace wall is symbolic of this. Excellent tour.
A perfect alternative for those not interested in automobile based tours.

Simple exceptional tour from those who lived through (and were part of) the troubles. Also unlike the cab tours that had been recommended to me many times, this tour doesn't rely on polluting automobiles. Robert on the fall street side, in particular, was exceptional. Both gave the real life perspective of horrible events as they experienced them. While the stories were conflicting in many ways, it is heartening to hear the consensus from both sides that the pain inflicted was so severe that they would prefer to disagree but live in peace.
Great peace project

Robert was absolutely amazing- properly informed on the history and the struggles of all the people in tbe North of Ireland. His half of the talk championed messages of hope and solidarity really needed in this current climate. Thoroughly enjoyed
An unforgettable experience

Unfortunately due to time constraints I could only attend the first half of this tour. But the 90mins with Paedar Whelan as our guide was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on (and I have been on over thirty different walking tours in the last 15 years). Paedar is the perfect guide. He spent 16 years as a political prisoner and is so knowledgeable about the history of Ireland. He knew Bobby Sands. He is also hilarious. Go on this tour, you will be glad you did. Thank you Paedar!

This was such a unique and fascinating experience. The two guides were knowledgeable and gave good insights into all sides of the conflict from their direct experience. Although booked through Yellow Umbrella, the tour was actually executed by a well-known group in Belfast providing political tours, Coiste Political Tours, who work with great guides and are very experienced in this work.

This was a fascinating experience, being able to hear both sides of the conflict was very sobering and at times challenging. A must do for anyone who wants to understand the history of Northern Ireland. Peadar and Jake were excellent guides.

If you are in Belfast and want some context as to where you are, this tour is a must. Robert is so engaging. A great way to spend an afternoon and a great way to get your mind moving about the struggle in Northern Ireland.

The guides explained their experience and the history of the troubles in a way that was both informative and meaningful. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning about the troubles.
Worth the 3 hours tour heard Both Sides: 2 sides w/ 2 different memories

Very educational walking tour with both sides of the Wall views. And the views are slightly different due to casualties of innocent on both sides. Catholics/IRA vs Protestant/UVA w/British Support. Unique offenses in Wall Art/Murals on both sides too. Worth the 3 hour walk to hear Both Sides!
