Overview

Experience the history of the Troubles told by a local guide who seen the war through his own eyes.Every city has it’s shopping and coffee culture but Belfast city has a unique past after coming out of 30 years of conflict.

Your guides are the original drivers who had to transport their communities through the bullets and bombs of THE TROUBLES and have their lives at risk every time they seat in their black cabs.

The North of Ireland has become famous for the murals painted in almost every area of the country . These pictures of IRA ,UVF murals are often flashed around the world on news bulletins or used as a backdrop when interviewing people. They were used as a tool to exhibit the history and political views of their community and were used as a method to mark their territory. These wall paintings often look intimidating but they have become as much of a tourist attraction as many of the regular attractions within Belfast and beyond.
