Belfast Murals & Troubles Taxi Tour: "A 2-Hour Political Journey"
Overview
Pack Up Your Troubles: Political & Murals Taxi Tour
Join me on a personal journey through Belfast and hear the stories behind The Troubles. As a local guide who lived through the conflict, I’ll share my own experiences alongside the history of the people and communities who shaped our city.
We’ll visit both Protestant and Catholic areas, seeing famous political murals, memorials, and the Peace Walls that still divide parts of Belfast today. Along the way, I’ll share some of the personal stories and memories that make these places so meaningful.
I’ll tell you what life was really like during those difficult years, why more than 3,700 people lost their lives, and why the legacy of The Troubles still matters today.
But this tour is about more than conflict. It’s also about peace, change, resilience, and hope.
Come and see Belfast through the eyes of someone who lived it—not just as history, but as a story that is still part of our city today.
