Enlightening and shared real life experiences - This tour was a great enlightening experience, where you get a perspective of history and real life lived experience alongside it. Our guide Gerard had a significant amount to share, some old photos, lived stories and experiences over the past decades as well as a view of the future.

First time in Belfast - Our taxi driver was very knowledgeable and give the perspective from both sides, the area is very itself is smaller than you think. Have an open mind as the area has completely changed it’s all new house’s so you have to maybe use some imagination. Very good tour.

Must do in Belfast - thanks J! - Must do in Belfast. If you’re visiting do it early in your trip. Jarlath (not sure of spelling sorry!) was the best. Lots of history and personal connections to that history. Picked up at our hotel and drove through different areas of Belfast explaining context, history, murals, etc aided by photos and video clips. Recommend you educate yourself on the troubles / Irish history beforehand to get the most out of it. Thanks J! Stay a cheeky c!!!

Fantastic experience - Ricky was an excellent guide through the history of the Troubles in Belfast. Great storyteller who combined a first rate knowledge of history with personal experiences. We spent almost 3 weeks traveling around Europe and this was one of the biggest highlights of our trip. Would highly recommend to anybody visiting Belfast.

Excellent and informative - This tour is worth the money! Ricky was amazing. As a proper Irish historian and someone with lived experience, we left with a much deeper understanding of the city and of the effect of the British presence in Ireland over the last 800 years. This was the highlight of our whole trip.

Broad perspective of The Troubles - We had a great tour with Ricky, who gave us a broad perspective of The troubles from early years and up til now. We would absolutely recommend him and Black cab taxi tours to others. Learning about the past is important to keep peace in the future.
