I learnt so much. - Gerrard was an excellent tour guide. His historical knowledge was vast. He related his own personal experiences and family history to political and historical events which really bought the tour alive. He gave us an extra hour and it was obviously a topic he felt passionate about. I learnt so much. Thank you

Compelling, impactful, eye opener, emotional, a must-see tour of the Troubles - This tour was the most impactful tour we have taken in our visit to Ireland. The tour guide is an owner and a native of Belfast who lived through the actual years of the Troubles. His family has paid a tremendous price for freedom from the Brits Gerard is exceptionally articulate and passionate about the history of Belfast. Also his vehicle is very comfortable and spotlessly clean , plus it is a Mercedes van and so comfortable. We are a 3 generation family travelling throughout Ireland and we all found this tour to be so worthwhile. We all recommend it highly to everyone visiting Belfast. These people know the real price of freedom
