Brilliant company - Our flight was cancelled last minute and we couldn’t get to Belfast. We had to cancel our trip on the morning and got in contact to tell them. They refunded the deposit immediately which wasn’t expected by us but was really appreciated as we were already gutted we couldn’t get there.
I had been in this tour before and it was excellent which is why I rebooked with them this time. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. They are easily contactable and really helpful.

Best history lesson - It was such a nice way to learn Irish history coming from a younger generation that didn’t know that much about the troubles up the north

Belfast black cab tour - Brendan was our driver. We did the 2 hour murals tour. Brendan was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us his unique perspective on his experiences of the "troubles". Plenty of opportunities for photos, and we learned so much. Well worth the money. You get to see places in Belfast you would never normally see. Well worth it, great value for money. Would recommend the tour and Brendan in particular.

Somber and informative - It was a somber and informative tour. I had a passing knowledge of the stife between the Protestants and Catholics, so it was good learning more about the subject. Our tour guide was also able to speak from his own direct experience from the Troubles.
The guide and tour company were very flexible with their scheduling. I definitely recommend the tour.

Recommended Expirence. - A fellow traveller recommended the tour and we were not disappointed. We expected to see the famous murals and take a few picture which we did. But the tour guide explained the history (without it being a lecture or boring).
We would recommend this tour to others.

Cecil, black cab drive supreme. - Our taxi driver and guide was Cecil. Cecil was an amazing professional and a super good person. He managed to explain the history behind the wall in a way that allowed us to have an honest discussion about a very complex and complicated situation. Many thanks to Cecil for making this an informative and personal tour of events that we all need to learn from. We highly recommend this tour to develop an understanding of community conflict, and Cecil is an excellent guide. In the words of my husband Oddur, "Cecil is the man for this tour".

Eddie's Taxi tour was marvelous - We arranged this through the concierge at the Titanic Hotel. It is the best 70 quid you will spend in Belfast . Eddie provided a stimulating, straightforward and unvarnished commentary of the troubles. He answered every question and did not hold back on areas of sensitivity. Loved it. There are a ton of black cab tours. Eddies is hard to beat.
