COMPREHENSIVE 2-HOUR TOUR OF POLITICAL MURALS HISTORY Every metropolis has its retail and café scene, but Belfast has a unique history, emerging from three-decade long conflict. Your tour guides are the original drivers who navigated their communities through the perilous period of THE TROUBLES, risking their lives every time they took their seats in their black taxis.

Northern Ireland is renowned for the murals adorning nearly every corner of the region. These depictions of IRA, UVF murals frequently make global news headlines or serve as backdrops during interviews. They often portray the history and political beliefs of both sides, acting as a method for demarcating territory. While these wall murals may appear menacing, they have become as much of a tourist magnet as many of Belfast’s conventional attractions and beyond.
