Reviews of NI Black Taxi Tours, Belfast black taxi tours

J. C.

The NI Black Taxi Tour is a must for anyone visiting Belfast. Robert, my guide was incredible. I went into the tour knowing a minimal amount about the history. I learned so much. Robert shared the history in a very neutral fashion. You just can't go to Belfast, without experiencing the Black Taxi Tour. Thank you so much for the memorable experience. I will always remember signing the peace wall...what a special moment. I will be recommending you to anyone who travels to Belfast.

L. M.

Robert was an absolute delight! Great commentary, answered an abundance of questions and craic was 90, even took us to Winelodge on the way back. Thanks Robert! Would 100% recommend his tour!

J.

Brilliant tour, we had mark as our guide, he was very interesting and knowledgeable, gave us great insight into past and present times in Belfast, would highly recommend mark for this tour.

S. L.

An excellent tour with Mark as our guide.Our family of five had plenty of questions all of which were answered by the knowledgeable Mark.It was fantastic to see and hear firsthand all about life on the Falls Road and Shankill Road in the past and present day. The tour was superb value for money and a bonus to be collected and dropped off at our hotel.Thank you Mark you provided great insight into life during 'the troubles '.

B. S.

Mark from NI Black Taxi tours gave us a very informative and balanced tour of the areas involved in the troubles in Belfast. Would recommend this tour.

N. B.

Our guide helped us with a place to leave our car (in front of his Mother-in-law's house), which was very kind. He was very knowledgeable and engaging with the history and information he shared. It was informative and also sad to learn about the Troubles. Worth the trip up to Belfast and a good experience.

C. L.

We received a highly professional service from Mark and would highly recommend to any one looking to experience the iconic black taxi tour around Northern Ireland!

R. J.

This is a fantastic tour that I would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Belfast. Mark was excellent - so friendly and impartial and his understanding of Irish history is amazing! Great value for money and a great way to understand this place.

J. B.

Mark was awesome and our tour was fantastic. We knew the murals were important, but getting the entire history and view from both sides was fascinating. We timed it so we could see the gates closed in the evening, which lead to more stories and history on top of what our guide had already described - a definite worthwhile time spent!

J. B.

A very interesting tour and a great way to learn more about Belfast. Mark was very friendly and was more than happy to answer any questions we had. Would recommend to people visiting Belfast.

A. B.

Booked a tour with mark very informative it’s a must if you want to learn a bit about the troubles.mark has plenty of knowledge and as they say in Belfast good craic it was money well spent really enjoyed the tour we stopped at some of the murals and peace wall felt really safe in marks hands I highly recommend taken a black taxi tour instead of one of the buses as the bus is just scripted I’ve done both tours but have to say the black taxi was 10 times better with mark u get a balanced tour of what it was like for both sides and also his own insight as he grew up threw the troubles and not something out of a book

A. O.

We had the pleasure of having Mark as our tour guide on a political tour and I couldn’t recommend both Mark and the tour itself enough. Mark had a wealth of knowledge which he happily shared with us and was happy to answer any and all questions we had. It really is a testament to his ability as a tour guide that he was able to inject some humour, at appropriate places, during such a serious tour. He also collected us at the agreed upon time and place promptly and offered to drop us off at a place of our choosing. I would happily encourage any visitors to Belfast to avail of a political tour with Mark or any one of his colleagues.

C. H.

Brilliant tour! Extremely knowledgeable and brilliant experience!

C. V.

Great experience , well worth doing ! Enjoyable and informative for our whole family. Would highly recommend

I did this tour with work colleagues who were over visiting. It was fantastic. They gave a very non-biased overview of the history. I would recommend it ten times over.

J. M.

C. L.

N. M.

Worth the trip to Belfast! Powerful and well priced.

E. S.

Really impressed by this service. Our driver ( Kevin ) was extremely friendly and went the extra mile. He gave us an excellent insight into the history and culture of Belfast . A very definite recommendation.

M. O.

Mark was exceptional. If you want a 90 minute history exploration with some impressive physical geography to go with it, at a good price, with a really kind and articulate local chap who is partly telling his own story, Mark is your man. I honestly can't speak highly enough about it and we were so grateful he could accommodate us at short notice. Bless you Mark! Mike, Atalandi and Sara

C. W.

Mark is highly informed and explains everything in a very balanced way. He was punctual and answered all our questions thoughtfully.

S. M.

Our guide Mark was very well informed and afferent a balanced overview of the events In NI during the troubles.

J. C.

Very interesting tours, we got to see some murals, a section of the wall, we stopped by the old courthouse and jail, some Catholic and Protestant quarters, etc. It's an interesting history if you're not familiar with it. The driver was nice, though I feel like it's a bit of a sketchy operation; the taxi wasn't labelled, and at some point we were stopped for 20 minutes while he was going through some history. Still a good tour for 35 pounds, but I feel like there's a lot of room for improvement.

W. t.

A really informative and balanced tour. Mark is great!

R. G.

Travelled with Mark his knowledge of both sides of the divide was excellent his could not have been more accommodating on stopping and explaining the significance of the locations you were at. Would recommend his as your guide

P. a. S.

Very good tour. Informative and very balanced. Well worth doing during your time in Belfast! Would recommend

C. M.

We had a fantastic, informative and highly enjoyable tour with Mark of Belfast’s Protestant and Catholic areas - the Falls and Shankill road - and murals. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about history and gave us lots of fascinating information about how the conflict started centuries ago, and how it evolved right up to today. He took us to all the key areas and showed us incredible murals, memorials and sites. As a history enthusiast, I found him extremely balanced, always giving two sides and helping us understand both perspectives. He also shared a lot of personal stories that brought the conflict alive and helped us to understand the experience of growing up in these parts of Belfast. Our kids (aged 9, 8 and 4) asked non-stop questions which Mark answered with great patience and humour. He is a walking encyclopaedia. I can’t recommend him highly enough - will definitely share his contact details with friends and family. Thank you so much Mark!

B. H.

Great Experience, highly recommended if in Belfast to see the history of both sides of the peace wall Shankill & Falls road

A. G.

Very interesting tour. Mark really knew his stuff. He looked after us especially as we were all feeling very delicate. Really didn't expect it to be so good!

K. M.

There are few things more poignant than having a local talk you through their first-hand experience living through 'The Troubles' in Belfast. From the commemorative murals to the still- standing 5km Peace Wall, our Black Taxi tour was a profound experience.

J. G.

Absolutely brilliant tour

J. F.

Great tour. Excellent value for money Mark, our driver was great.

G. H.

We did a political history tour with NI Black Taxi Tours last weekend. I couldn’t recommend it more, our tour guide Mark knew EVERYTHING there was to know. A true historian.

Absolutely brilliant tour with Mark. He was so knowledgeable and engaging, and we learnt a tonne. We did the political tour which included murals and memorials, the peace wall and the site of the prison. The tour was thought-provoking, chilling and bewildering. Having said that, this is a very considered tour, in no way sensationalising what’s still a traumatic recent experience for many. We left with a real feeling of hope and faith in the future; Remember, Respect, Resolution ❤️ Thanks for a brilliant morning Mark.

T. M.

Very down to earth, nice bloke, balanced information and knew the area very well. Very happy with price and experience.

Very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable

M. R.

Mark, our guide, has encyclopaedic, first hand knowledge of the complex and challenging history of this amazing city. He treads a factual, informed and balanced line and we saw and heard about both sides of the ‘Troubles’ from their early origins to the current day. He paced the tour well and gave us a unique and detailed insight. Although the reality of the content is, at times, very tricky and shocking, he delivers events without drama or judgement. An incredibly thought provoking tour. Mark is a great chap and could not have been more patient at answering our questions. Recommend him unreservedly. The highlight of our visit. Thank you.

w. b. (.

Unbelievable host, Mark could not of treated us any better ..met a friend for life ..top bloke and brilliant tour

C. C.

Excellent tour with Mark. We had guests over from England who also thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about the political history of Northern Ireland and gives an unbiased tour of both communities which is not something all black taxi tours do in Belfast. We cannot recommend NI Black Taxi Tours highly enough for Mark’s knowledge, friendly banter and taking the time to explain everything. He will also take you to see other locations if you request them and is very well priced. We will definitely be using him again when we have friends or family staying in Belfast. Thank you Mark, see you again.

A. K.

We booked Mark on the recommendation from a friend in Dublin - it was a great recommendation. Mark was excellent - gave a thorough history of many of the Troubles - and a very impartial view looking at things from both sides. I would highly recommend this - you will learn some of the history, and it is really interesting - our 12 year old even found it fascinating. Thanks Mark.

F. C.

Fabulous, Take a tour of political Belfast. A great tour with a driver guide who will explain everything about the unionist and republican neighborhoods. Not to be missed.

A great black taxi tour of the murals and peace wall. An excellent guide and our driver Mark was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. The Falls Road and Shankill Road, names from my childhood news reports are so close, the history so long and the divisions so bitter. In Mark's telling trouble often started with kids home from school scrapping across the line and degenerated from there. Hundreds of years of grievance that keeps coming back to the surface. Apparently 50 years ago conversations with people each side of the line suggested the way to make things better was to integrate the schools. 50 years on and still nearly all the schools are segregated. A salutary and fascinating tour. Do it. You will remember it well. Thank you Mark.

M. K.

Mark our tour guide was simply amazing! Very informative and most importantly non-bias. He picked us up in good time after a last minute decision to do the political tour, accommodated the fact we were on a tight schedule for dinner as well but still covered so much and made it light hearted enough for the topics of Northern Ireland’s history. Even questions that we asked about certain aspects that were clearly not part of the tour he covered in great detail. True Northern Irishman who is proud of his wee country but also with moving forward with the times. Pleasure meeting you Mark and thanks again!

T. C.

There are so many black cab tours on the web I wasn’t sure how to choose the best one. Mark had good reviews at a decent price so I went ahead with the booking. Mark was very knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions and has personally experienced the impact of the troubles. I’d recommend this tour for anyone trying to decide between companies. He also picked us up earlier at my request because I was ready earlier than I expected. Thanks, Mark

j. R.

Mark, Thank you so very much for an outstanding tour of Belfast in your Black taxi. Your knowledge was amazing. You made the journey very informative and entertaining for all, including the kids. You kept everyone entertained with your reviting stories! Thanks again

j.

Mark, our taxi driver, was balanced, informative and patient with our questions. A good sense of humour, he was very knowledgeable about the dynamics of the city and the troubles. He was very responsive prior to the tour, and the organisation regarding pick up & drop off was very smooth. 10/10, would recommend.

C. B.

We had a school tour to Belfast with a group of secondary school boys and were so lucky to have had the opportunity to be guided around by Mark, who was highly engaging and well informed, and kept the lads interested for the full duration of the tour. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

S. L.

Our family of 5 had Mark lead us around Belfast for nearly 2 hours. It was a fabulous tour! Mark shared in incredible detail about the history of the area. His knowledge is fabulous. We learned so much and so appreciated his heart for the area. Would HIGLY recommend.

D. G.

We had a fantastic tour of the city of Belfast with Mark , he covered over 400yrs delving into the history of the troubles and how the city has evolved as a whole , Mark has a great attitude and shares his own experiences that should be heard by all. Highly recommended.

R. W.

Brilliant, informative tour! Organised with Mark for 25 of us over from England. Mark was very accommodating and arranged pick up and drop off for our party from different locations in a number of taxis. The drivers were all incredibly knowledgeable and it was a great way to learn the history of the area. Thanks Mark!

A. C.

Highly recommended tour with Mark who was both informative and friendly. Mark gave an honest and unbiased account of Ireland's gritty and turbulent history from the Norman's to the present day. A sobering and hard-hitting living story of behind the scenes Belfast.

N.

Mark's tour was fabulous. He's so knowledgeable and broke down the history of the Troubles well. This is a really good way to see the town/graffiti/monuments/get a history (+ current) lesson etc from the comfort of your own car & tour guide! ( especially on a rainy day!!).

V. M. C.

Mark gave the four of us an excellent political tour of Belfast today. His description of the events in Belfast and the history that led to what happened was comprehensive and balanced. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

C. M.

Booked Ni Black Taxi Tours for a political tour around Belfast , and wow ! what an experience, Mark our tour guide really knew his stuff. His none biased and easy to understand explanation of any questions I had was impressive. Mark even give some of his own recollections on how it was growing up in his area, as he lived in close proximity to the peace wall. I would highly recommend Ni Black Taxi Tours. Very professional and great value for money.

S. O.

Highly reccomend mark for a black taxi tour. We booked mark as we were in belfast for a few days from cork city. Mark was so friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with any questions we had. He picked us up and dropped us back to the hotel we were staying at, I would definitely recommend his service to anyone visiting belfast.

C. D.

We had Mark for our tour and he was absolutely outstanding with a fact based unbiased tour. He was more than happy to answer any questions and share his own experience. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

C. J.

Our guide was Robert and he was an amazing storyteller. Native to here, he shared with us an unvarnished and objective narrative about how NI came to be, and what strides the country is making to heal from the years of hardship. I would recommend anyone visiting Belfast take a Black Taxi tour.

a. o.

We had a fantastic tour with Mark today. It was very informative and would highly recommend it to all.

D. M.

We were a group of 10 lads in Belfast for the weekend and I had been wanting to do a taxi tour for years, but had always been worried about having a biased opinion to one side or the other. I needn't have worried, as Mark was incredibly impartial, friendly and spoke knowledgably and passionately about the troubles as someone who had lived through the worst of it, yet still managed to give a well-balanced and informative view of both sides. For a group of 10 guys on a weekend away to all be engrossed for 2 hours to the extent that we all said we would rather miss the start of an important rugby game than cut short the tour, is testament to Mark's delivery and knowledge. We felt 100% safe walking around and taking pictures underneath some of the most infamous murals on both sides of the wall, and had plenty of time for questions and interaction, no rush at all. Great communication from Mark beforehand and when we got there. I will be bringing the wife back soon for a tour! Cheers, Dom

C. O.

Robert was an amazing guide. The tour was informative, unbiased and incredibly interesting. Would definitely recommend doing this tour to get a great overview of Belfast’s history.

r. l.

Really excellent tour with Robert. Very informative and impartial story of Belfast of the past and present. This tour is a must if you want to get the real story of Belfast. Would highly recommend.

N. C.

What an amazing tour.Couldn’t have asked for a better guide and an all round decent person.Mark is a rare find.I would certainly be recommending this tour to everyone going to Belfast.It is a must.

A. J.

Our tour with Mark was truly fantastic. We learned so much history and about the current political situation and he answered all our questions. Definitely recommend.

A. G.

This political tour was absolutely outstanding. Jim was a gentleman and so knowledgeable of the troubles and the differences on each side. Jim was able to answer all our questions and was completely impartial. 100% reccomend to everyone

D. C.

Excellent, best tour I've ever done. Most reasonable and highest rated official black cab tour. So glad we did this and would do.it again in the future to see new murals.

L. Q.

This is a really interesting way to learn more about the history of Northern Ireland. Mark gave a thoughtful and balanced account of an incredibly complex and emotive situation. Highly recommend.

L. H.

Brilliant tour, Mark was very knowledgeable and great craic, we enjoyed the hour and a half trip. Thank you for dropping us off at Kelly’s cellars too! Great call! 🍺🍺🍻

J. M.

Outstanding tour, Robert was terrific, we learned so much. We’re so glad to have done this. Easy to book and flexible with pick up and drop off spots. Cash only. Thanks for the tour!

D. C.

I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Belfast. It was two hours of really informative history about the sights and politics that have shaped the city over the years. Visiting the areas around Shankill and Falls Road was a real eye opener for me and our party as first time visitors to the city. Four of us went on this tour yesterday morning, including my 16 year old son who enjoys history and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim was our guide, he picked us up at our hotel and straightaway introduced himself and explained what the tour would consist of and where we would be going. Jim was impartial and talked in great detail about both sides of the story, and he was extremely informative and detailed in his explanation of all the sites we visited. We felt a good rapport with Jim who was knowledgeable and interesting. He definitely made the tour worthwhile. I'm very interested in history and would rank the tour up there with one of the best historical tours I've ever been on. Thank you Jim for making the tour a really worthwhile and interesting event.

G. Q.

Excellent tour!. Friends over from London and this was a new experience could not recommend it highly enough. Our guide Mark was so knowledgeable and provided a balanced and factual account of life in Belfast during the troubles. A timely and thought provoking tour where you will learn a lot…… Thanks again!

K. A.

My husband and I did the mural tour of Belfast with Mark yesterday. He was super knowledgeable, professional and kind. He gives you an unbias tour, taking you to important murals and memorials, on both sides of the wall, including signing the peace wall. We learnt so much, and it was super interesting having mark as a guide given he grew up right next to the wall! We booked it really last minute so we appreciated his flexibility too. Thanks so much for a great tour, it definitely was memorable and a highlight. Take care, Krystal & Ariel

N. C.

Have done a lot of these type of tours and have to say that Mark was by far the best we have ever been on. Friendly, extremely informative, quite happy to answer any questions and very generous with his time. Went above and beyond what should be expected. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see the murals and other sights on both sides of the divide with a really impartial and at times quite humorous outlook. Top notch!

L. P.

Great tour, really informative. Definitely knows the area and history well. Able to answer questions and adapt the tour to our interests. Aware and responded to our preferences. Let us take photos. Picked us up and dropped us off to fit in with our plans. Lots of recommendations. Great tour!!!! would recommend.

W. B.

We had a tour with our driver Mark around Belfast. Mark was very responsive when we were arranging the tour, picked us up from our hotel on time, and was very professional. The tour took us around Belfast to see all the murals and points of interest. Mark was incredibly knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. I'd thoroughly recommend NI Black Taxi Tours 🚖😊

S. B.

Excellent tour. Mark very interesting and informative. Done a tour before but took my wife on this one and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well thanks to Mark explaining in a lot more detail. Overall a lovely tour led by a lovely gentleman. Thanks Stuart

G. B.

I took a trip out of interest as a local to see what was going on and being told. I was blown away by the knowledge and friendliness by Mark, who also showed no favouritism to any side, he told me as he saw it. Very punctual and to the point, I checked a lot out of what he told me when I got home and everything checked out 100%. I would definitely recommend Mark as a tour guide as you will get a true reflection of our past. This would be, in my opinion, a great tour for any tourist coming to find out anything about Northern Ireland’s past.

P. H.

We had an excellent time on our tour. Robert, our taxi driver, shared lots of information that helped us understand the history of Belfast and Northern Ireland. He made it very accessible for our three children (ages 12, 10 and 8). We had a very interesting and thought-provoking time.

S. W.

We booked this tour through Mark but the tour itself was given by Robert. We visited Carrick-a-Rede, the Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, the Dark Hedges, and more. Robert was a fantastic tour guide, giving us lots of information and being flexible in where we wanted to stop to take pictures or grab some lunch. We had an amazing day!

A. M.

A fabulous, enjoyable tour experience. Mark was our competent driver and knowledgeable tour guide. Would definitely recommend.

S. I.

Mark was a fantastic tour guide, really informative and friendly. Excellent value and really helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend.

B. N.

Great tour with great insight into questions I asked about the troubles. He also had great knowledge about the murals around Belfast. Would definitely recommend a tour with Mark.

M. A.

We were picked up by Robert and the tour exceeded all expectations. Robert was very knowledgeable and informative; couldn't recommend this tour enough. Thanks for a great afternoon 👍

J. L.

Can highly recommend this company.. their booking process was very easy and good contact throughout…our tour guide Jimmy was very friendly and knowledgeable , he took the time to explain all aspects of the conflicts to us and was very informative and thorough.. all in all , extremely good.

E. G.

Mark was knowledgeable, measured and welcoming. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you for a memorable tour. E

D. L.

Very informative tour, get taken round all the murals and the wall, driver was very knowledgeable. Would recommend to people visiting Belfast

L. B.

This tour is amazing but heart breaking too. I was totally gobsmacked at the size of a rubber bullet (I'd imagined it the size of an ear plug!) Photo attached and one of some barricades to protect houses from attacks. We seen so many murals and heard both sides. Thankfully it's all in the past now, Belfast is the most welcoming city to visit as is the rest of Northern Ireland, wonderful warm and welcoming people. Black Taxi Tour is a must if you're visiting

P. H.

We chose to book NI Black Taxi Tours for a political tour around Belfast today on our last day of a long weekend visit from Merseyside. It was a fantastic experience, made that way by Mark our tour guide. We were so impressed by his knowledge of the political history of this city. He shared this information in an unbiased fashion...brilliant! He was courteous, friendly and professional throughout and his positivity on the future of the city of Belfast was so refreshing to hear. I will be recommending this tour to any friends who visit this beautiful country in the future. Great value too! Keep up the good work Mark. You're a credit to your city.

Great experience. I learned so much about both sides of Belfast which was very intriguing. Mark spoke us through the history of the city as he pointed it out first hand to us. He stopped the car and let us get out so we could take photos of all the murals. 10/10 would recommend. Cheers mate!

Fantastic political and historical tour of Belfast. Our guide Mark took us on a tour of the Belfast of the troubles, through the Falls and Shankill Roads, the Peace Wall, and stopped at many of Belfast's well known murals. A really fantastic tour from a Belfast native. Thoroughly informative and well worth doing. I would highly recommend the tour and Mark as a guide.

I grew up in the troubles in the north in the 80s I now live in Dublin, my kids didnt have a great understanding of the situation in the north. Mark was very good , presented a well rounded view of the troubles and took his time to carefully explain things to us - great family education. 5 star tour for sure

S. 1.

An incredibly powerful “Politics” tour with Mark. Firstly - contact. Booking was easy and Mark called upon arrival at our hotel to let us know he was there. Secondly - the tour itself was incredibly compelling and although date-wise the tour jumped around a little, thematically it flowed wonderfully. For someone who is family with The Troubles from the news, but little else, suddenly seeing how close all the communities are, and the towering “peace walls” in person really brings it all home. Mark stopped and asked if we wanted to take pictures (we didn’t because it was just too powerful, and one of those things you just need to be in the moment for) but he was very considerate of my friend’s hearing difficulties and we stood outside where it was easier for her to hear. The price was very reasonable - just remember to take cash with you as it’s cash only. I’d highly recommend a tour with Mark, and if I was here longer - or come back again - I’d definitely do another.

Mark’s tour was first class and his knowledge was amazing. We had a great couple of hours touring the walls and murals and learned loads!

F. F.

Mark was brilliant when we done our tour yesterday, very informative and at a steady pace so wasn't rushed or anything, and like many have said very non biased and just stuck to the facts. A must do when you go to Belfast and make sure you do it through Mark.

J. N.

Great tour by Mark told me some stuff about Belfast I never knew. Would definitely take another true with him, very nice and easy to get along with.

M. F.

An informative and captivating political tour around Belfast including murals and memorials from both the Shankill and Falls Road areas. Our tour host Mark was excellent and also provided a detailed history of conflict in the city as opposed to talking only about the last troubles which was done in a fair and balanced way.If you are in Belfast you should undertake a tour. It was a highlight of our trip.

I had the pleasure of doing a tour with Mark. From the outset it was clear that Mark was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions we had. We had a member of the party that wasn't able to stand for long periods and Mark was able to accommodate, stowing mobility equipment and conducting talks within the taxi to suit our companion.

B. E.

Mark is a first class guide telling the history of the troubles in Belfast. Would definitely recommend this company and the price was good. Will use again when I come back. Bob Elliott.

Mark was a wonderful tour guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging and gave a powerful recount of the troubles (from both sides). We had a fascinating experience and would thoroughly recommend this insightful tour. Would also like to add that it was very good value for money. I think it is essential for anyone visiting Belfast to be aware of the troubles and having a tour guide who has lived through the troubles was invaluable. Thank you Mark

Excellent tour of Belfast's political past taking in the Falls Road, Shankill Road, the peace wall, the famous murals, and memorial sites. Our guide Mark was extremely knowledgeable, completely impartial and very friendly and even provided us with a marker to write on the peace wall...best thing we did in Belfast!

Mark was an excellent tour guide. We did two tours with NI Black taxi. First one, the political tour, mark had a wealth of information and knowledge to share, as well as his own personal stories about the troubles that he lived through and experienced. We also did the Giants Causeway/Atrim Coast tour. Mark again was very knowledgeable and let us take our time at all the stops. He even went above and beyond, and took us to see some of the game of thrones movie sites that weren’t planned for the day! 5 stars I recommend this company’s tours to anyone visiting Belfast.

C. R.

Great must do tour. Guide was excellent and very informative sharing both sides stories and perspective. Coming from Dublin I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned loads. Can not recommend highly enough. Did the mural tour but would definitely do a more in depth tour one next time.

Went on a tour with Mark on Saturday . Just wanted to say thank you for fitting us in short notice. Mark had a lot of knowledge and made sure he answered any questions we had. Could not recommend enough . The tour was not rushed and allowed us to take as many photos as we wanted and Mark went into detail about the murals he took us to. A brilliant experience. Thanks again Mark.

B. O. C.

Absolutely delighted with our tour with Mark. We had been told by so many people to do the tour, so much so, I was afraid of it being like a film you’ve been told so much about but never lives up to the expectations. But however this tour exceeded our expectations. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Absolute value for money. Would highly recommend.

P. G.

Excellent driver very polite perfect knowledge of history. Thank you very much Mark . Petros from Greece

F. D.

Quick response to our enquiries. Prices are very reasonable. Great tour of both sides of the troubles. Had a great guide Robert, who was unbiased which was good as it allowed us to form our own opinion.

K. O. S.

I booked with Mark for this tour today and I Have to say I was well impressed by his depth of knowledge and his enthusiasm to share it . Mark talks from first hand experience having grown up during the Troubles himself. I have to say he shines a light into the dark places Belfast experienced for many many years. This tour is a ‘must do’ if you want to know what Belfast really is. You won’t be disappointed pointed.
