An Unforgettable Ride Through History

5.00If you only do one thing in Belfast, make it the Peace Walls Tour and don’t be surprised if you leave with a completely different perspective on the city. Kevin delivered a masterclass on the Ireland/British conflict, the kind of detailed, nuanced insight you won’t find in any guidebook, including eye-opening and controversial history we never would have discovered on our own. His storytelling genuinely moved us. There were moments that stopped us in our tracks, bringing real humanity to events that could easily feel distant or abstract. And through it all, he was laugh-out-loud funny, warm, and genuinely passionate about sharing Belfast’s story honestly and completely. You could tell this wasn’t just a job for him. By the end of the tour, we felt like we actually understood what we were seeing — the murals, the walls, the neighborhoods — in a way that was both humbling and profound. Kevin, you were an absolute gem. Highest possible recommendation; don’t miss this tour!
A really moving and informative tour

5.00This was a fantastic overview of the troubles. Our tour guide, Brendan, shared his personal experiences as he drove us around some key sites in both the Catholic and Protestant areas of Belfast. The IRA memorial and the peace wall were particularly moving. It really deepen my understanding of what went on in Northern Ireland, and what’s still going on?
Surreal, Sad, Social segregation must do your.

5.00Very impressive and interesting. Learned a lot about ‘The troubles’, especially by the taxi driver / guide who has had to deal with it partly from his own experience.
A trip that was 100% worth the time and money

5.00Ricky was just amazing. He was responsive to questions and gave thoughtful answers. He drove us through the whole area of conflict and has clearly put a great deal of thought and work into the presentation. I so appreciated his time an attention. He was also pretty flexible as to the pick up spot when it changed! He had a minivan and it was really comfortable.
