A very informative and interesting personal insight into the Troubles and subsequent peace. The driver was punctual and drove well.

We had an excellent experience, probably the best experience we had during our time in both Belfast and Dublin. Brendan was an excellent tour guide and made the tour very interesting and meaningful

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

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. Matt & Lorna

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.

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.

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.

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".

There are several so called Black Taxi tours of Belfast the one I can highly recommend is Blacktaxitours.com and their tel # is 07702060573 book direct as the original booking I made though Tripadvisor never got through and I had to rebook direct for the following day . Ask to be taken on the tour by Brendan . He is a guy who had lived through " the troubles " and gives a totally impartial detailed explanation of everything past and present. I am 73 yrs old and really though I knew everything there was to know about the political and daily life of Belfast and very quickly realized that my understanding and perspective was completely wrong. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast young or old.
