IN-DEPTH 3 HOUR POLITICAL MURAL HISTORY TOUR Every city has it’s shopping and coffee culture but Belfast city has a unique past after coming out of 30 years of conflict.Your guides are the original drivers who had to transport their communities through the bullets and bombs of THE TROUBLES and have their lives at risk every time they seat in their black cabs.

The North of Ireland has become famous for the murals painted in almost every area of the country . These pictures of IRA ,UVF murals are often flashed around the world on news bulletins or used as a backdrop when interviewing people. They often depict the history and political views of both traditions and are a way of marking territory. These wall paintings often look intimidating but they have become as much of a tourist attraction as many of the regular attractions within Belfast and beyond.

Brenden was an amazing guide. He made me and my friends feel very comfortable, answered all our questions, and gave a very enlightening and balanced view of the troubles. Perhaps the best tour any of us have ever taken!

Our driver Damien was excellent. Funny, witty and had great knowledge of Belfast. Did not initially think of doing a tour - so glad we did! As a wheelchair user I was treated as equal to all other passengers - unusual in this day and age!
Great information about the history of Belfast!

This tour was included with our Wild Rover Tour, so we were touring for about an 1hr 30mins, but we were still able to learn many about the history of Belfast from Pat, who had experienced much of the history. He explained the conflicts within Belfast in the past and drove us around the city as he gave us such information. My family very much enjoyed this tour, and Pat was such a kind and wise guy!
Amazing, 10/10, a must-do!
