The opportunity to experience a tour of a lifetime.

Understanding Belfast's troubled history with a honestly presented political tour by Republican and Loyalist ex-political prisoners.

Republican and Loyalist ex-prisoners will share their own personal stories and the effects on their communities and explain the murals that tell the local history and culture of each area. The only tour to give you two truly opposing views of 'The Troubles' through the streets of West Belfast.

    Really interesting tour with guides from both sides of the troubles, both of whom had lived through it and had their own personal experiences to share.

    A very powerful afternoon hosted by two guides steeped in their own histories of the conflict which should be a must if you have any interest in understanding the history of the area and as importantly the present day impasse both sides experience .

    Well worth the walk. Guides were informative and it was great to get the conflict given to you from both sides. Media report only their narrative

    Really interesting 3 hour walking tour. 90 mins each with 2 guides who have lived and breathed the troubles and offered their own perspectives. Both guides were friendly and approachable and happy to ask questions. A great way of learning more about recent history

  • Wishing for more information from Unionists/Loyalists side

    The guide who gave us the information regarding The Troubles and the IRA and associated activism was well-informed and interesting, answering questions with concern toward clarity and fairness. The second guide stopped at murals and gardens but did not appear as informed and complained about general Irish propaganda. Was worth the tour for the first half.

    An excellent informative narration of the troubles from both perspectives . It gives you a deeper understanding of why it happened and why oppression of any kind Will ultimately back fire

  • Learned so much

    Learned a lot and really enjoyed it, I apologize I don't remember the name of our nationalist tour guide, but he was great, very friendly and had so much fascinating information to tell us. Our unionist tour guide Sheryl also taught me a lot, it was great to hear her community's perspective since you don't usually hear that as an American, one part of her story had me in tears...Highly recommended!

  • Eye-opening

    The tour was just as it’s described: a walk along both sides of the Peace Wall, guided by former political prisoners. I expected to hear about the Troubles, and how that was all in the past, but the feeling I got from our guides (one more than the other) was that the wounds remain quite raw in some ways. There is no doubt the situation is better now than in the past, with hope for the future, but I honestly found the whole tour quite sad and sobering. Perhaps I was naive going into it. Physically, it was three hours of walking, but the walking was strolling, with a stop for restrooms and drinks along the way.

  • Firstly, it is all...

    Firstly, it is all outdoors so do dress for the weather. It was windy and cold on our tour. This was an excellent experience. Fascinating stories from both sides of Belfast's troubled past. The only room for improvement was the absence of some context-setting at the start where the first guide should really have declared their bias and explained that we would hear the 'other side' too.
