Shankill Road
Next on the tour is the visit to an area of Belfast City known as the Shankill. During the "Troubles" the Shankill was a centre of loyalist paramilitary activity, where the modern Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defence Association (UDA) had its genesis. Loyalist paramilitary groups pledging allegiance to the British monarchy and to maintaining the partitioned 6 counties of Ireland known as Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. Similar to the Falls area the Shankill is adorned with huge murals celebrating historical events, honouring people from the past some of whom from the local community. At all stops during the, in total, 90 minute tour our guests have ample opportunity to capture amazing images of the world’s largest outdoor art gallery. There will be lots out time spent out of the cab, the group size is so small the tour will be a very personalised experience. Your guide has personal stories and folklore to share.

5.00Great bus, driving, and tour guide. Music was a little load but that’s on me for not asking to turn it down. Having a driver and a your guide made seating when we picked up so much better. Families actually got to sit together views were amazing, we could go to a Dunluce castle because of road construction which was a bummer but we still got some scenic shots of it.

5.00The tour was a lot of fun. The Giant Causeway was absolutely beautiful. Dave our tour guide and Christian our driver made our experience amazing. They made us feel welcome, comfortable and engaged throughout the day. Dave was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and made sure that we were involved in the process of what was the whole tour experience. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

5.00From booking the tour to our wonderful tour guide and driver, it all was wonderful. Our tour guide took great care of us during the trip by providing clear instructions and looking over the group to ensure we were all present and OK. He is very knowledgable on the tour sites as well as history and from the places most of us came from. He is an asset to the experience. The black cab tour in Belfast was interesting and fascinating. Hearing about the reality of the troubling times, not too long ago, from our driver gave it a very personal touch and brought it to life for us. I look forward to our next adventure with Viator.
Great time

5.00Great tour guides really make a tour and Brendan and Mick our driver were great. Interesting commentary, good humour and lots of stories to break up a long trip. First stop was the Black Cab tour. A real eye opener, next up Dunluce Castle - it was wet and windy but dramatic and worth it. Then on to Giants Causeway. Still wet and windy - check out the Irish Coffee at the Nook Pub before you head down. The causeway itself is a natural wonder, and if you take the red track back up the hill the view back towards the sea is glorious
Excellent option to explore Northern Ireland

5.00So first off, Una, our tour guide, was amazing! Very friendly, insightful, and communicative. Her knowledge of Northern Ireland and its history, particularly regarding the times known as "The Troubles" made this tour all the more informative and interesting. Bus driver was Marco, he was also great. The reason why I would suggest this tour is because it saves you from having to do an entire trip up into Northern Ireland. You see so much and learn so much in just that one day (at least in my opinion). Wonderful option to get out of Dublin and do something different.
Interesting day!

5.00This was a nice mix of things to see. Beautiful scenery and living history. Just the right amount of stops to keep my blood moving 😊. Darren was the guide of this full day. He gave lots of info to make the travel in between seem shorter and assisted with people’s needs..
Great day tour and educational experience
