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.

A great experience

5.00The Black Cab tour in Belfast, Dunluce Castle & the coast of Northern Ireland, especially Giants Causeway, was an incredible experience! The beauty of the area was breathtaking. The Black Cab tour was tremendously informative because it filled in the gaps of my knowledge about “The Troubles”. Our guide shared firsthand experiences about this time period & the current state of things now. My husband & I thought this was an excellent opportunity to learn from someone who knows what it was like and how things are still evolving into a more positive way of life. Highly recommend doing this tour!
A fantastic day seeing...

5.00The Black Cab Tour was great. Our driver was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. He answered all our questions and went to great lengths to find a pen so that we could sign the peace wall. It was the highlight of the day. I wasn't that impressed with Dunlace Castle as it was mostly ruins and the Giant's Causeway while interesting did not wow me.
A Beautiful Day!!!

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. In Belfast, I opted for the Titanic Museum experience, which was wonderful, and I'm sure I would have loved the Black Cab experience had I chosen to see more of the city. The visit to Dunluce Castle was very interesting as it overlooks the Northern Atlantic. I loved visiting the Giant Causeway with its wild scenery and many trails. Because we had beautiful weather, we had an extra stop along the coast since we could see Scotland across the water. I also want to give kudos to our awesome tour guide "David" who is a great storyteller, and to our bus driver "Carl" who got us around safely and efficiently. David gave us wonderful suggestions for things to do and restaurants to visit in and around Dublin as well.
Wonderfully done!

5.00It was a great tour from start to finish. Easy to meet up. Remember, if you have to park to scout out parking before you go. There are paid parking lots in the area.
Very informative!

5.00Loved seeing the countryside of Ireland, the Black cab tour was fascinating and gave insight into the Irish history and politics in the region. Really enjoyed the tour guide, he was informative without being overly chatty but came around at end of tour to see if we had any questions or we wanted any recommendations in the city while we visiting

5.00A wonderful, quick way to see another side of Ireland. Your guide, David, was extremely friendly, entertaining, and a wonderful story teller. We got lucky to have beautiful weather, and they made sure we had the best experience given the circumstances.
