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.

Absolute Must!

5.00This tour was an incredible way to see so much in one day. It began with a black cab tour through the city, offering a powerful and informative look at the murals and history. We then visited Dunluce Castle, which is absolutely stunning—set dramatically along the cliffs with breathtaking views. The highlight of the day was Giant’s Causeway. It’s truly unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else. The perfectly formed, cylindrical rock columns are almost impossible to comprehend—you really have to see them in person to appreciate how unique they are. A special mention to our driver, Sarah, who made the entire journey feel safe and comfortable, and to David, a true seanchaí (storyteller), who brought the history to life in a way that kept us engaged from start to finish.
We had a great time and learned a lot

5.00ABSOLUTELY recommended. The tour is highly organized, all staff are so professional (shout out Una and our driver Michael), and the full day excursion is well worth the price, if the cost is an issue for you. To have the experience to hear the history of the North of Ireland from people who have lived it is invaluable - you will learn so much about the history on the coach tour as well as in the black cab tour. Not to mention, Giants Causeway is one of the most beautiful places on the planet and you have the opportunity to explore at your leisure. Dunluce Castle visit was short but worth it! All admission fees are included, and recommendations for pubs for lunch were so appreciated. Do this tour!!! You won't regret it.
Highly tecommended!

4.00The trip was very informative. Our guide in the motorcoach was from Belfast and was very knowledgeable about the area. Our Black Taxi driver was also very knowledgeable about the Belfast area unfortunately his Irish accent was so thick we had a difficult time understanding him. Recommended.

5.00This is a great day tour, with plenty of time spent at each location. Can’t remember the name of our guide (she had dark hair) but she was very good and helpful. We did the Black Taxi Tour, with Billy as our driver, and he was very good & informative. Highly recommend

5.00The tour guide (Una) was very nice and knowledgeable. We chose to take the black cab tour in Belfast. Our tour guide for this portion was Pat with the Hat. Pat was also very nice and knowledgeable. We learned alot from his experience living during the time period of the "Troubles." There was plenty of time to enjoy the Causeway and for lunch. The Dunluce Castle iand the Giant's Causeway was very beautiful. Overall, very nice tour and would recommend this tour to anyone!
