  • The best by far

    I thought I had some knowledge of The Troubles but this experience opened my eyes and educated me more than I could I ever have contemplated. My wife and I have been undertaking day tours on our travels for many years and this is by far, the most compelling, informative and emotional experience we have yet encountered. The tour was made even more brilliant by Joe (our guide) whose personal lived experiences of a lifetime in Belfast and having grown up and borne witness to the The Troubles in a very personal way, made it so incredibly authentic and real. May nothing but good fortune, good health and good times be what the future holds for Joe. If you only ever choose to do one tour on a holiday, then this should be the one you choose. Our stay in Belfast was too short for a city that has a story to tell on every corner and every doorstep.

    Excellent tour around Belfast where we got to see some historical murals and sites. Barry knows lots about Irish history and we’re lucky to have gotten to spend some time with him. Money well spent and you won’t regret taking this tour. TIOCFAIDH ÁR LÁ 🇮🇪

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Barry yesterday. I booked this tour because I wanted to get a republican viewpoint of the history of “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland as much of the media coverage I grew up with had a more loyalist view. Barry was awesome and related first-hand accounts of growing up in Belfast. He took us to both sides of the Peace Wall, multiple remembrance gardens, and the Irish Republican History Museum. Barry is an excellent historian and my family and I appreciated his candor. He even followed up with a list of books, movies, and websites to check out for more information. Overall a fantastic tour!

    This tour was easily the most educational, entertaining and rewarding in recent memory and likely ever. Barry demonstrated a broad and deep knowledge of ancient to postmodern history of Ireland. He made the content relatable and he adjusted our destinations on the fly multiple times depending on the direction our conversation took us. I cannot recommend this experience enough, it's worth every penny. I would travel to Belfast again just so my family and friends could experience this tour

    A fantastic few hours spent with our tour guide Barry McCann, i have knowledge of the history and troubles but still learnt a lot during the trip, unlike some other tours we got to listen to the history from the early centuries, see all the famous landmarks including the Falls Road, Shankill, Milltown Cemetery, museum, Bobby Sands memorial and so much more, and at the end of the tour kindly dropped us at Kelly's Cellar bar which we spent the late afternoon drinking Guinness and listening to music... a great day and a great tour guide and tour... Thank you

  • Understanding the IRA Troubles Conflict

    Highlight of our trip. If you are not your average tourist and would like to delve deep into the IRA troubles conflict for a deeper understanding - then this tour is for you. It goes beyond the typical black taxi tour and gives a much richer political understanding of both sides of the conflict. It brings empathy to the issues that impact their communities still today. We had many moments of shock and awe as the story unfolded through Paula's perspective and gave us a renewed interest in the many parallels still happening in our world today (Israel and Palistine). Strongly recommend.

  • Amazing and insightful
