The two of us did our tour on the 14th of April with Brendan in his very clean , private cab which was set up perfectly for our tour. Brendan arrived early at our hotel for pick up and the tour was absolutely perfect and met all expectations. Brendan’s knowledge was amazing and his balanced candour was greatly appreciated. During the tour we bumped into another guide who told us we were lucky to have booked our tour with the best guide. Our experience left little doubt as to the accuracy of this remark. Book with Brendan and you wont be disappointed. Thanks again Brendan.

We had a fantastic 2-hour guided tour with Brendan in our own private taxi. He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided thoughtful, impartial insights into life before, during, and after “The Troubles” as part of our political tour of Belfast. He also encouraged questions throughout, which made the experience even more engaging. Brendan went above and beyond by offering to take photos for us, helping us capture some great memories from this in-depth and personalised tour. It was absolutely worth the price and is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Belfast.

Ricky was our guide/driver. He provided a very comprehensive and knowledgeable tour and his personal life experience growing up during the troubles made the tour very interesting. It was a relaxed 2 hour tour, never felt rushed and Ricky gladly answered any questions we had. I came away feeling so much more informed about life in Belfast during the troubles but also saddened about all the suffering and killing that happened in Northern Ireland.. Ricky and his mam and family were forced to flee the troubles to Tipperary when he was only 1 year old for a few years. This really struck home to me. Thank you for an incredible experience Ricky. From your grateful Tipperary visitors.

Ricky gave an excellent tour of the Falls and Shankill Road areas, and the up the the peace wall. 5 ⭐ Would highly recommend. Visiting the Crumlin Rd Gaol the day before gave some helpful context , so would recommend that if you’ve time.

We had Ricky as our driver who was knowledgeable and very friendly. He explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. The tour itself was very interesting and lasted a lot longer than expected. Excellent value for money really enjoyed learning about the Troubles ans all that went on in those times
