5.00Sean was a fascinating tour guide. This tour was a highlight of the trip for my teenage boys. My son is very interested in the history of the Troubles and Sean provided an insiders tour with a ton of information.
Detailed knowledge of our driver, Sean

5.00Sean was really knowledgeable. He provided a balanced overview of the historical and current context of Belfast. He was able to answer all our questions, no matter how daft or complex and when he saw how interested we were he was able to tap into our historical thirst. Sean was an excellent communicator and made us feel valued customers. In addition as a disabled patron, Sean made sure I was able to get into, and out of, his cab safely and he ensured I was comfortable. Thanks to Sean for a great experience.
Great Tour

5.00Tommy, the taxi driver, has a great personality and is clearly very knowledgable in all respects of the history of the troubles. He gave us a detailed insight of the trials and tribulations, with a balanced view from all sides of the divide. We would very strongly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the history of Northern Ireland, and Belfast in particular. Thanks for a great tour Tommy!!

5.00Sean, was an amazing guide on this historical and educational tour. He made sure we had a great experience and made the trip very enjoyable. The amount of time for this tour was not only efficient, but necessary to get depth and understanding. The price was also well worth it.
