This is a really emotive couple of hours spent with a local who grew up in the area and understands the history. My driver Brian was so informative and gave an excellent account of both sides of the political divide. I do not think that you should come to Belfast as a tourist and go again without doing this tour. You need to see the roads and memorials to appreciate the artwork that both sides have created to commemorate their respective causes.

This was a fantastic experience. So informative and we learned tons. Jim was an excellent guide and was so friendly and welcoming. We had a blast and got an extra hour as there was so much to see. Thankyou so much Jim, diolch yn fawr!

Absolutely brilliant tour! Jimmy is brilliant, could listen to him all day! So much information and knowledge. Absolutely beautiful city with so much present history X
