We learned a lot on this walking tour. I can’t recall the name of our guide - Jim? He was excellent. We learned how ancient history influenced recent history and the how the ‘troubles’ in Belfast/Northern Ireland are so much more complex than what we saw. We love Belfast and it’s mainly down to this tour. We highly recommend this tour especially for those who are of an age to remember the troubles.

If you are looking for a walk of the peace walls, murals and a general city tour, this is not it. This tour is specifically about the politics and history of the period of troubles in Belfast and Northern Ireland and it provided a great overview of that in a vey balanced way. Chris was a very good guide.

My daughter and I found the tour to be very informative concerning the history of Belfast and Ireland and gave me a greater understanding as to why my great great grandfather and three of his brothers and their families immigrated to New Zealand in the early 1900's. It also gave us a greater understanding of the reasons behind the conflict between the Unionists and the Republicans, the Protestants and the Catholics. We found our tour guide, Chris, to be very knowledgeable and felt that he provided a very balanced view of the the city's history and was very approachable with questions. All round it was a very worthwhile tour
