interesting tour full of information, if you want to know more about the troubles this is the right experience to do. Our really kind and good at explaining driver guided us through the hard history, of which the murals are testimony, and the current contradictions of this beautiful city. Recommended experience!

A friend of mine and me, we found that tour amazing. Thanks specially to our guide Jim, he shows a lot of experience and whatever you asked him, he could give you an extended explanation of the answer. To summarize, it was a very interesting trip and I will definitely recommend my friends if they ever visit Belfast. All the best and thank you Jim, Ivan

While the app was not great and did not provide the proper information to the tour provider, our guid was amazing and gregarious. Jim provided us with a wealth of information about the strife in Belfast/Northern Ireland. We loved learning more and he also made sure we got where we needed to go.
