Compelling experience - We did a guided tour with Gerard who provided us with lots of historical as well as personal information to help us understand the past of the city. The fact that our guide grew up in the area is a real plus. Very instructive and merely unforgettable.

We travelled all around Belfast with black taxi tours with tour guide Brendan, who was absolutely amazing at his job. - We got the Belfast black taxi tour with Brendan. He was absolutely outstanding at his job and a wealth of knowledge. He took us all around Belfast and gave detailed information on each area we travelled too. He also obliged us by taking photos as we travelled around, I would highly recommend these tours and I would also highly recommend Brendan as tour guide.

Highly recommend, so much interesting information and stories by a fantastic tour guide! - Brendan was a really fantastic tour guide. Full of information and facts, he had us entertained from the minute he met us. We had 2 x 14 year olds with us who were entirely engaged in the whole tour (a challenge in itself to entertain moody teens) and who really enjoyed it. The 2 hours flew by. Highly recommend.

Brilliant trip around the shankhill road and falls road. - Brilliant tour by Brendan, he’s a minefield of information and couldn’t have been nicer. I’d highly recommend doing the tour.

A tour of Ireland. ALL of Ireland - A very educational and informative tour. We had two families of 3, late June, pick us all up at our Belfast hotel and give the tour. Tour guide was awesome. Friendly, funny, informative. Kind of lad you’d want to go have a beer with afterwards. Provided great history, some first hand experiences of the struggles, lots of pictures, and a few stops. I’d highly recommend black taxi tours.
