Review of Belfast’s private black cab Troubles tour, with murals, Peace Wall, local guides, pickup details, value, and practical advice.
“This was a very interesting tour. We got an honest but unbiased look at what happened in Belfast in the past and what the situation is present day. It included many things I heard about on the news when I was younger but never really understood, like the hunger strike. The driver, Sean, presented a look from the viewpoint of each side so I could understand how each side had purposes they were trying to achieve, and in the end I understood that they both actually had a common purpose-- to be freed from suppression.

This is an essential tour for those who respect history or are involved in modern politics.”
