We were in Belfast over the Easter holidays and on Easter Sunday, we had a quite a few hours to burn since our flight wasn't on till late in the evening. We got on Black cab tour and found it to be an eye-opener indeed. Our tour guide proved very informative. He was very knowledgable about the dates and the... More

I knew a bit about the history of 'the troubles', but nothing in a book can substitute the knowledge of a person who lived through it. Gerald's personal knowledge and interest were brilliant, and he gave us lots of helpful tips of good books to read and films to see if we wanted to know more. As well as dropping... More

The tour and its guide, Gerald, were great! I had a general idea of the troubles in Northern Ireland, but the Taxi Tour gave a ton of info and details that I never knew. The guide had many newspaper clippings and photos to help put the history into perspective. There were plenty of stops for pictures and Gerald often offered... More

We waited until our last morning in the city to get out to see the Falls Road and Shankill Rd. areas of Belfast. We are thrilled to have waited for such an impelling description of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The history that Gerard displayed in front of our eyes left an indelible mark on both of us but it... More

This is undoubtedly one of the best tours I have ever experienced with Gerald being the best guide ever. His warmth, friendliness, professionalism and passion for the subject meant we had a thrilling, often touching, always thought-provoking ride. A definite "must" for any visitor to Belfast. Almost too much to see on one trip so a repeat visit is definitely... More

We had a really good time and learnt a lot from this visit. We were not english native speakers so it was difficult to understand everything and there is a lot of information coming up very quickly. I strongly recommand this tour to people coming to visit Belfast, it's a unique outdoor museum telling a really harsh history. I also... More

We use old photos and news paper clips and videos to help tourist understand our unique history. The famous political murals tell their own story and we try and explain 800 years of history instead of starting from 1969. Our company try and give the best value for money and also try and show the most of our changing city. More
