          Time incredibly well spent
          Incredibly informative, well structured, and led by people from the community who lived through the conflicts. Ricky was top notch, kind, a good driver, and incredibly knowledgeable.

          ✨✨Get Brendan ✨✨
          Brendan was amazing!! He gave us an in-depth perspective about the troubles of Ireland. He talked about the IRA and their memorial gardens. He showed us the walls that are still up from the troubles. He also showed us the Protestant side and their perspective. Brendan was very kind to me and my mother! I highly recommend Brendan if you can get him, as a young female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. 10/10 would recommend again!

          Belfast Tour Recommendation
          Thanks to Brendan for the knowledge he showed and the information he shared during our 2 hour political tour of Belfast. Brendan was a fantastic tour guide, helping us understand the political divide experienced in Belfast, the history surrounding it and the progress since the peace talks and the Good Friday agreement. Thanks for answering all our questions, accommodating the pick up and drop off and being a wonderful host.

          Well worth the money.
          What a fantastic tour, Ricky was so knowledgeable, and for 2 hours drove and walked us around West Belfast. Ricky explained the history from the 12th century to the 1960's, and then in more detail through to today. Ricky's own personal experience growing up in the area through the troubles was eye opening. Although he grew up on one side of the peace wall, his outlook, and continued contributions to peace meant we got a complete picture from both sides. Would highly recommend.

          Amazing Blac cab tour by David
          David gave us first hand experience how was it growing up in Belfast. It was an amazing tour, listening to his stories at original locations gave us the real feeling of Belfast behind the scenes. He was extremly friendly, even recreating original photos of us that was taken during the troubling times.

          What a great experience. Brendan, our driver and guide was absolutely brilliant and you could tell he knew his stuff. Not through learning from books but actually living through it. Can't recommend highly enough

          Black Cab tour with Brendan
          We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Brendan as our guide! He picked us up from our hotel right on time, greeting us with such warmth and friendliness. Before starting, he took the time to chat with us about the type of tour we wanted, ensuring it was tailored to our interests. Brendan's knowledge is incredible—he shared fascinating insights into the region's political history and how it has evolved over the decades. We were also lucky to have beautiful weather, which Brendan made the most of by stopping at key historic sites along the way. It truly made the afternoon special. We highly recommend this tour and can't thank Brendan enough for such a memorable day!

          We had Gerard as our guide, who made the tour very insightful. If your between doing the sight seeing buses or the private tours with Belfast attraction taxi tours, 100% book with these! We learned a lot about the history of Belfast and we’d highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it.

          The lived experience from Belfast
          This is a MUST-DO for visitors to Northern Ireland. We learned so much in a couple of hours about the history and conflict from a person with first-hand, lived experience. Ricky was an amazing guide and made the entire situation feel very real. We had great conversation about the world and current struggles all over. Don't miss out on this experience!

        Davy gave us an absolutely fantastic tour of the Murals and relevant sites of The Troubles. He lived through the experience and was very articulate, charming, balanced and real. You really felt part of the experience which is something that can only be achieved if your tour guide has lived through it themselves. Hugely informative and touching. If you go to Belfast, this tour is a must.

        Very informative couple of hours, showing us areas of where the trouble was, peace wall and other key areas including murals. Worth doing to learn about the history of NI especially if like me, a lot of it was new information. Patrick was able to give a view from both sides

        Fantastic insight by experienced guide.
        Sean gave us an amazing guide with many personal stories about how it was to grow up in Belfast during the troubles. He was good fun, we asked him some sticky questions and he answered them all with a bit of craic involved which is exactly what we wanted while on holidays. He gives a great perspective of both sides and takes his time to explain about the troubles in Northern Ireland. He answered all our questions. Sean made this trip well worth doing. Its value for money.

        Our guide Brendan collected us from our city centre hotel and gave us a very fair, balanced and enjoyable 2 hour tour of West Belfast. We stopped off at various spots along the way and got out briefly from the taxi to look closer at some monuments or buildings along the way. Overall a great way to learn about life there over the last 100 years or so. M.

        I have been waiting to do this tour for 17 years! Davy was our guide and he was wonderful. He shared his personal experiences from the very start of the troubles to present day. The history and stories he shared with us can’t compare to books and documentaries. Davy share stories from both sides of the conflict and shared a lot about the current efforts toward unification.

        Came up for the bank holiday weekend and decided to do the black cab tour at the last minute and it was well worth it. Jim was absolutely brilliant and gave so much insight and history of the areas and was able to answer any questions that we had. He was a fountain of knowledge and even gave us some direction on where we could get more information about what he had spoken about. £50 well spent and a good talking point for the rest of the day!! Would definitely recommend the tour! :)

        Gerard was an incredible guide! This tour was very educational, and they focused on sharing the authentic history as it happened. That meant hearing the good and bad things both sides did, and how it impacted civilians living here at the time. Truly educational, and we left with a list of book and movie recommendations to further our education.

        Thank you so much to Gerard for your honest and educating tour. You guys are amazing at what you do. Will be booking the family in when they visit the city. Keep up the good work!

        During the current covid crisis, I felt safe in the spotlessly clean cab. The hand gel, wipes etc were a lovely touch to make us feel extra safe - thank you!
