We came here twice on our weekend trip to Belfast and it was very poignant and interesting to hear and learn about the troubles. It is slightly eery when you hear about the gates. The contrast between the two areas is also quite mesmerising. We were really glad we got to go here on 2 occasions.

We drove past the peace wall a couple of times on the hop on hop off bus and the information given by the tour guides was highly educational. Just driving past the wall and through the gates you can feel the changes that took place. Eye opening and very educational.

Something has gone wrong with the walls. I was expecting, as pictured some moving art work with a message, what I got was a mile of rubbish; tagging and graffiti. There is just a small section that hasn't been tagged or written on. I was very disappointed. I also agree with another reviewer's comment. There should be a designated "Peace Wall" sign, so you know you are in the most important area. I walked past all the graffiti and was just totally annoyed that so many reviewers had called this a "must do" experience. It was very disappointing.

The hop-on, hop-off bus tour has a stop where passengers can get off to see the murals in more detail. It was a cool damp morning and I chose not to, because it looked so bleak. I’m sure the murals are worthy and I fully understand why they were constructed during the Troubles in the province. To name them peace walls is a misnomer. They were, and are, barriers and should be removed if they are not needed. I’ve never heard of the Berlin Wall being referred to as a ‘Peace Wall’ and in this day and age neither should this. Walls do not bind communities, they divide. Tear it down.

Excellent context for the conflict. Tobey was an amazing guide. Totally engaged our teenager. Very balance perspective on this complex issues. The walls are inspiring and beautiful if somewhat heart breaking at times.
