Our driver Tony was absolutely brilliant! Lots of both political and historical knowledge he made it so interesting and answered all our questions. Nothing was too much bother, and we had a good laugh along the way (we’ll not mention the women’s mural to your wife haha). Loved every minute of it would highly recommend especially with Tony and he gave us some places to visit for the rest of our trip as well.

Martin was a truly phenomenal tour guide. He took so much time explaining the history behind the different factions. He was very proud of his history and provided us with a great understanding of the long time clash between the republicans and loyalists. Highly recommend!

Was on our bucket list and it was well and truly ticked Martin was the best guide for us Having first hand experience of "The Troubles" the tour was so informative and while we are well informed the personal insight and experience Martin was able to impart took us back in memory to what the people went through in this period of Irish history He obviously lives and loves to tell the story. those who fought will never be forgotten Hopefully those who died did not die in vain. May peace survive. 🍀
