Had an excellent experience with tony our guide his knowledge and personal passion for events in and surrounding the troubles were immense his was a hive of information and history could not recommend him enough as he also had his very own personal stories to tell growing up in this environment with a close member of his own family tragically lost because of the occurring events at the time

We had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy! Jimmy was punctual and had a real passion for sharing his knowledge and experiences. He gave us an in depth summary of the history of Belfast and took us to see the key sights/murals. Despite his own personal feelings and views, Jimmy gave a factual and unbiased oversight of the troubles Belfast which was very much appreciated. The tour was a real eye opener and isn’t for the faint hearted. We left knowing more than before and was an unusual highlight of our time in the city. Thank you jimmy!

my guide im sure his name is Jimmy ( but i may be wrong) he drives a silver Mercedes people carrier was brilliant. Firstly hes really friendly & is very passionate about his job. He was really informative about the story of the troubles & takes care that you understand the complexities of all .He shows you both sides & he explains the murals really well too . I would 100% recommend him to go on a taxi tour with him . I had a great time chatting with him. Thanks Barrie
