It was a very good experience and we learnt a lot in a short time from Darren who really knew his stuff. He gave a balanced tour as promised and shared soem of his personal experiences growing up with the troubles which I think made it even more real. Very happy

Pat was a fantastic guide. Having grown up in the area, he had personal experiences of the troubles. He really knew his stuff and we felt we gained a lot from the tour. I would highly recommended this tour and if you can choose which driver you get, make sure it’s Pat!
