A Brilliant Tour with Jackie – A Must-Do in Belfast! We just finished our black cab tour of Belfast, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Jackie, was absolutely brilliant—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the complex history of the city. Jackie provided a balanced and insightful perspective on Belfast’s past and present, guiding us through key areas of both the Falls and Shankill Roads. His deep understanding of the Troubles, combined with personal stories and historical context was excellent. The tour allowed us to visit important murals on both sides of the peace wall, while getting an authentic, firsthand account of the city’s history. Jackie answered all our questions, and made sure we walked away with a deeper understanding of Belfast’s past and its ongoing journey. If you’re visiting Belfast, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you, Jackie, for such an informative and unforgettable experience!
