We had very informative tour with our guide/taxi driver, Jim. He took us to murals and key places of interest that related to the Troubles. In explaining the history, Jim was very impartial and gave us a balanced account. It was a terrible time for Nth Ireland and Belfast and we left the tour with a better understanding on why and how they started. We highly recommend this tour.
