Interesting tour which provides an insight on the Troubles and the Wall of Peace. Our guide, Marti, offered us all information we need to understand the recent past and present social and political situation in Belfast and Northern Ireland. He showed us some empowering community experiences currently going on in the city, that unlikely we would have known without a local's perspective. Along the tour, he also told us about some little curious facts and gave us suggestions on landmarks and typical food and beverage! Recommended!

Marti took us on an amazing tour of Belfast street art. He also provided the cultural and political context for that art with a focus on the measures and efforts that are being pursued to promote peace and understanding. He is a gifted storyteller. He doesn't sugarcoat the problems but he also believes in a peaceful path forward. Strongly recommended.

Marti was a fantastic, thought provoking tour guide. He very much focuses on the future of Belfast and how the city is developing but very clearly links this to the past and the journey the city has been on. Marti will show you the amazing street art that Belfast has and link this in with some of the great pubs you can visit. He'll take you to the Shankhill and Falls Road and the Peace Line, and you'll see some of the many political murals first hand and the stories linked to them. Marti does this in a very impartial manner and also focuses on the developments in both communities. Marti is a very knowledgeable guide and has some great stories as well. If you want to get to see the true Belfast the best way to do this is on foot. Next time I'm in Belfast I'll take in another of his tours.
