What people are saying about Belfast

This is a great tour! Short but very informative and the in-depth nature of the Crumlin Gaol exhibits make up for the length of the cab tour. Our guide was an awesome local who clearly cared about helping us understand the history of the Troubles in Belfast.

For avid fans of the series it is well worthwhile. The guide was excellent and was enthusiastic about the series. A different way to see Belfast. As for the city, it needs a bit of upgrading.

Was quite difficult to get to - suggest better transport options from Belfast not just the weekend. However, the exhibition was excellent!

I learned a lot on this walking tour. I liked that he showed pictures along the way to give you a better sense of the terrors in the past.

Kieron our taxi driver was brilliant, he had so much knowledge and the whole experience was so interesting. Would highly recommend
