Wow such an incredible tour & our favourite activity in Belfast. Frank was so knowledgeable on the history of Belfast & the ‘Troubles’, he completely opened our minds to what the city was like & kept a very honest account with his own experience of the ‘troubles’ added in there. He’s a fantastic storyteller & id reccommend this tour to everyone who has an interest in history or who’s interested in visiting Belfast.

Conflicting Stories - Taxi Tour of Murals and Peacewalls, is an interesting concept. One hour with a cabby from one side of The Troubles, and and the next hour with one from the other side. Francis and Micky gave us interesting personal perspectives, having grown up as young men during those times. They could have both turned into bitter older men, however they both have hope for a future integrating into a united Ireland. Highly recommended.

Picked up bang on time ( our pick up was from the pavement outside the Ibis hotel in the centre of the city.) first tour was a very personal account of growing up in Belfast the ups and downs, life choices made, some bullets dodged ( literally) and ended with a really positive outcome for the children of the troubles. Second tour focussed on the history that sparked the 1960s conflict from the Catholic perspective moving forward to the present day and ended with a link to the first tour. If you want a proper history tour focussing on real life stories rather than a tourist snap shot, book this tour, you will come away with a real feel for the city and it's people.

Class info and brilliant craic! Frank and Belfast Lad absolutely nailed it. I can thoroughly recommend their trip have now been on a few of them. Excellent.

Made an enormous impression on us! Francis’ firsthand account of the events in Belfast were jaw dropping from start till end. Combined with Micky’s detailed addition, very much worthwhile to understand this period in history up and till the present day.

He was so knowledgeable about everything he was saying, incredibly fascinating. Nothing was one sided, it was purely educational and fascinating. Incredibly well done.

real stories from the troubles, all with photographic evidence and great explanations

very interesting and informative, 100% recommend!!
