Superb Taxi Tour

A brilliant tour with Jimmy even though he supports Man United. Constantly gave us information to help understand the politics and the events that have shaped Belfast and Northern Ireland. Fortunate to meet mural artist David Devenny who was painting a mural as we took our tour. Could quite easily have spent another hour listening and hearing the stories. Well worth booking a private tour for your party as this is best to answer questions. I’d imagine large crowd bookings don’t give that personal touch.
It’s to be hoped that soon the peace wall can be removed and the people can live together side by side as one as the people on both sides of the wall are so warm and friendly.
Well worth the cost. Thanks to Jimmy for such a great tour. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator · Belfastmuraltaxitour Thanks again for another excellent review. Jimmy is an exceptional guide and he'll be delighted to read your kind words.

A real eye opener

Our guide Jackie was knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the history of the troubles.
He explained everything in great detail without showing any bias towards one side or the other. He told us details of his own life growing up during the 1970's and 1980's which gave us a better understanding of these times from a more personal level.
He picked us up on time and answered our questions. He is a credit to Belfast Tours. We came away with a better understanding of these times.
Response from the operator · Belfastmuraltaxitour Thank you so much for your review. Your feedback means a lot and we're so delighted to know you enjoyed your time here in Belfast and your tour with Jackie.
