About this tour
A two-hour private taxi tour of Belfast led by a driver who witnessed the Troubles firsthand. Travel to Falls Road and Shankill Road to see striking murals created by former combatants from both communities. Your guide unpacks the city's layered political history through four distinct perspectives—British, Republican, Loyalist, and lived experience—whilst sharing archival photographs and footage that ground each neighbourhood's transformation. Far more than a sightseeing run; this is a chance to grasp why these walls matter and what they represent.

- Murals painted by ex-prisoners on Falls and Shankill Roads
- First-hand accounts from someone who experienced the Troubles
- Four competing historical narratives explained with nuance
- Archival photos and videos of neighbourhoods then and now
- Private taxi allows intimate, unhurried conversation
- Suitable for all fitness levels and ages with infants
What to expect
You'll spend two hours in a black taxi, moving between two of Belfast's most politically charged streets. Your driver narrates continuously, moving beyond the standard tourist account to offer insider perspective. The murals themselves are vivid and numerous—some are memorials, others declare allegiance, many have evolved in meaning over decades. Expect to stop and look closely, with your guide contextualising each image. You'll see period photographs showing how drastically these neighbourhoods have changed. The narrative is frank but balanced; the driver isn't pushing one version but showing how differently the same events were understood depending on where you stood.
Good to know
Parking is included. Bring no food or alcohol, though the driver can suggest stops. Infants must sit on a lap; prams fold in the boot. Public transport is nearby if you'd prefer to travel independently to the pickup point. Two hours covers ground but moves slowly—this isn't rushed.
