On this extraordinary tour, history, culture, and imagination converge to create an unforgettable exploration, and gain insight into the complex social fabric of Belfast. On this tour through Belfast, we’ll witness the lasting impact of the Troubles as we pass by the 25-foot Peace Walls that still separate Catholic and Protestant communities today.

But it’s no longer dangerous here. You can easily and safely walk through these districts on your own, and we think you’re best introduced to this city, with a private tour. Our guides grew up in Belfast, and know their city well, offering honest viewpoints on the Troubles, political murals, and local culture.
