Black Taxi Tours Belfast

Our Black Taxi tour with Ricky yesterday was nothing short of amazing! While we both felt we were well versed in Irish history, Ricky's knowledge and lived experience really brought to life not only what it was like during the height of the Troubles, but the history leading up to it and life in Belfast today. I can and will absolutely recommend this tour for anyone coming to Belfast.

My recent experience on Belfast Tours’ Political Mural Taxi Tour was nothing short of exceptional, largely due to our guide, Tony. From the moment we began, Tony’s passion for his city and its complex history was palpable. His extensive knowledge and deep personal connection to the stories he shared brought the murals to life in a way that was both engaging and profoundly moving. Tony masterfully wove a narrative throughout the tour that highlighted not just the historical and political significance of each mural, but also the personal stories behind them. His own experiences added a unique and intimate perspective, making the tour feel deeply personal and authentic. It was clear that this wasn’t just a job for Tony; it was a mission to educate and inspire through the powerful medium of art and storytelling. The tour didn’t just provide an overview of Belfast’s turbulent past; it was a journey through the heart and soul of the city, ending with a message of hope. Tony’s storytelling emphasized the resilience and enduring spirit of the community, leaving us with a sense of optimism for the future. I cannot recommend Belfast Tours’ Political Mural Taxi Tour enough. If you’re looking for an informative, heartfelt, and ultimately hopeful exploration of Belfast’s history, this is the tour for you. Tony’s dedication and the personal connections he shares make it an unforgettable experience.

We had an amazing time on our black cab tour in Belfast! Pat, our tour guide, was super informative and knowledgeable. He was also super friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. Pat took us through all the key spots and shared fascinating stories about the city's political history. He answered all our questions and gave us a balanced view of the events. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. If you're heading to Belfast, you’ve got to check out this tour with Pat. Highly recommend it!

took the black taxi tour as part of our day from the tour we were on very interesting-opinionated yes but somewhat more interesting than most took us to the walls; to neighborhoods we normally wouldn;t be in; to a monestary all the while speaking to us about what happened here another sider of what happened & is occuring in Belfast

Outstanding. Joel was unbelievably knowledgeable and passionate. Was supposed to last 80 minutes but we were out for nearly 2 hours. Picked up an. Dropped off at hotel. Fascinating, educational, sad but also some uplifting personal stories too. Unmissable when in Belfast

Spent two hours this afternoon with Stephen, and it was great. He was well versed on the history of “the troubles” and a gentleman at all times. The murals on both sides of the wall were astounding. Stephen was on time picking us up (actually he was early) and was ready to go.

Great tour of Belfast. My second 1 with black taxi tours. First with friends, second with family. My mams first time and she really found it interesting. Our driver Jim (I think) was able to tell us the history to date on the tour and was more then happy to answer all my questions. And we got a chance to meet other tours too.

Outstanding tour by Jono in his black cab - brought the troubles to life, we were lucky to meet the artist behind the famous Bobby sands mural on the tour - amazing experience which we will never forget. Highly recommended.

So far, this has been an awful experience. Our tour was scheduled for 9:00, but driver thought it was 10:00, and now he has gone to the wrong dock. 10:15 and still waiting.

Took the black taxi political mural tour and it was a great experience. My guide Joe picked me up at my hotel and he took me on a tour of some of the city's political art. We spent some time looking at the Protestant/Ulster Defense murals off in a neighborhood off Shankill Road. Next we went to one of the main peace walls in the city, I believe on Falls Road which was the republic side. I got to walk down the road and spend some time digesting everything, The whole time Joe provided a very honest, fair account of the conflict and some of the lingering issues today. Joe was really friendly and took time to answer any questions I had. He even recommended the Crumlin Road Gaol tour and dropped me off there after we were done (which was another great tour and great recommendation). I highly recommend these guys - this is a must for anyone visiting Belfast.
