My tour today with Caolan was wonderful ! He shared about the complex history of the Troubles, and gave me some helpful resources to learn more. As part of a custom tour , Caolan helped me see landmarks of my ancestors with a lot of patience and kindness. Thank you Caolan! I also enjoyed an awesome tour earlier in the week with Diarmaid in this company as well . Top notch hospitality and experience all around . Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a fabulous private, political/murals tour with Caolan this morning. Caolan is obviously passionate about sharing all that he knows with his guests, and he knows a lot. While sharing some of Belfast’s dark history, he also managed to infuse a little humour. Highly recommend!

I went on this tour not that long ago and it was great. I had a taxi driver called Caolan and he was great. He was very great at being impartial to either side and took us through Belfast giving us insights that were amazing! He gave us sweets which was incredibly nice. Not only was he great at being impartial he explained everything in ways that made so much sense and that made the whole tour easier to understand. He even gave me some topics to research after the tour which I thought was very cool. He was very good at making the tour a great experience. I have some heritage from the republic of island so I knew a bit about the tour and how the conflict affected n . Island but he gave me so much more information that really helped me understand it more. That is why I am giving this review a 5/5 and honestly if I could I would give it more. Thank you for that experience.

My tour guide was Caolan. He was awesome! I was lucky enough to be the only person in his tour group so I got to ask all the questions I wanted and he made sure I got the best pictures. He was very knowledgeable and presented information, on what could be considered a sensitive and complicated topic, with an unbiased position. Very professional. I would highly recommend both him and Viator.

If you’re looking to explore Belfast’s rich and complex history, a black cab tour is an absolute must-do. Caelan, was a standout from the start—exceptionally friendly and welcoming, he instantly made the experience both enjoyable and engaging. His warmth turned what could have been a simple history lesson into a personal and memorable journey through the city.

What truly set this tour apart was the driver’s impressive knowledge of the Troubles. As we wound through Belfast’s streets, he shared detailed insights and captivating anecdotes that brought the city’s past to life. His deep understanding of this turbulent period was evident in every story he told, painting a vivid picture of the events that have shaped the community.

Even more remarkable was his ability to present both sides of the conflict with fairness and respect. He didn’t just recite facts—he offered a balanced perspective that honored the complexities of the Troubles. It was clear that his goal was to educate, not to push any one narrative, making the tour feel thoughtful and authentic.

Overall, the Belfast black cab tour is an enlightening experience and a fantastic way to learn about the recent history that continues to influence this vibrant community. It’s a unique glimpse into the city’s past and an essential part of any visit to Belfast. Highly recommended!

My tour guide, Diarmaid, was one of the few locals who grew up on the Catholic side of the community. He was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour was not only informative but also deeply moving—it left me with a heavy heart.

If there’s one thing you do when visiting Belfast, I highly recommend taking this tour.

Having moved up to Belfast from Galway over 2 years ago, this tour was on my bucket list. Diarmaid our guide was fantastic, super informative, a power of information, totally non-bias showing us both sides of the conflict that what went on in both communities. This was impressive as there was a lot I wasn’t aware of. Diarmaid made me very comfortable and gave personal experiences throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know about Irish history…..
