Take a Tour of The Turbulent Political History of Belfast
Walk the streets that shaped modern history with the original Belfast black taxi guides.
Every city has its modern charm, but Belfast stands apart with a powerful past. Known across the world for its political murals, Belfast is a city where the walls truly talk — telling stories of division, resilience, and a path to peace. Our award-winning Political & Mural Tour takes you through the heart of this story, guided by those who lived it.
Experience Belfast’s Political History First-Hand
Over 35 years of conflict — known locally as The Troubles — left a deep mark on Belfast. On this immersive 1 hour 45-minute tour, you’ll explore both sides of the conflict with visits to:
– The Republican Falls Road – birthplace of the Provisional IRA
– The Loyalist Shankill Road – stronghold of the UVF and UFF
– The world-famous Peace Walls – still separating communities today
– Dozens of political murals, each with a story to tell
– Remnants of the past, including bullet holes, old army barracks, and memorials
Your guide is not just a driver — they’re someone who experienced this history first-hand. They’ll explain the four perspectives: the Republican, Loyalist, British, and the community’s own truths, supported by evidence including photos, newspapers, plastic bullets, and videos.
