The tour we provide is a journey into Ireland’s past by guides who have lived and breathed the most recent conflict and can deliver a narrative from both sides of a conflict where people lost their lives guides from both sides of the divide

Just beginning to appreciate the depth of the history and division and pain of what The Troubles have wrought here in N. Ireland. John shared his deeply personal and *first-hand* experiences with the conflict. He was very informative, honest, patient, and his stories were very moving and sobering. We would highly recommend a tour with John. You will learn so much about a complex situation but you’ll want to learn more.

I believe this tour was likely the most authentic, informative, heartfelt experience one could possibly have - without actually living through these times in Ireland. John provided both sides of the story. It felt balanced. He explained many details about the murals and their origin; one would not be able to discern - without his guidance. We were able to get out of his car to see things. It was never rushed. This tour remains a highlight of even all our previous visits to Ireland. One goes on this tour because you enjoy history and you want to understand.
We prearranged to meet John by email from Canada for our tour before visiting Belfast by cruise ship. He met us exactly as promised just outside the cruise terminal. He would have used our Whatsapp number but I provided him with our local mobile phone number and he called us on the day of the tour to confirm final details. Our highest recommendation.

Very informative and interesting so much history which most people know a bit of it. But to see and hear it first hand is impactful.

This tour is a must during your first visit to Belfast. Stevie was wonderful in presenting a balanced and detailed history of Balfast during the last 120 years. Ask for Stevie when you book.

This your was absolutely brilliant. Being uneducated about the troubles, myself and my husband had a great morning with John. His knowledge was fantastic, his own stories made the tour so much lies interesting.
A genuinely lovely man!

This was the highlight of our recent trip to Belfast. John our tour guide was welcoming and friendly and gave us a fantastic insight to the political history of the North. His first hand account was genuine and gritty, a lived experience, It's a fascinating story everybody needs to hear. Highly recommended. Thanks John.

John was absolutely awesome. He turned out to be the exact type of person I wanted going into the tour, and we lucked out. He is extremely knowledgeable, and more importantly, explains the deep-rooted history of the conflict in Northern Ireland/Belfast in a way that helps you understand things more clearly. Definitely recommend touring with him.
