I do hope that other local people would consider this tour. It would make a great staycation.”

Review of Belfast’s private black taxi tour, covering Falls Road, Shankill Road, murals, peace walls, The Troubles, price, and practical tips.

No preemptive email, no phone call, no offer to connect us with another company or suggestions for other tours they could offer in place of this cancelled one. Just a flat cancellation after we were all gathered in a hotel lobby awaiting a fun experience together as a family. Extremely disappointing. I’d advise choosing another operator for…”
