Discover the turbulent political history of Belfast on a cab tour.

Exploring the Shankill Road and the Falls Road to learn about the events of the conflict which became known as The Troubles. Stopping at various murals which give each community its own distinctive character.

We start with pickup from your hotel/location within the city and meet your guide who will escort you on a journey through the two different communities within Belfast. Learn about the origins of The Troubles from your guide who has lived through the conflict, and gain first-hand insight into local history.

First, travel up the Shankill Road, the heart of the unionist community in the city. See a variety of murals displaying tributes to the British monarchy and Union Jack flags.

Continue onto the Falls Road, located only a short distance away, and see the Irish Republican murals and Irish tricolors that adorn the homes and businesses.

Hear about the key events of The Troubles, the effect it had on the citizens who lived within Belfast and beyond, and how communities are dealing with its consequences today.

Pass by Crumlin Road Gaol, which housed prisoners who were members of paramilitary organisations that characterised the conflict. Arrive at the so-called “Peace Wall” that was built between 1969 and 1971, and continues to separate both communities today.

Finally, with a comprehensive insight into the conflict, be dropped back at your hotel to enjoy the rest of your stay in the city.
