Step by Step
Immerse yourself in one of the most intense chapters of contemporary history with this 2-hour black taxi tour of Belfast, focusing on the political murals and peace wall separating Protestant (Unionist) and Catholic (Republican) communities.
This tour takes place in a traditional black taxi, a cultural symbol of the city, driven by a local guide with first-hand knowledge of the conflict, also known as "The Troubles". During the tour, you will visit both sides of the city, including Falls Road (Republican area) and Shankill Road (Unionist area), where murals commemorate victims, heroes and political messages that live on today.
Your guide will explain the origins of the conflict, its social and political consequences, and how communities separated for decades live together today. You will also stop at the peace wall, where you can sign your name next to messages of hope written by visitors from all over the world.
What makes this tour unique is the personal perspective offered by the drivers, many of whom experienced first-hand the harshest years of the conflict. The experience is intimate, reflective and educational, tailored to the pace of the traveller and with space for questions and conversation.
