Immerse yourself in Belfast's troubled political history through its murals on a 1.5 Hour guided black taxi tour. Listen to challenging narratives and personal recollections from your accredited guide as you journey through the most important locations in the city's past, including the Falls and Shankill Roads.Picking you up from your Hotel, you will travel to our first Mural at the base of the world Famous Divis Flats a former British Army Watch Tower,. Your guide will always explain the context of the murals on the way. Your guide will always try and find out your level of knowledge, this ensures that the tour will always be pitched at the right level. Under no circumstances will you arrive at the Murals and jump right in.
Next you will visit the International Wall which marks entry into Republican West Belfast. Learn about these Murals that show support for various oppressed communities, local and international events. As you drive around this area, listen to remarkable stories from your guide. Your next stop is the Hunger Strike Mural featuring Bobby Sands.
Continue your tour by entering Loyalist Belfast, starting by signing your name on the Peace Wall (not compulsory) before driving along the Shankill Road. Here, see many memorial murals of UVF and UFF Volunteers, The Royal Family and many memorials to victims of the conflict
Remember this is your tour, please let your guide know your requirements. You may want to concentrate on seeing mural after murals with just a basic description from your guide. Other visitors are interested in the politics and getting to know about life growing up in the areas visited. Please don't suffer in silence, your guide will be more than happy to alter the format of the tour Please be advised that because of the pricing bracket there is no solo traveller option on this tour.
