Overview
The tour is hosted in one of our Luxury Mercedes vehicles to create an experience in the best atmosphere possible! Belfast City was once one of the most divided cities in Europe especially from the 60's through to the early 2000's.
With small changes in society there has been more inclusion from both sides and a cultural shift to a more relaxed view on the politics that once governed Belfasts' streets. The Belfast Mural Tour will bring you back in time to the era of differences. Your local guide will tell the stories and bring you to the areas that would often be seen as crime hotspots!
These tours are filled with incredible insights and anecdotal stories from guides that lived in the very areas you visit!

Traveller reviews
We had such a fantastic tour around Belfast with Paul! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience really enjoyable from start to finish. We’re over from Liverpool and found NI tours on google and so glad we did we had the best time. Thanks again Paul !
Such an interesting morning. Really eye opening and sad but Chris’ energy made it fun at the same time. Would 10000% recommend
Brilliant experience. Chris was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend
We had Paul as our guide who was brilliant, shared knowledge of both sides of the political devide, had great humour while discussing serious political matters Would highly recommend him
Excellent private tour.. one of the best I’ve been on! So informative, so interesting; I felt Steve told an unbiased story of the troubles in Belfast and the suffering for all involved on both sides! His sense of humour made us smile too! I would highly recommend Steve’s tours ! Thanks Steve for your time, your knowledge of history and your personal accounts… not forgetting the drinks and nibbles too.. you know how to spoil your customers. We will be back and will be calling you again!
We were picked at the Cruise port in Belfast and delivered to our hotel in Dublin. Along the way, we stopped in Donaghadee for a Hope Street tour and a Belfast Wall short tour. Chris did a great job driving and conducting the tours. He was very knowledgeable, informative and personable. Definitely would recommend Chris for any tour needs.
It was truly awesome to get such history and personal experience in a great car with just my husband and me.
Had a great morning with Chris would highly recommend! Great value Thanks again Chris Kieran&kate Cheltenham
