♡ Save
Join a local guide with firsthand experience of the Troubles and deep knowledge of Irish and British history. Explore Belfast through personal stories, local perspectives, and the events that shaped the city we know today.
Some of the areas we will visit:

As a Belfast-born guide who grew up during the Troubles, I offer a local perspective shaped by first-hand experience of the conflict and the city’s transformation in the years since.
Through conflict murals, peace walls and personal insight, this tour explores not only the history of the Troubles, but also the communities, memories and lasting impact that continue to shape Belfast today.
