Knowledgeable, Friendly and Unbiased Tour Guide
Hugh was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. He gave an unbiased account of living in Belfast, both during the troubles and in the more optimistic times of current day Belfast. I'd recommend him to anyone visiting Belfast and keen to find out more about the political history.

Great experience
We did this tour with Danny L at the end of January. Danny was the perfect driver for this tour and would recommend him highly. The tour was fascinating and everything else we thought it would and would not be. Would highly recommend.

A Journey Through History
The Origins of Belfast’s Political Murals
Stepping inside one of our iconic black cabs in Belfast is not just a means of transportation; it’s an opportunity to delve into the fascinating history and culture of this vibrant city. As you embark on this unique tour, you’ll find yourself transported back in time, exploring the origins of Belfast’s political murals.
These murals offer poignant reminders of Belfast’s troubled past and the conflicts that once divided communities. Created during the height of the Troubles, they serve as visual representations of political and cultural identities, reflecting the hopes, fears, and aspirations of the people.
A Journey Through Belfast’s Streets
Our tour begins by winding through the narrow streets of Belfast, with each turn unveiling a new mural that tells a different story. The famous Falls Road and Shankill Road are two of the areas where murals are most concentrated, and your knowledgeable guide will provide insight into the significance of each piece of art.
As we pass by the murals, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the vibrant colors, intricate details, and powerful messages they convey. From murals depicting historical events to those commemorating individuals who lost their lives in the conflict, each artwork has its own tale to tell.
The Impact of Political Murals Today
While Belfast’s political murals serve as a reminder of the city’s troubled past, they also play a vital role in promoting understanding, dialogue, and reconciliation. Today, these once-divisive artworks have become symbols of unity and hope.
As you take in the murals, you’ll witness first hand how they have evolved over time. Many artists have moved away from depicting violent scenes and have chosen to focus on themes of peace, community, and cultural diversity. These modern murals not only inspire conversation but also contribute to the vibrant transformation of Belfast as a city.
