Highlights
Join me on this established tour, new to this platform. This is a genuine first hand account of the Troubles: the definitive experience delivered by a local guide: who was born, and lived throughout the Troubles, in the area. This is not a learned, scripted tour, but an unique eye witness to key events throughout bloody conflict. Hear the stories behind the headlines; of real events not in the history books. From the outbreak of war to the launch of the Good Friday Agreement, hear the details from your guide who was present at these pivotal moments in time. Walk along the Falls Road; see the Solidarity walls and the Bobby Sand's murals; visit the Peace Walls; stand in Bombay Street, the epicentre of the outbreak of the conflict and more. Be prepared for an emotional and eye opening tour which will remain with you long after you have returned home.

About Belfast
Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital, a harbour city between hills and lough, known for shipbuilding, Victorian pubs, murals and the Titanic story.
Belfast grew with the linen and shipbuilding trades, and the giant yellow cranes of the old shipyard still stand over the docks where the Titanic was built and launched in 1911. The Titanic Quarter now holds a large museum on that story. In the centre, the domed City Hall, completed in 1906, stands in a square of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and the Cathedral Quarter has cobbled lanes and old pubs.
Top-ranked sights in Belfast: Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges.
