Had a great experience if you managed to get Paul as a tour guide he’s brilliant and tells you a lot of extra things that the audio doesn’t
Good value for money and informative particularly about the troubles. Would recommend.when visiting Belfast.
Catherine our tour guide was brilliant - I definitely know more now I’ve done the trip than before. So really interesting and informative.
