    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience with Brandon — so much more than a tour!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience with Brandon — so much more than a tour! WOW! Where do I even begin? Brandon was absolutely AMAZING! His knowledge of Belfast, its people, and its history was incredible. He didn’t just drive us around and point things out. He stopped, walked with us, explained the significance of what we were seeing, took pictures of us, and truly took the time to make sure we understood. What made this experience so incredibly special was that Brandon wasn’t just sharing history he’d learned. He was sharing history he had LIVED. He was part of the movement, and hearing his personal experiences brought an entirely different perspective to everything we saw. It was fascinating, heartbreaking, bittersweet, and honestly, one of the most meaningful experiences of our entire trip to Ireland. My only regret is that we didn’t do something like this at the very beginning of our journey, before exploring Dublin and traveling throughout Ireland. Having this understanding of the history and what the Irish people have endured would have given us an entirely different perspective along the way. Brandon, THANK YOU for your honesty, your kindness, your patience, and for sharing such a personal part of your life with us. You didn’t just give us a tour. You gave us an experience we will carry with us long after we return home. God bless Ireland and ALL its people. After everything they’ve been through, they deserve peace. ❤️🇮🇪 If you’re visiting Belfast, please do yourself a favor and take this tour. And if you’re lucky enough to get Brandon, you’re in for something truly special!

    Great guide

    Davy, our guide was great! Very informative and funny. Gave history and personal experiences thru out the tour. Would highly recommend. However, we booked thru Viator - black cab co never received our reservation and we waited for an hour for them. Gerard, owner, was very accommodating and we rebooked tour thru him. Pick up and drop off went smoothly and Davy was right on time. I will think twice before booking thru Viator again

    Insightful and real

    Probably the most insightful- and chilling, tour we have ever done anywhere. We felt privileged that our guide had so much personal experience he was willing to share with us. Not your usual tourist affair.

    Black Taxi Tours/Brendan was great!

    Black Taxi Tours was great! We learned a great deal about the political history of Northern Ireland. The vehicle was clean and safe and our guide, Brendan, was fantastic. You should ask for him. Don’t go to Belfast without going on this tour!

    Great tour with Ricky

    Six of us had a fantastic tour with Ricky last Saturday. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a better insight into the history of 'the Troubles'. We had wanted to do this tour for some time and we weren't disappointed. It was excellent. Thank you Ricky.

    Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.

    How much does Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belfast usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Belfast is not rushed.

    Is Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Belfast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr?

    +

    Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Belfast can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Belfast and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Belfast within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Belfast?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Belfast experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A History of Terror - Belfast City Centre Walking Tour, Belfast Black Taxi Tour: Private Journey Through History, Belfast's Political Mural Taxi Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Belfast?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Belfast?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Belfast Famous Black Taxi Tour Political Murals & Peace Wall 2 Hr?

    +

    Included: free Belfast city center pick 1km from Belfast city hall; and Train,Airports and Cruise ship and air b&b pick up surcharge to be paid on the day in cash.
