Excellent tour!
I enjoyed this tour through Belfast. The guide is passionate for peace. When a (bit drunk) older local approached us nearly to to end we experienced in real life what all the time he was saying: brainwashing, making equality issues of the past about identity... This encounter proved our guides message for me. We got into some very interesting neigbourshoods. I liked the fact that Marti took our remarks into consideration and make it relevant to the tour. Such as my Hugenot decent and the other couples Canadian nationality. It sparked my interest for the troubles and efforts of those who stand for peace.
Response from the operator: Thank you I do my best to help visitors understand the complexity and reality of how wee achieved an ongoing peace agreement. And of course being in a small group we'll meet the locals with their own strong appinions from time to time. And yes it just happened the Canidians and yourselves and your own beliefs are apart of the story. And am happy to read my followup info gave you further insight into our continued efforts to maintain peace.

Brilliant experience
Marti was an excellent guide. The experience was very enlightening and he did a great job of explaining a very complex situation. He certainly stimulated our interest in following up and further unpacking the story.
Response from the operator: Thanks I'm happy to read I helped you understand the complex situation here. And also thank you for taking the time to leave me your encouraging review.

My education to the Troubles
A sense of place, time and the past all build into this conversation (a tour just doesn't feel like the right work). Marti's passion and care for his fellow countryman, the difficulties that they have faced and the slow progress to a peaceful future, introduced me to a deeper understanding of the conflicted history of greater ireland and how it played out in West Belfast. Like all history it is messy murky and written by the victors to provide a justification of the why. To walk through the peace walls and see the barrier and divisions, it shows a side of Belfast (and a history of greater Ireland) that I did not know. Thank you Marti, for your time, care, presence and desire for peace to heal the suffering. John

Belfast Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.
How much does Belfast Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 178 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 Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour?
+
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 Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Belfast Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour?
+
Around 62 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Belfast Troubles Murals Street Art and Peace Wall Walking Tour 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.
