    A MUST do tour when visiting Belfast!!! Joe’s black cab tour.

    There were 8 of us visiting Belfast and we had been highly recommended Joe’s Black Cabs mural tour by someone that had done it, and it absolutely did not disappoint! We were split into two taxis, with 4 people in each, and Joe and Stevie were our guides. Both were absolutely fantastic, really knowledgeable, friendly and brilliant at explaining the history of Belfast in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. We listened to personal experiences, as having liver in Belfast his whole life, he was able to give us a real insight into what life was like during the Troubles and how the conflict affected people and communities. The tour taught us so much about the Troubles, the divisions between communities, the Peace Wall and the conflicts that have shaped Belfast over the years. Seeing the famous murals up close and hearing the stories and history behind them was fascinating and gave us a much deeper understanding of the city and its past. The tour lasted around 1.5–2 hours and took us to all the famous murals, making it a brilliant way to see parts of Belfast we might otherwise have missed. The convenient pick-up and drop-off in the city centre was an added bonus, and we thought the tour was very reasonably priced for such an informative and memorable experience. All 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed it, and we can’t recommend Joe’s Black Cabs enough. A huge thank you to Joe and Stevie for such a great experience and tour. If you’re visiting Belfast, this tour is an absolute MUST! Thank you Joe’s black cab tours.

    Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 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 Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 643 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Belfast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals 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 Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour?

    +

    Around 225 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals 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.

    What is included in Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Famous 1.5 hour Belfast Murals Tour?

    +
