Every city has it’s shopping and coffee culture but Belfast city has a unique past after coming out of 30 years of conflict.Your guides are the original  drivers who had to transport their communities through the bullets and bombs of THE TROUBLES and have their lives at risk every time they seat in their black cabs. The North of Ireland has become famous for the murals painted in almost every area of the country . These pictures of IRA ,UVF murals are often flashed around the world on news bulletins or used as a backdrop when interviewing people. They often depict the history and political views of both traditions and are a way of marking territory. These wall paintings often look intimidating but they have become as much of a tourist attraction as many of the regular attractions within Belfast and beyond.

    Amazing. Must do in Belfast

    Ricky was a great character. Very informative and in depth. Showing both sides of the troubles. Very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. The tour itself is very eye opening and Ricky gives a great insight on how this affected him growing up in the area.

    The Highlight of My Belfast Trip: Ricky’s Insightful Guided Tour

    The guided tour with Ricky covered not only the many points I had already read about, but also introduced several others. The entire tour was accompanied by well-founded and impartial explanations based on real lived experiences. I considered this guided tour to be the highlight of my trip to the incredibly interesting city of Belfast.

    Recommended Political Taxi Tour

    During a short break in Belfast with my sister we booked a political taxi tour with Steven as our guide. He was very knowledgeable of Belfast's history and troubles, had many stories to tell, giving us a balanced view of life on both sides of the wall. A complex situation indeed. Stephen had a friendly manner and I would highly recommend a tour with him. Thank you.

    Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours 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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 92 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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours?

    +

    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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours 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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours?

    +

    Around 32 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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours 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 Original Private Belfast Troubles and Peace Cab/Taxi Tour 2 Hours?

    +

    Included: Pickup from Belfast city center (1 km radius from Belfast city hall). Not included: Pickup from airports,train stations and cruise ship ports (surcharge to be paid on the day. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
