The powerfullest history...
This was a tour given by an articulate and well informed local guy, who grew up in Belfast during the 60s and 70s, knew the history and was well-informed about current issues. He gave both sides of the story, and was able to let the facts speak for themselves. He knows the city very well indeed, and took us to lots of interesting/challenging/sobering murals and monuments. It was at our own pace, and he welcomed and answered all our questions. At the end, we both wrote something on the Peace Wall. So all of that was excellent, but the thing that made it an experience I'll never forget was that he'd lived through it, and he tried to be fair to both sides. It threw light onto Palestine/Israel, the border between India and Pakistan, and every other place in the world where there's contested ground, or where they're living through the aftermath. It brought the whole history of Ireland into clarity. Belfast's a really great city for a break, but spend 2h on this. Bring your 17/18 year old children. You will all learn something!

First hand knowledge-fascinating
Having grown up in the US hearing about The Troubles, this was informative and fascinating to learn what childhood in N Ireland was like during those times.

Must do trip when in Belfast
Did the 90 min tour with Joe who was really informative and happy to answer any questions in a non-biased way which can’t be easy having been raised during such turbulent times. There were points in the tour that I could feel my eyes well up at the sheer heartbreak of hearing some of the stories. I can’t believe that at my age I had no knowledge that to keep the peace segregation of communities by walls and gates was still in place all these years later - definitely recommend as a must do trip when in Belfast

Why this scores 93
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Black Taxi Belfast City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.
How much does Private Black Taxi Belfast City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $109 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 Private Black Taxi Belfast City 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 Private Black Taxi Belfast City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2,413 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular 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 Private Black Taxi Belfast City 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 Private Black Taxi Belfast City 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 Private Black Taxi Belfast City Tour?
+
Around 845 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 Private Black Taxi Belfast City 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.
