The Troubles Uncovered. An eye witness to history
PRIVATE TOUR
£190 per group of up to 10 people
Venue: Belfast
This immersive Belfast Troubles tour offers a rare and powerful experience, providing a first hand account of the conflict from a local guide who lived through the era.
Join your local guide, a true Belfast native, who personally witnessed and was impacted by the events of the Troubles, for an authentic and moving journey through the city's complex past. This is more than a history lesson: it's a chance ot hear personal stories and gain an understanding of the deep-seated issues that have divided communities for hundreds of years.
Your guide will share their own experiences and provide a unique, human perspective on the conflict, offering you insights you won't find in any history book. The stories of those who died and those who survived bring the turbulent history to life.
We visit the Falls Road, Peace Walls, the International Solidarity Wall and murals, Memorial Gardens, Clonard area and Bombay Street - scene of the early intense fighting.

Dennis Brosman. ToursbyLocals review
Wow, this was an incredible experience! We grew up in the '80s and knew about the Troubles, but really didn't understand them at all. Martin lived it. He takes you to the hot spots in Belfast and shows you pictures of what the area you're standing in looked like after a bombing, etc. Then you walk all over the battleground sites and also view the (still existing) walls that separate the Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. Wow, so real. It took me several days to process everything and write this review. It was a very emotional experience; we're better for having done the tour. I don't generally write glowing reviews, so know that my praise is legit. If you're interested in the Troubles, Martin is your guy.
With over 400 x 5* reviews, this tour has hosted a United Nations delegation from Australia: staff from the American Embassy in London & Washington: ERASMUS exchange students from across Europe: numerous academic & research students; the tour has been recorded & broadcast on Swiss Radio.
