The Troubles Through Local Eyes: A Belfast Story

As a local guide with in-depth knowledge of British and Irish history, I bring unique insights from living through the Troubles years. I love sharing engaging stories and little-known facts that make the city’s history come alive in an unforgettable way.

Tour Description:

Explore Belfast’s history of the Troubles through both sides—Protestant & Catholic, Unionist & Nationalist, Loyalist & Republican. Walk the Falls and Shankill Roads, see powerful murals and landmarks, and hear hidden local stories and insights only a true local can share.

Some of the areas we will visit:

Loyalist side 

• Welcome mural on Shankill road 
• The Bayardo Bar Memorial
• Omagh bomb Memorial Garden 
• Ulster Tower Mural 
• VE Day & 36 (Ulster) Division Murals
• Ulster Covenant Mural 

Republican side

• Welcome mural on Falls road 
• Divis Tower and murals
• The International ("Solidarity") Wall 
• Republican Garden of Remembrance
• The Hunger Strikers Memorial 
• Bobby Sand Mural 

Along the tour I will also explain the history behind the Troubles in a larger context and also explain the road to peace and the 1998 Peace Agreement.

All questions will be answered and the tour will be delivered in a impartial professional way

Please note:

This is a authentic boutique tour given by a real local with first hand knowledge of the Troubles and the country in general. It is not a tour provided by a generic tour company. Please come on my tour and I will show you the real Belfast!
