As a kid in the Bronx you'd hear all about the troubles, see the political posters for the blanket men and walk past the Irish Northern Aid storefront on East 194 Street and Bainbridge Avenue. Today I was treated to a birdseye view of the Falls Road and Shankill and afforded a narrative from our driver, Bobby, that put it... More

Bobby was a hilarious and knowledgeable tour-guide. I learned much more than I could have from a guide book or from seeing the murals and memorials on my own. Definitely worth the money! More

Book on cabtoursNI.com and make sure you get Bobby. His tour was fascinating and his candor, passion and experience made the tour memorable on many fronts. If you think it's "touristy" (it is) or wonder why you would want to look at a bunch of painted walls, let Bobby's stories and knowledge educate and enlighten you. You'll understand Belfast and...

Bobby took us on a political history of Belfast in his cab and it was excellent. Three adults and a four-week-old baby and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Bobby is a great guide, we all learned a lot more about the history of Belfast and cannot recommend the tour highly enough. Lots more to see so we'll just have to... More

Really enjoyed this tour, I'm from Northern Ireland and still learned a lot and all of it delivered with great humour and genuine enthusiasm. A great way to get to know the city and hear what it was like to experience Belfast life during the troubles. Brilliant value for money. More

I had read reviews of multiple companies in advance of our stay and they all seemed to get good reviews, but I liked something that I saw on their website and booked with Bobby. In advance of the trip Bobby answered several questions I had about Belfast and the area we were staying in. We set a time for him... More

A colleague and I had a free couple of hours at the end of a conference so decided that rather than go shopping we would experience the history that we had grown up with . We weren't disappointed. Bobby was so knowledgable. More

the Republic or the "South" is a bit different than the "North" and Belfast is vastly different from Dublin, Cork or Galway- but is a must see. To fully appreciate the recent history of the North, you must take a tour with Bobby Walsh. I've walked Falls Rd. with a former IRA prisoner and spoken to folks on both sides... More
