Well done. Paul was engaging on all levels. Informative tour. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in attempting to understand the terrible times.

Steve was a great guide & full of knowledge. Very informative, we enjoyed it very much, even on a very cold day!..........

Our guide, Paul was very knowledgeable, not just about the history in books, but the lived experience of the times. The tour was well organized, and the headsets came in very handy on the noisy, crowded city streets. This was a walking tour covering a small area, not a tour going out into different neighborhood blocks, so there are different tours for that, but we learned an incredible amount about what the city was like during the troubles, and how this impacts life even a quarter of a century later.

What can I say ? James our guide was an absolute font of knowledge, the tour was excellent. So informative with some humour thrown in too for good measure. Will definitely book another tour soon with DC Tours. We were a party of 6 include friends from other parts of the UK. Definitely a 10/10 from all of us . .

Such an incredibly interesting and fascinating historical walking tour. Our guide was amazing and had first hand knowledge of what he was talking about. I cannot recommend this tour enough! I believe our guide’s name was David, sorry it’s been a while, but he was the best!

Amazing tour with Finn as our guide, so knowledgeable and polite. He got our total attention from the first minute he started talking. We learned so much about the city and "The troubles" and I think that for those who want to know more about the history of Belfast, they cannot miss this tour. It was the best 2.5 hours of our weekend, I will come back and do it again! Thank you so much.

This tour makes sure that details, spots, names and faces surrounding the Troubles are not forgotten while simultaneously not picking a side. When visiting Belfast this is an essential part of understanding some of the city’s and Northern Irelands history. Our guide Steve answered every question patiently and made sure everyone was comfortable. Even though he talked for over 2 hours he never seemed tired and delivered every information with precision. Feel free to pick his brain he’s got so many valuable insights! Thank you for the amazing tour and for keeping history alive! Definitely will do more research on the topic in the future!

An educational experience peppered with personal stories for a better understanding of the longstanding issues.

This is a fantastic tour. The local guide was very be knowledgeable and brought great insight into Belfast's old and recent history. The tour guide naming the victims caught in the crossfire of the troubles made this about people - not statistics - and the impact this had on an entire population. A very informative and empathetic tour, that handles a difficult subject with sensitivity and dignity. I would highly recommend for anyone who was wants to know that there is light at the end of the dark tunnels in this world.

A warm welcome from Paul who handed us over to Fin who was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable, welcomed questions and provided answers to all questions raised. Very interesting and formative tour Well done Fin

This was one of the best walking guides I’ve been on in any city I’ve visited (and there have been many). Steve, the guide, was nothing short of brilliant. Facing up to a subject matter that has ample potential for conflict - and where emotions could have run high - was never going to be easy but Steve struck a balance worthy of a high wire trapeze artist This was a balanced, informative and fascinating history of the causes of the “conflict” in the 12 century to modern day Belfast and the hopes and aspirations for future peace. At times I was moved to near tears when hearing of individual victims of atrocities - on both sides - This tour should be at the top of the “to do” list for anyone who has the faintest interest in the history of this beautiful city and its marvellous peoples

This was an excellent tour. It was a short walk around the city centre, starting with an TED Talk level overview of the history of Ireland, then a tour around some very nondescript locations in Belfast City Centre where incidents happened, with our guide painting a detailed and fascinating picture of each event, including names and timelines and interesting details, photographic material and a seemingly infinite patience for questions. Most of the stories were brutal and shocking, but if you're signing up for a "terror tour" you're already expecting that. What really made it stand out was our guide, Paul Donnelly, who has a wonderful way of breaking your natural sense of horror at the stories with a perfectly-timed joke or distraction. Paul really made the tour for us, and if you're lucky enough to get him as a guide you'll see why. His life history and community/civil involvement make him really the perfect person to give you this tour. If you're looking to understand the history of this town, I could not recommend it more.

It was a fascinating tour, led by James. He studied politics and was brought up in Belfast during the Troubles, so really knew his stuff!!! Definitely something to do to understand these troubled times. Northern Ireland has much to educate the world with how to attain peace when it feels impossible to achieve, as experienced in many parts of the world today.

Booked based on TA reviews and enjoyed the tour with lots of information. Weather was cold which whilst the tour company can do nothing about and warns you to wrap up, for a walking tour there was lots of standing around for long periods which was not conducive for the weather and more movement would have helped. Felt a little pressure into giving a review as understand it generates income but felt unless giving 5* don’t do it! Would recommend as it gave a lot of information but be prepared to stand around

A vivid, humane and engaging tour. James managed the feat of bringing a difficult recent past to life with humour but also tact, sensitivity and thoughtfulness. A fantastic experience for people familiar with Northern Ireland or passing through. Thanks James
