This private 2-hour World Famous Belfast City Centre Black Cab/Taxi Tour is led by guides who worked as drivers during The Troubles, providing firsthand accounts of the conflict. The tour uses an original London Cab or a luxury Mercedes taxi equipped with air conditioning and onboard WiFi. It starts with a 15-minute visit to Divis flats, a former British Army base at the foot of the Falls Road, passing through narrow streets featured in films like The Name of The Father. Next, the tour continues along the Falls Road for about 30 minutes, where the guide explains over 800 years of Irish history through murals painted by local residents, reflecting the Catholic community's experience. The route then passes Crumlin Road Gaol, a 19th-century prison that housed members of paramilitary groups until its closure in the 1990s. Afterward, the tour stops for 15 minutes at the International Mural Wall on Divis Street, which displays over 40 murals that change monthly, representing international causes connected to Republican views. The journey proceeds to Shankill Road for 20 minutes, known for Loyalist murals and the history of the UDA and UVF, including explanations of local traditions such as the July 12th bonfires. The tour also includes a 10-minute visit to Clonard Monastery, a gothic building where secret peace talks took place between political leaders. Finally, the tour stops for 15 minutes at the Peace Wall, erected in 1969 to separate Loyalist and Republican communities, featuring messages from notable figures like President Clinton and Morgan Freeman.
