About this activity

We are the only company in Belfast that can offer this combo tour that includes both the black taxi tour and the Crumlin Road Gaol Tour. We are the only Cab Tour company in Belfast that is jointly owned by Catholic and Protestant owners that give a fair, balanced and non-biased tour. Delve into the history of our wonderful city in one of our famous Black Taxi Tours.

Hear the stories behind our tumultuous history from our local guides.

Belfast was not on everyone’s list of cities to visit when we received global coverage of the violence here. Now, our city has lots to offer; from great hotels to Michelin Star restaurants, and a flourishing nightlife.

All of this can be enjoyed with some Belfast craic and banter.

Taxi tour of Belfast wall murals of the shankill road and the falls road as well as taking in the peace wall in West belfast
Shankill Road

Your Belfast Murals Tour begins in the Shankill Road area of Belfast which is (Protestant/British), where your Black Taxi Cab driver will explain a detailed history of the area.

We begin in 1690, when William of orange arrived in Ireland to defeat King James the 2nd at the famous Battle Of The Boyne. There will then be an explanation about the recent troubles, which started in 1969 and ended when the peace agreement was signed in 1998.

You will go for a short walk around the area, where your black taxi cab driver will explain the loyalist murals Belfast has in the area and what they represent. You will have the opportunity to take your own photographs of the Belfast murals.
Peace Wall

The peace walls were designed to separate the Catholic (Nationalist) and Protestant (Unionist) populations in Belfast. The first ‘peace lines’ were erected, following the outbreak of violence in 1969 in Northern Ireland.

They were built as temporary structures, meant to last only six months. Due to their effective nature, they were built higher, longer, and made permanent and are still here today. The peace walls are adorned with art and messages of hope from tourists.
International Mural Wall Divis Street

The final stop will be the International Wall, where you will see a variety of different murals in Belfast. The murals have a general theme of ‘highlighting oppression’ – from the race riots in America in 1969 to current events in Palestine.
