Our Belfast Mural Tour is a private tour that is the perfect tour for those that wish to travel in privacy. But also in luxury. This private tour shows and tells the stories of Belfasts' history along with the breath-taking truths that held the city back for so many years. The tour is hosted in one of our Luxury Mercedes vehicles to create an experience in the best atmosphere possible! Belfast City was once one of the most divided cities in Europe especially from the 60's through to the early 2000's. With small changes in society there has been more inclusion from both sides and a cultural shift to a more relaxed view on the politics that once governed Belfasts' streets. The Belfast Mural Tour will bring you back in time to the era of differences. Your local guide will tell the stories and bring you to the areas that would often be seen as crime hotspots! These tours are filled with incredible insights and anecdotal stories from guides that lived in the very areas you visit!
