Belfast Travel Forum

I'd like to do a black taxi tour of West Belfast but can't decide which taxi company to choose - there're at least ten leaflets that I've taken from the tourist office, and my guide recommends two of them: Black Taxi Tours and Original Belfast Black Taxi Tours. Has anyone had any experience doing such a tour with either of these? What companies would you recommend?
Thanks!

My guide - probably the same one - recommended the same 2 tours. I chose the the Black Taxi tour. We did the tour on Sunday 22th July and paid £25 (= up to 3 persons). The tour lasted about a hour and 15 minutes. The driver/guide was friendly and did explain a bit the background of the murals, the history of the Troubles and how the situation is today. A pity his mobile rang every 2 minutes. We visisted Shankill road - a "peace wall" - Falls road and then back to the centre of Belfast. If you don't know anything about the Troubles, I would advise a tour, but if you just want to see the murals, I would say do this on your own. There are not far from the centre, you can walk or take a bus.

I had a guest who wanted to o the taxi tour. I'm not sure which one it was (sorry) but this driver left from the front entrance at city hall. Very easy. The guy was very friendly, knowledgeable and it took nearly 3 hours.

My wife and l have been to Belfast twice in 9 months, we have phoned and checked the web for bus,taxi tours and we have done both.10 out of 10 for www.belfastsightseeingtours.com they our very professional and you can negotiate the tour price.The tour will bring you through the narrow streets up to Crumlin road jail and courthouse.The murals our master pieces and the peace walls are huge,we spent time looking for the best tour and price so if we can help www.belfastsightseeingtours.com
