An extraordinarily informative walking tour through the history of Belfast. Even on a dreary, windy day, our tour guide Miley made the time fly (and the years flip past) as she took us through the events of the Troubles. She was empathetic and engaging- a terrific tour guide.

Finally did the History of Terror tour this morning and it did not disappoint. Our tour guide Anne was excellent and explained the history of this place so clearly and concisely. I'm a local who lived throught the troubles, grew up during them, and it was so interesting to hear about individual bombings and attacks in and around our city centre, and the names of some of the poor victims. Anne also showed us a wall monument in memory of the victims, which seems to have been there since 1976, and l never knew it existed. Terrific walking tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DC’s Walking Tour – Horror Stories of Belfast We’ve just been on DC’s Walking Tour: Horror Stories of Belfast with Anne, and it was absolutely excellent. Anne was a fantastic guide - really engaging, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating information. She shared plenty of historical detail along with personal insights, which made the whole experience even more interesting. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast or looking for something a bit different to do.

James gave us a wonderful tour, full of interesting information; it put Belfast's recent history in perspective for me and gave me a much better understanding of its past. I highly recommend this tour. The 2.5 hours flew by!

A great tour. Our guide, Mylie, was absolutely incredible—amazing mastery of the subject, engaging delivery, personable and knowledgeable. Wove together the history of Belfast with a great view on the city’s present.

One of the best walking tours I've ever experienced. Our guide, Mylie, was exceptional. She was welcoming, friendly and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. The tour was incredibly interesting and insightful and I felt totally engaged with all Mylie had to tell us about the troubled past of Belfast and Northern Ireland. Mylie shared with us lots of information and although it was difficult to process and remember all that she said, I felt I had learnt so much and could now understand all that had gone on much better. Thank you so much. I look forward to my next visit to Belfast and another DC Walking Tour.
