Falls Road
Walk along the famous Falls Road, the heart of the Irish nationalist community, and visit my old school, St. Comgall’s, where the events of 1969 marked the beginning of the Troubles. As we explore together, I’ll share personal memories and stories that bring Belfast’s history to life in a way only a local can.
International Wall
Discover one of the world’s largest open-air art galleries, where internationally renowned murals tell the stories of Belfast’s communities, political history, resilience, and hopes for the future. You’ll also see a mural featuring my own photograph, commemorating Belfast’s first Irish cultural festival in Northern Ireland.
Shankill Road
Passing through the famous Peace Gates, we’ll enter the neighbouring Shankill Road to explore the history, traditions, and identity of the Protestant and unionist community. Visit powerful loyalist murals, memorial gardens, and hear the stories of both communities with respect, balance, and understanding.
Catholic and Protestant communities
Throughout the tour, I share an honest and impartial insight into life during the Troubles, explaining how both Catholic and Protestant communities experienced the conflict, and how the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 helped shape the peaceful Belfast we know today.
Bobby Sands Mural
The tour finishes at the world-famous Bobby Sands Mural while also visiting hidden streets, memorials, and places that reveal the resilience, strength, and spirit of Belfast and its people.
