Really informative and interesting for everyone, especially for people who are interested in history and in hearing an neutral perspective on the topic of the history of the NI-Conflict. Would absolutely recommend and would book it again.

Paul was very informative at each stop along the tour but also with general information about Belfast. Would highly recommend if interested in the history of this great city.

Paul was very informative. Would highly recommend. Been to Belfast many times and this is the first we’ve done a walking tour. Will definitely do another. DC Tours thank you.

I learned a lot on this walking tour. I liked that he showed pictures along the way to give you a better sense of the terrors in the past.
