“Tour takes place in small, central area of Derry. Flat, easy walk. Our tour guide John McKinney, brother of William McKinney (who was shot on Bloody Sunday) was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, informative and answered our many questions. And after everything he's seen and endured, he's still hopeful and positive. Highly recommend.”
Walk Belfast’s peace wall from both sides, see Troubles murals, and hear personal stories from ex political prisoners on a 3 hour tour.
“It’s very controversial and there are no solutions offered or even any constructive conversation about what the two governments are proposing to end the division. Sad First thing is to take down the wall - it is truly a false sense of security. Great Britain should give it back to Ireland without a sound. It’s Ireland land.”

Belfast Troubles murals and Peace Wall walk with local Marti. 3 hours of street art, history, and community hope for $36.11.
“We did this tour yesterday and firstly, we must give Marti credit for his knowledge on the troubles dating way back to 5-8000 bc. He is sure knowledgable! The tour felt like a school field trip as we were hit with a plethora of information from beginning to end. Questions are not always welcomed as the guide was quite rude to a lady in our group when asked about one of the many facts that we were given. This was within the first 10 minutes of the tour which sort of lost all of our full attention for the next 3 hours. The vast majority of the tour was really…”
