About This Tour

The most detailed Troubles-history private day trip found from Dublin - real stops on both Falls Road and Shankill Road, plus Titanic Belfast and the Ulster Museum. Led by named guide Paul Smith, this tour covers the Bobby Sands Mural and the Catholic Falls Road area, Titanic Belfast, the Protestant Shankill Road and its flashpoint/historic mural sites, the Botanic Gardens, and the Ulster Museum, which covers the Troubles and Northern Ireland's history in full context.

This is the most detailed look at Belfast's recent history among the city's private day trips, and it's handled with real care. Led by named guide Paul Smith, the tour visits both sides of the divide that defined the Troubles - the Bobby Sands Mural and the Falls Road area, historically associated with the Catholic/Nationalist community, and the Shankill Road, historically Protestant/Unionist, with its own flashpoint sites and murals - giving a genuinely balanced look at both communities rather than a one-sided account.

The Ulster Museum adds formal historical context, covering the Troubles and Northern Ireland's broader history in full, alongside the Botanic Gardens as a quieter counterpoint. Titanic Belfast, built on the real former Harland & Wolff shipyard site where the ship was designed and launched, rounds out the day's history.

The Troubles themselves ran from the late 1960s until the Good Friday Agreement formally ended the conflict in 1998 - and, notably, the number of physical peace walls across Belfast has actually grown since then, from around 20 at the time of the Agreement to more than 80 today, a genuine, if uncomfortable, fact this tour doesn't shy away from.
