Description

DC Tours are the No.1 Troubles Tour company in Belfast. Our self-guided walking tour of West Belfast explains the history of ‘the Troubles’ in Northern Ireland and the path to peace.

Not only will you discover the stories behind the world famous murals and the imposing peacewalls which divide our communities to this day, but so much more cultural and social history along both the Catholic Falls Road and Protestant Shankill Road.

Join Paul Donnelly (Top UK Tour Guide 2019) to explore over 30 locations in West Belfast at your own speed and in your own time.

The tour will help you to discover how and why the Troubles started, the stories of those involved, the realities of our lives and our hopes and challenges for the future.

Very good but could fix a few logistics

The two free tours that are actually of Belfast (some you have to pay for, and some are places well outside of Belfast), are very good. They cover a lot of ground and teach you interesting facts about the city. They cover a reasonable distance most able-bodied people could handle just fine, and the accompanying pics are helpful. Also, the narration’s transcript is a great way to make the content accessible for all!

I do wish the order of the sites made more sense. In the Your Belfast tour, the tour has you walking up and down and crossing back and forth on the same street a lot instead of just discussing each site as you would encounter them. This can make things harder to find (for those of us who don’t have data plans abroad and can’t just pull up a map) and succeeds in making you look lost to people watching you. (Side note: the people of Belfast are super kind and offer to help you a lot when this happens!) I also wish there was a little bit of a break between items in each of the sites on the Your Belfast tour to give you time to get to them. There is a pause button, but because the narrator doesn’t so much as take a breath before moving on, it can be easy to miss when you’re supposed to move. Finally, I wish the narration would not unpause itself while you’re getting from place to place. Overall, though, this is solid, and it helped make my trip to Belfast great!
