Black Taxi Cab Belfast Murals Tour

Black Taxi Cab Belfast Mural Tour - was established in 1970 and are the original and official Belfast black taxi cab tours company operated by taxi tours. We highly recommend this tour to educational groups of all ages visiting Belfast for the first time. They will experience an extraordinary story about the way people lived during some of the worst troubles Northern Ireland has ever suffered.

Their guides will take your student group on an educational and enlightening journey through sites of historical and political interest, explaining the significance of the Belfast murals and show you key landmarks throughout Belfast City. Your group will learn the history and politics of Belfast and Ireland, particularly about the period known as ‘the troubles.’

Your Belfast Tour guide will expertly explain to your school group how the murals help tell the story of the conflict and how we arrived at the current peace process. This Belfast Tour focuses on ‘both sides’ of the communities. Visiting the mainly Catholic (or Nationalist) Falls Road, then crossing the peace line or peace wall that continues to separate both communities, your group will then explore the mainly Protestant (or Unionist) Shankill Road. Both sides have used murals to tell their stories, celebrate their past, and raise awareness about how political decisions affected their communities.

All tours for student groups are provided in the original Belfast black cabs. During the tour, there will be plenty of opportunities for your group to take lots of photos along the route and ask their guide questions that will draw in from their personal experiences of growing up in Belfast giving them a unique insight into this period of history. Their guides are local people with local knowledge and have lived through the conflict in Belfast.
