In small groups of up to six per taxi, explore the Falls and Shankill neighbourhoods, see the political murals and Peace Walls, and hear the stories behind the Troubles and the city’s more recent history.

From Belfast, continue along the beautiful Antrim coast to dramatic Dunluce Castle, where admission is included.
