Cab Tours Belfast Black Taxi Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Had the most incredible tour with William. The tour was so informative and interesting. Williams did an amazing job of being unbiased and telling us so much about the Troubles and what it was like for the people in that time and until present day. We felt so honoured to hear the stories from someone...

Historical landmark

👍👍 Nice place for a casual walk and fresh air. It's good for kids to run around the ring or play hiding at the center rock. Not many people there at early hour of the day but slightly busy in mid of the day especially around 11am-2pm. So do pick a good time to avoid the crowd. Make sure keeping social...

Cathedral Quarter Belfast

Bonamargy Friary (State Care Monument)

Historical landmark

👍👍 So much history here and I was amazed to find the service mens graves from the two great wars here. Neither am I ashamed to say when I read their headstones it brings a tear, young men who have their all for my/our freedom. What a sacrifice. It moves me also when I see the headstone and it says, ‘an...
