I booked this political tour with our guide Charlie who was very knowledgeable of the trouble years and thoroughly enjoyed learning the history while visiting this historic area. This tour was the highlight of my visit to Belfast and should not be missed and I fully appreciate all the information Charlie provided  to make this a memorable experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Free Walking Tour about the Troubles and Peace with Charlie and enjoyed it very much. It was highly informative and gave us a good overview over the complicated past of the city which still influences the present life.

Charlie knows a lot of stuff and has the gift to present it in an understandable way. One of the best guides I have met so far.

Charlie did a fantastic job explaining the history of each place we visited, guiding us through the different phases Northern Ireland has gone through while adding some great local folklore along the way. All the best, Charlie!
