West Belfast walking tour
Our West Belfast walking tour visits the Catholic Falls Road and Protestant Shankill Road. It explains the Troubles and peace process with stops at the famous murals, memorial gardens and peacewalls between the two communities.
Over 2 miles and 2.5 hours you will hear how the conflict we know as ‘the Troubles’ began, how it unfolded over the next 30 years and affected the two communities, what it was like to live here and how it’s legacy continues to affect the city and its people. The tour also explains the path to peace, and the challenges that still lie ahead of us.

“Private West Belfast Walking Tour with DC Tours – fantastic experience! From our first contact with Mark Wylie to our tour of West Belfast with James Ellson, DC Tours was fantastic to work with and we would give 10 stars if we could.”
“I went on a Troubles tour with a friend, and we had Gabe as our guide. Travelling in off-season meant we had the pleasure of a private tour. We had a great time touring around the city with Gabe and learning about specific incidents, but also his own personal experiences. My friend and I both work in the Tourism industry and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend touring with DC Tours, voted #1 for a reason!”
“This was hands down the best walking tour I’ve ever done. Mark was informative, funny, and personable. The content didn’t focus on one side vs another but rather a regular civilian perspective. I also really enjoyed how much of the focus was on how Northern Ireland can move forward.”
“It was massively interesting, sent my head spinning with thoughts and filled me with empathy, and immensely compelling. An absolute must for any traveller who wants to get under the skin of Northern Ireland today. ”
“It was the most memorable part of a fascinating trip to Northern Ireland.”
“This was the most thought provoking, informative and riveting tour I’ve ever experienced.”
“Little did we realise how this tour would help us leave two days later with the city having captured a place in our hearts.”
