The best Belfast private tours

Most private tours in Belfast are black taxi tours, which is what makes this page look similar to the bus and taxi page. A local driver guide takes your group to the murals, the peace walls and the sites of the Troubles at your own pace. Tours last one to two hours and, at the time of checking, were listed from about £38 to £85.

For a full day out, there is a private tour of the Giant's Causeway and the Antrim coast, listed from about £699, which lets you choose your own stops along the Causeway Coastal Route. It suits families and small groups who want more flexibility than a coach tour allows.

How to choose

Many drivers grew up in the areas they show you, so ask about their background. Some tours focus on one side of the conflict, and others aim to show both, so read the description. Check whether the price is per person or per vehicle, and whether hotel or cruise port pick-up is included. Allow time after a taxi tour for Crumlin Road Gaol or Titanic Belfast, which are close to the route.
