Taxitrax: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We had the best experience with Michael today! Very informative, moving and fun at the same time. I've waited years to do this, I'm thrilled with the experience we had.
Fantastic experience: Awesome tour and our driver, Billy, was the absolute best!
Fantastic experience: Great cab tour really enjoyed and lots of information given thanks
Fantastic experience: Great driver, interesting tour
Fantastic experience: We booked the taxi tour at the visit Belfast centre and were collected within 20 mins. We had a fantastic tour with Mickey ( apologies if this is wrong) who was extremely knowledgeable. It was by far the most interesting thing we did on our day in Belfast and would highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic experience: We had a great tour with Ann- Marie. Ann-Marie gave us an insight into the history from a local's perspective. Great highlight of our visit. Highly recommend.
Positive experience: The details of the on going clash shared by the driver, guide were eye opening and a bit sad at the same time. Good experience
Fantastic experience: Great service
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful tour guide in Brendan. He was so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and I would highly recommend booking this tour with him. Brendan was open about his own personal experiences and went above and beyond for us to answer all of the questions we had. We will be recommending this to all of our Australian friends/family.
Fantastic experience: We had a great tour, our driver was very knowledgeable about the experience,he could answer any questions and was very open about his involvement during the troubles, if you get Gerry as your driver, you’ll enjoy it immensely.
Fantastic experience: I had a Brilliant Taxi Tour with Seamus, he is super knowledgeable and shares lots of interesting facts. It was well balanced between the stories and information given. I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Lovely guide called Jim who was so knowledgeable and able to give us his first hand experiences, having grown up through the conflict. Lots of stops to get out and look at things close up. The tour was indepth and doesn't feel rushed. You cannot come to Belfast without doing this tour - it was both interesting and sad. I was surprised and shocked - lots of emotions. It opens your eyes to the reality of the troubles- totally a unique and fascinating experience! Don't pay the tour operators £100+, this is exactly the same tour but you cut out the tour operator fees!!
Fantastic experience: Our tour with Patrick was excellent. We saw a significant collection of murals in different sections of the city, including in both Catholic and Protestant areas. His knowledge of Northern Ireland, Belfast, and the Troubles was extensive, and intertwined with his own personal history. Even though it was only scheduled as a 90 minute tour, he made extra stops and took his time with our questions so we were out with him for two hours at no extra cost. One of the best tours we've ever been on.
Positive experience: The taxi murals tour was very interesting and stopped at many powerful memorials in West Belfast. Our guide took us to sights in both Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods, but the discussion of the conflict only presented the nationalist point of view. My husband and I were disappointed to only hear one side of the story.
Fantastic experience: Great trip this morning with our driver Tommy. Very informative and pleasant journey. Brian and Lorraine Dublin
Fantastic experience: Recently went on the taxi tour with Kieran, would highly recommend. He was very knowledgeable and patient, had a lot of time for people and a very nice chap. We learned a lot, real eye opener
Fantastic experience: I did the Murals tour recently with family and our tour guide, Kieran, gave us an amazing insight into all that has happened in Belfast throughout the historic years of 'the troubles'. He was so knowledgeable and extended the tour way longer than expected. We had many interesting stops along the way and an additional stop to visit Clonard Monastery. I would highly recommend this tour and it would be a real bonus if you have Kieran as your guide!
Fantastic experience: Our tour with Billy was the highlight of our stay in Belfast, if not for him we would have left feeling a little empty, he was very passionate and shared many personal experiences from his childhood. The tour was supposed to run for up to one and a half hours, Billy gave us two hours and we still didn't finish everything. I highly recommend this tour, and I hope everyone gets someone like Billy.
Fantastic experience: Find it very helpful resource and information that is available in terms of history and information about cultural rights derelict
Negative experience: Beware if you get Patrick as your driver! We did the murals tour and it was extremely disappointing! We didn’t stop at the majority of the stops. We only got to see the republican murals on the Falls road so it was very one sided. There were a number of other stops promised on the tour which we never got to see including the peace wall where you are suppose to be able to sign your name, the shankill road and also crumlin court and jail. We stood at the falls road for nearly 45 minutes while 3 other taxis pulled up and left again in that time! Patrick was really trying to drag it out, he had no intention of taking us to all the stops. He must’ve been trying to save on fuel costs! After the tour I rang the office numerous times to explain my disappointment with what had happened. Each time I was told they would investigate and call me back. Nearly a month later I am still waiting on the call back! I can’t believe the lack of professionalism and accountability! I am shocked that we had to pay £50 for a tour that we didn’t even see half of. It’s a complete scam! Save you money and go on the hop on hop off bus tour! At least you’ll get a chance to see all the stops and learn so much more for a fraction of the price!
Fantastic experience: Tommy our driver was knowledgeable and enlightening. The detail on the tour made the difference, no matter how much you think you know. Highly recommend the tour it was really interesting. Big thanks to Tommy.

Fantastic experience: Tour was amazing ronnie went above and beyond his job to educate us. Very knowledgeable gent. Highly recommend this tour I loved it
Fantastic experience: We had Joseph as our driver, who was very punctual and articulate in explaining the history of the conflicts. Really enjoyed the tour and would recommend people coming to Belfast for the first time to get a tour via the Black Cabs as a great way to get to know the city’s past and present.
Fantastic experience: Black taxi tour with Joe Skelly We arrived in Belfast on early flight from Edinburgh on Monday 3rd August, our airbnb host Barry arranged for his Uncle Joe to collect us from the City Centre and provide a tour experience of the murals while our apartment was being made ready. Our knowledge of the troubles was limited and Joe took this on board as he provided us with a great history lesson filling in the detail with his extensive knowledge and personal experience. Joe was very entertaining and I would highly recommend the tour for anyone visiting Belfast, my daughter preferred this tour to the Titanic exhibition!
Fantastic experience: The Trax taxi tour of Belfast (with our guide Mark) was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. Fascinating history and modern day insight from someone who lived through the Troubles. If you're in Belfast, I would prioritize doing this tour.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic tour with kieron, honest, knowledgeable and balanced information. Learned loads and throughly enjoyed the morning. Can recommend, excellent value for money. Thanks again keiron. Jo & Linda.
Fantastic experience: Whilst in Belfast for September weekend, we booked Taxi Trax for the taxi tour. Our driver, Mickey, was very knowledgeable, with a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend doing the tour if visiting Belfast.
Fantastic experience: Very good
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Eamonn, our guide yesterday, on a tour of the Belfast murals. My son and I learned so much about the history of Belfast and the Troubles from his detailed and unbiased narrative. We thoroughly recommend this tour and have already decided we will do it again sometime. Well worth doing and excellent value for the price.
Fantastic experience: Top service. Always out and avout on the road. For some people to know they are not a private taxi service and you cannot phone for them to come pick u up. They operate similar to buses and are public. The main route is from the town up the falls, Andytown road and stewartstown road and Ardyone. Nipping i to various areas like Ladybrook, Twinbrook so on. The desintation sign will show in the front window.
Fantastic experience: Very much appreciated the fair recounting of The Troubles. Invaluable insights into the history and challenges remaining. Worth the time! Thank you as well to Patrick, our guide. Well done!
Fantastic experience: We used this service for a black cab tour with jimmy! He was an amazing tour guide that gave us a lot of information about all the history I brought my brother up for the day especially the tour and he loved every minute of it jimmy couldn’t do enough for us and my brother Eric said he was the nicest man he has ever met this will defiantly be a trip for him to remember I thank you so much for everything we had a really good trip :) Thank you Roslyn, Danielle and Eric
Fantastic experience: Joe was amazing! He was able to articulate the history of the troubles really well and kept it as fact based as possible. He answered all our questions and made the Belfast tour memorable. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Fantastic experience: My wife and 4 kids took the political tour.Our kids ages are 18,14,11 and 9 and from the start of the tour to the finish our driver Patrick had each of us enthralled.The kids learned more in 2 hours about The Troubles in Northern Ireland than they would in 10 years of school.This is a must do tour when In Belfast and if your lucky enough to get a driver called Patrick then you are in for a great tour.
Fantastic experience: Taxitrax offer the best Black taxi tours in Belfast
Fantastic experience: When u need a black taxi up the balls of the falls, always try to avoid being the " middle man" , being sandwiched between two people in the back of the tax.not good
Fantastic experience: Done this tour on the 16th of August with my wife.we had a absolutely brilliant trip and experience.our driver for the evening was Kevin (barry) Kelly he was brilliant.thank you Taxi taxi and kevin
Fantastic experience: A very intense two-hour encounter with the Northern Ireland conflict. The main sites are explained, and individual fates are also highlighted. There were enough opportunities to ask questions, all of which were answered very competently. Absolutely recommendable!
Fantastic experience: Our guide Patrick was wonderful, personally addressed our questions and did more than he had to.
Positive experience: Authentic but quite expensive!
Positive experience: Good value and friendly workers
Fantastic experience: Great
Negative experience: Kieron gave a very one sided, republican bias tour, would have thought the Ira were saints, been on 2 other black cab tours were the drivers were fair, balanced and didn't twist history, not this one though
Positive experience: Some times there is a massive queue, other times you jump right into a taxi. Make time for delays of 20 minutes before deciding to jump in for the normal taxi service. Other than that, cheapest way up the falls road and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Very good taxi service very friendly great with kids and were on time will be using again
Fantastic experience: Treated to a fabulous murals and peace line tour by Mickey, loved every minute of it !! An enthusiastic local resident with passion for his city..,
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant tour. Paul knew everything about the troubles! A genius with names and dates! One of the best tours I've done with a very proffèssional company. They were there before the time waiting and answered every question.really made it memorable
Fantastic experience: I did the Mural tour with Pat. It was Brilliant, he stayed very enthusiastic throughout despite probably having done many many tours and he did a great job explaining everything to my Peruvian girlfriend who has little knowledge of Irish history
Fantastic experience: Falls road, black taxi, best in the West, still the same.
Fantastic experience: We did the murals and political tour today and our guide Gerard was amazing. Can not recommend this highly enough, if you are visiting Belfast then you need to take this tour. Gerard was super knowledgeable and really put things into context with personal history and experience. Would definitely do it again, thanks Gerard!
Fantastic experience: We had a tour with Kevin who was great. He was never rushed us an tailored the tour to our questions and interest. This is a must if you are in Belfast.
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Negative experience: Bunch of bellends
Negative experience: After watching a political tour from one of your drivers I can only say that as a lower shankill resident I'm disgusting in the one sided approach and how your driver continually belittled the residents of the lower shankill and of the protestant culture as a whole
Negative experience: We took their mural tour. Driver seemed bored out of his skull doing that again, he somehow avoided answering any questions. An hour in the tour we just wanted to get off and see everything ourselves especially since he insisted i was ignorant of the situation in Belfast as a foreigner and kept trying to explain in all detail who Bobby Sands was. He made a couple of huge faux pas like calling Ocalan a Turk and was continuously in my face if i disagreed with anything. Not very pleasurable but it saves you getting wet from the rain.
Fantastic experience: Great service
Positive experience: Does anyone know if black taxis are open today
Negative experience: Asked for a taxi from Dunmurry and the operator said they only did west Belfast, thought Dunmurry was west Belfast, and he called me rude for saying so and hung up!! Avoid these clowns, I can't imagine what the drivers are like if the phone operators are that bad.
