Thank you to Frank for an enjoyable and eye opening tour of Belfast. Although I’m from Belfast I had no idea of the varied and colourful history of the people and a city I thought I knew well. Frank obviously knows his stuff and his passion for telling his personal stories with a balanced approach, along with some friendly Northern Irish humour, made for a very entertaining tour.

Many thanks for this Elizabeth. Welcome on board the good ship BelfastLad & Co

The conflicting stories taxi tour was an absolutely remarkable experience. It truly is such a great privilege and honor to be able to hear the stories from real people who experienced this history. Francis and Mickey were amazing. Both men experienced horrifying events and lived through what many of us can’t imagine. Regardless of them being on either side, one thing was abundantly clear: both care deeply about their country and its people and are passionate about promoting a positive future. I commend them both for their bravery, their dedication and passion in sharing their stories, and teaching history in its most raw and authentic form. This tour is more expensive than the generic black taxi cab history tours you’ll find on most travel websites, but it is absolutely worth it. My only complaint is I wish it was even longer. I learned so much from both of them. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Belfast who wants to learn, accurately, about the city’s history. This tour really impacted me for the better. Thank you so much for providing this.

Many thanks Lily, it was a pleasure to tell you the real story of the Troubles. Hurry back!

Great tour really enjoyed it, learnt so much about the history of Belfast, people and places that I never knew existed and would never have had the opportunity to learn about if I had not gone on the tour. Highly recommended!!

Many thanks Ashleigh, you have two tickets to the Christmas special tour. Just drop me an email to confirm at f.j.higgins@gmail.com

Great GhostTour/Walk last night. I'm from Belfast and know the City centre well but Francis showed us places I've never heard of and told us stories about those places. Francis is very knowledgeable about his subject and passes on this knowledge in a way that keeps you fully interested. It was really fascinating visiting these places at night, in the dark and hearing about, not only our recent troubles, but also things that happened a few hundred years ago. I think this tour will stay with me for a long time. Thankyou Francis.

Many thanks Iris. You have two tickets for our Christmas special graveyard tour.

We were recommended to take the Conflicting Stories Taxi tour on our trip to Belfast and it was the highlight of our trip. It was just amazing to hear the stories first hand from men on both sides who had actually lived through the troubles. We were brought through the whole history of the troubles by visiting all the sites in Belfast. These men are so knowledgeable. If you want a true experience, I would definitely recommend this tour.

Everything that all previous reviews have praised plus more. What a wonderful tour with the most passionate Irishman we’ve ever met!

We had a wonderful day touring Northern Ireland. Frank is very knowledgeable about the history and geographical sites. Our experience was so much better than a generic tour groups. Not only was it tailored to what we wanted to see, Frank went above and beyond to show us so much more. I highly recommend booking, it is worth it!

Frank took the time to supplement our research and bring our family history to life, expertly weaving it through the broader stories of Belfast. He was knowledgeable, empathetic, and well-reasoned but most importantly he was kind and welcoming. Frank wove hundreds of years of history into human stories, some of which were his own lived experiences during the Troubles. . We were sorry to see the day end. It was a truly priceless experience.

We did the ghost/paranormal tour with Francis last night.
I thought I knew Belfast but not like this! Totally engrossing and crammed full of historical facts. I'm a real skeptic and thought it was going to be one of those shock horror things with a bit of an excited eejit, but my goodness was I proved wrong.
I highly recommend it to anyone, I could very easily have listened to Frank for another couple of hours. Brilliant.
