Belfast Black Taxi Mural Tour with Local Guide Hugh Jordan
A Journey Through the City’s Living History”
Your Belfast Black Taxi Mural Tour begins with a personal pick-up from your hotel, where you’ll be greeted by your local driver and storyteller, Hugh Jordan. Born and raised in Belfast, Hugh has lived through the city’s turbulent past and now shares his insider knowledge and personal experiences to bring Belfast’s history to life.
The journey starts on the Falls Road, a stronghold of Irish Republican heritage. Here, you’ll explore the powerful Republican murals, which portray themes of resistance, community, and the quest for equality. Hugh will explain the meaning and background of each mural, from tributes to hunger strikers to international solidarity artwork along the International Wall.
Next, you’ll cross through one of Belfast’s historic Peace Walls, which still physically divides some communities today. On the other side lies the Shankill Road, home to Unionist and Loyalist murals. These artworks offer a contrasting perspective, reflecting identity, history, and pride from the loyalist point of view.
Throughout the tour, you’ll have plenty of chances to stop, take photos, and engage in open conversation with Hugh — whose balanced, knowledgeable storytelling gives you a deeper understanding of both sides of the city’s past and its journey toward peace.
The tour concludes either back at your hotel or at a central Belfast location, close to popular attractions such as City Hall and St. George’s Market, perfect for continuing your exploration of the city.
By the end of this unforgettable experience, you’ll not only have seen Belfast’s most famous murals — you’ll have felt the spirit of the people behind them.
