Follow in the footsteps of celebrities, statesmen, media types and the insatiably curious by taking one of these Black Taxi Tours. This company's fleet of experienced and knowledgeable drivers serves up the city's modern and historic story with a wit and irreverence only a local could get away with. Sit back in your 'black hack' (slang for these iconic vehicles) and let your driver recount the many highs and lows the city has experienced in its progression from troubled times to today's renaissance.

Historical and Political Tours take in West Belfast's Falls and Shankill Roads where you can see the famous murals and add your autograph to the Peace Wall. Informative Tours focus on the city's architectural gems, shopping highlights and emerging Titanic Quarter. And Personalised Tours can transport you to anywhere your heart desires - how about a trip to George Best's and CS Lewis's childhood stomping grounds? Or maybe you have a particular destination in mind.

If you fancy venturing beyond Belfast, you can also take a North Antrim Coast Tour or St. Patrick & Strangford Lough Tour. The former visits the unmissable trinity that is the Giant's Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge and Bushmills Whisky Distillery. And the latter transports you to Co. Down's Mount Stewart House and Gardens, St Patrick's grave and the Mourne Mountains' magnificent Spelga Dam.

Cruise Ship passengers, and those with less time to spare, can avail of a combination of the above to ensure you see as much as possible during your short stay.

Whatever tours you choose, book a taxi transfer from your arrival point and immerse yourself in the 'real' Belfast from the off. Individuals, groups and corporates are catered for, and all taxis are disability friendly and wheelchair accessible.
