The familiar London-style Hackney cabs arrived in West Belfast at the height of the Troubles and provided an invaluable hop-on, hop-off  service when regular schedules were severely disrupted. Though the Troubles are a thing of the past, the black taxis remain and are very much a part of the local community. Driven and guided by a native in the know, passengers get a lot out of these Wall Murals, Historical, Political and Belfast Landmarks Tours. Give Taxi Traxs a call if you have a customised version in mind.  City centre hotel pick-ups - included in the price - make for a hassle-free adventure.

90min Belfast City tours from £10pp. Min £30 per tour.

  BLACK TAXIS ARE THE BEST! THEY'VE NEVER LET ME DOWN AND THERE'S ALWAYS A NEW EXPERIENCE. WHETHER IT'S SHARING A STORY WITH A WEE OLD LADY OR LISTENING TO TO THE DRIVER SINGING ELVIS IN THE FRONT. FULL OF CHARACTER AND VERY EFFICIENT. WHEN THE BUSES ARE DOWN THE BLACK HACKS ARE STILL GOING AND THERE'S NO NEED TO RUN TO THE BUS STOP!
