Black Taxi Tour // Belfast Murals, Peace Wall, etc. // Recommended Company?

Does anyone have a specific company to recommend for a black taxi tour of the murals in Belfast?

There seem to be several options for online booking -- has anyone had a great experience with a company they'd recommend?
Thanks!

This is Norman Reilly's site, RS has interviewed Norman for his show. I contacted Norman for a tour and he set us up with one of his many drivers-it was very good. We took the train up from Dublin and John picked us up at the station in Belfast.
Interesting video on his home page.

Many thanks, Dave. The more I searched the more I saw about "fraudulent" sites and "imposters", etc.!

This is what I needed!

Thank you.

I see the price for the tours but how long is a tour of the murals in Belfast. Looks right up our alley.

photo-I thought I saw somewhere that their tours are about an hour and a half, and that jives with our experience.

After taking us around and explaining a lot to us, we were headed to our drop off point and our driver, John, asked us if we thought he was a Catholic or a Protestant-he was trying to check his success at being neutral in how he described events. I guessed wrong, One of the most memorable things we've ever done, anywhere.

The concierge at the Hilton in Belfast arranged one for us last year at the last minute and it was great. About an hour and a half long, 35€ for two of us.

We also used Belfast Tours last March, wonderful experience. The tour was about 90 minutes. I would also recommend reading the book “Say Nothing” before you go, gripping account of the times.
