A History of Terror

Congratulations to the very talented guys at Dead Centre Tours after their ‘A History of Terror’ walking tour in Belfast city centre won a major award.

The Luxury Travel Guide named their tour as ‘Tour of the Year’ in Belfast in their European Travel Awards.

The unique tour visits the sites of some of the most significant events of the Troubles that took place between 1971 and 1998 and is designed to deal with difficult subject matter as sensitively as possible while delivering an amazing experience for the guests - who clearly appreciate it.

They say: “The tour explains how the Troubles began, tells the stories of the people involved, their place in the conflict and the effect these attacks and incidents had on the city and its people. It also shows how far the city has come since the ceasefires and Peace Process.

“ Belfast City Centre is now an active, vibrant place, far removed from the time when it was secured with a ring of steel and security checkpoints at every entry point. The tour examines the dark past of our city through historical accounts and the stories of those involved.

“Our walking tour allows you to get a real feel for the history of the city – many of our guests say they have felt transported back in time through the rich and detailed story-telling.

“A History of Terror is recognised not only as the No.1 walking tour in the city, but also as one of the most unbiased, engaging and accessible insights into the conflict for visitors of nearly all ages.

“Thanks go to Paul for being a fantastic guide, to the guests who nominated us, and the judges who saw the quality in what we do and declared us the winners.”
