Telling Belfast’s Story, One Wall at a Time
JK Tours is a locally-owned tour company based in the heart of Belfast. We specialize in political and historical tours that give you an honest look at the city’s divided history—and the communities working to heal from it.
Our guides are proud Belfast locals, many of whom lived through the Troubles. They share personal experiences alongside historical context to help you understand the meaning behind the murals, the purpose of the Peace Walls, and the legacy of conflict that still shapes everyday life.
We don’t offer scripted tours—we offer real conversations.
