The perfect place to spend a few hours when in Belfast.Fascinating insights into the history if the troubles and the Gaol.
If you only have time to do one thing in Belfast, do this. This is a guided tour and our guide Eoghan had me and my partner captivated from start to finish, I really can't recommend it highly enough. I would also reoommend that you wrap up warm. The tunnel and C Wing were very cold.
Great experience. Went on the visit with a group of men. The guide was excellent, explaining the history of the gaol in great detail, and making it interesting with a bit of Belfast humor. Altogether a worthwhile day out. Recommend to anyone local and visiting Belfast.
Take a step back in time and visit this historic goal. Parking facilities are excellent and the tour itself leaves you imagining what life was like for those unfortunate enough to spend part of their lives there. If you ever wondered where the word hangover came from all will be explained. Be certain not to miss the opportunity to walk through the tunnel linking the jail with the courthouse across the road. What a pity that building has not been developed as a tourist attraction.
Tours had too many people on them but guides were well informed with interesting stories to tell.Didn't like the cafe. The cakes were horrible. Need a much better selection
The tour was well set out and informative. Roy, our tour guide, was very good and was able to answer any questions. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast.
Very interesting tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept the momentum going. This can be difficult when speaking about historical facts, especially something as dark as prison history. It was very cold!
its modern history which must not be forgotten and the story is told with passion and well worth a visit
We didn't know about this until we saw a leaflet in our hotel, and it was one of the best things we did in Belfast. Very eerie in places but really fascinating, highly recommended but not for anyone who is claustrophobic, as you visit the tunnel to the courts across the road.
Had a great tour here, sadly cut short by work commitments. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and full of interesting insights into life in the gaol. Hope I get a chance for a full visit in future!
