tours in Belfast

I had read about and posted earlier about the black taxi tours in Belfast; now I just saw favorable reviews of other tours. Does anyone know of Paddy Campbells, Belfast Mural tours or ken Harper. HOw do these compare with the black taxi tour. we will probably only choose to do one tour
.thank you

You may want to tag this "UK" as Belfast is not located in Ireland.

I took the 90 minute open top bus tour. It is a good intro to the city.

I saw Anthony Bourdain do the Black cab tour and have wanted to do it since. I have heard the open top bus tour is good though. I think the Black cab tour is one where you can ask more questions since it is one on one. When are you going? We are looking at doing Belfast next trip and then head on to Bushmills and Londonderry.

The open top bus tour (either company, I think there's at least two) is a good overview, driving along both the Falls and Shankhill roads.

We also did a personal Titanic tour with www.titanictours-belfast.co.uk - Susie Millar gave us a great tour which uniquely includes Thomas Andrew's house - now a football organisation office and the front garden is a car park, but you can still see the wonderful staircase and feel what it might be like as Titanic's designer's family home.

I can also highly recommend a tour of The Crum, the Crumlin Road Prison.
