Highlights
This unique tour has been validated and approved by US Academics who are expert in the fields of Conflict resolution and Human Rights.
This experience tells the story of the political and violent struggles that both created partition and the societal conditions that caused the 'Troubles. ' This is a hard-hitting tour that covers some of the worst crimes and atrocities that were perpetrated by both sides and also offers insights into how the final political chapters of this long lasting conflict will end. The tour is undertaken by a qualified teacher, author and lecturer in Irish history and includes first-hand accounts of the killings, murders, and bombings of an inter-community conflict that has been ongoing for over 250 years.
