"The tour then goes up the north coast to the Giant's Causeway and to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. That it is ranked second in the world and first in Ireland by Trip Advisor is an incredible achievement".
He added: "Even with the current travel restrictions, our mural tour is still attracting big numbers of bookings every day with tourists from across Ireland on staycation in Belfast making up the vast majority of those taking the tour".
John Goldrick, Director of Wild Rover Tours, said:"We could not have done it without Taxitrax pulling together with us and being the best at what we both do.
"The Taxitrax Black Taxi Mural Tour in Belfast is a special attraction that is intricate to our tour," he said.
