Recommend 100%. - The tour with John was the highlight of my tour of Northern Ireland. He explains the events leading up to Bloody Sunday, the Massacre, aftermath and present day where family’s of the victims are trying to get justice. All this information comes from his heart due to his personal experience. He takes us round the streets, explains in great detail what happened and to whom. He also takes us round the murals and memorials where he explains what they represent. . He encouraged the group to ask questions which he answered in great detail. Best £6.00 pounds I’ve ever spent

Great walking tour - Tour from the brother of a victim of the Bloody Sunday massacre. It was informative from the incidents leading to the event and the aftermath upto current day where the families are trying to get justice for the victims. The tour takes you threw all the murals interspersed with personal stories of the people involved.

Do not miss! - This was fantastic. Our tour guide John, had his own brother murdered on Bloody Sunday. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided a sobering account of the Troubles and how Derry is doing since the Good Friday Agreement was signed.

A very informative tour with the benefit of eyewitness accounts - The Tour was Very Informative, gave a good introduction to the Area stretching from Free Derry Corner to just beyond the Museum, and its Recent History. Our Tour Guide, Noel was very forthcoming with personal tales of what he witnessed, and about people he knew, even introducing us to 1 of the Men depicted in a Mural (though I don’t think that happens every tour) - the Personal Touch and the Firsthand Accounts made it a genuinely special experience. Would definitely recommend!

Noel was a great tour... - Noel was a great tour guide. His personal experience of being there connected us to the place and events that day that no other walking tour has ever done before. It was both deeply informative and emotional.
