The BEST tour in Derry! - The BEST tour!
We had a private tour on Saturday with Angela as our guide through the bogside and city walls and we could have walked with her and listened and talked for hours and hours. So special to have a local guide, the tour was so amazing and educational.
We could not recommend this tour enough, a must if you are visiting Derry.

Derry guided tours - Gleann was informative, interesting, humorous and the whole tour was very moving! Everybody in the UK should be made aware of the true reasons behind the troubles! This is explained perfectly by Glan, as we would call him in Wales!
Pob lwc Glan!!

First hand history tour. - Make the time and spend the money to have a private tour. Our tour guide is a teacher in the Derry school system and had tons of personal connection to the historic troubles in Derry . Extremely professional guide who introduced us to many little know facts of life in Derry.

Là ra top Derry Girl! - A private tour was new to me. I’m so glad I did it. Our guide Là ra, is part of the community. Her knowledge was incredible, a lived experience. I found the walk very emotional so I’m glad it was just my friend, Là ra and I. I was able to ask all the questions I wanted. Something that would not be possible in a large group.

Powerful tour - Great tour. I thought I had some knowledge of the troubles but this tour really brought it to life. Angela our guide was excellent, really informative and explained the whole history of the troubles to us back as far as the siege of Derry to more recent times. I'd recommend this tour to anyone.

Great insightful tour. - Our guide Noel was great and added a lot of experience to the tour. The walk itself was very manageable. We learned a lot about Bloody Sunday and the bog side murals. We asked a lot of questions and Noel was very patient and knowledgeable.

Fascinating! - Glenn Doherty is an excellent guide. He explained the history, pointed out important sites and patiently answered questions. We had walked past some of the sites and not known why they were significant. Definitely recommend!! Well worth the time.
