Excellent - Big ups to John. The tour was informative, detailed, but most of all highly moving. A great chance to learn a history told through someone who has lived it and connect with another human

An eye opening tour for life at the beginning of the troubles in Northern Ireland. - Brilliant! I was born and raised in Belfast. I married my husband from North Carolina, USA in 1996 and headed to live in USA and that was that. As someone who was born and raised during the troubles I had no idea about the issues living as a Catholic in Derry. The tour was an eye opener and John our tour guide took us to sites that were personal to him and shared his story. I don't think you can get better than a primary resource for history. It was incredible to see the footage and hear what happened on Bloody Sunday. It is important to know the past so that we can move forward. Thank you for an eye opening experience! I truly recommend this tour.

A walk through history for all ages and agility - John McKinney was more than amazing. For those worried about the walking, we only walked 1-2 blocks at a slow pace. John was quite patient with all of our questions. He lost his oldest brother in Bloody Sunday and thankfully there is a beautiful memorial for his brother William. Really enjoyed the discussion. Lots of info in a short time .
