Traveler reviews
Impressive
Jimmy Toye was very invested in the tour which gave it impact. Jimmy has first hand experience but was balanced in his telling of the events. He was impressive how he managed to speak with warmth, humour and respect whilst obviously being traumatised by the events in his community. I found it very emotional.
A memorable experience.
This was a fantastic tour with a guide who ‘lived’ the events and location of the background to and details of Bloody Sunday. Jimmy dealt with a difficult member of the group with empathy. She clearly had preconceived opinions and could not accept the information from our guide. We would recommend this tour. A group who gets Jimmy as their guide is most fortunate.
A MUST do in Derry
Peter as our guide was incredible! His knowledge and information was a gut-wrenching but amazing tale of the city, its history in the Bogside and Bloody Sunday. While this was hard history to hear and process as a US Citizen who never heard this all while growing up during the time, it was so deep and informative. Worth every minute, don't miss this one!
Brilliant Guide! Excellent Walking Tour!
We took a walking tour of the Bogside with Bogside Tours on a three-day visit to Derry on September 10th. It was the highlight of our stay thanks to Paul our guide. His in-depth knowledge and measured telling of the story of Bloody Sunday gave us a vivid depiction of the injustices and shameful state cruelty suffered by the people of Derry. It was a fascinating and very moving experience. Thank you, Paul. Anne and Frank from Celbridge, County Kildare.
10/10 experience
Peter was an excellent tour guide and his knowledge and passion for the history of Derry shone through his tour! His lived experience of life in Derry during the troubles was incredibly insightful. A must see for all visiting Derry - and get Peter if you can!!
