I definitely recommend this tour

What an excellent tour! John was our tour guide and he is awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Having first-hand experience of what it was like on, and leading up to, Bloody Sunday and living in Derry his whole life, he is able to really convey what life was like in Derry back then as well as today. We found this tour fascinating and a visit to the Museum of Free Derry afterwards was excellent because we had a better grasp of everything before going into the museum.

Bloody Sunday guided walk.

Excellent and informative tour with guide who had personal experience of the events being discussed. Distance walked was not excessive and the pace was perfect..Tour lasted about. 90 minutes. We learned a lot in about the sad events of Bloody Sunday and the subsequent struggle for justice, ass well as the iconic murals of the Bogside. We would recommend this tour to visitors to Derry.

The history of The Bogside

This tour is a must, lasts around an hour and a half and is so informative. Our guide John was amazing with a close connection to the history of this area.

Disappointing

Was so looking forward to this tour and was so disappointed. We were with a large group and our guide had no microphone making his commentary useless as we could not hear much of it. What we did hear was dry and delivered lecture style and fast, not giving us much time to absorb information. We left the tour early and cannot recommend
