Fascinating walk along Derry's walls
I knew very little about Derry apart from the Troubles. I loved the views from the Walls of the meandering river, it reminded me of Inverness. I learned such a lot from David Douglas on the walk; he explained history without overwhelming us and I gathered from him and other people a spirit of looking to the future. I bought two well written booklets of walks around Derry, written by Richard Doherty, with stunning detailed illustrations by Tim Webster. I certainly want to visit Derry again.
A Relaxed, Informative & Highly Enjoyable Tour of Derry ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A huge thank you to David Douglas from Derrie Danders for an excellent walking tour of the Waterside and City Walls of Derry today. David's knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought the city's history to life in a way that was both engaging and informative. He tailored the tour perfectly to our group's interests, keeping it relaxed and enjoyable throughout. The pace was ideal, allowing everyone to take in the sights and ask questions. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended – thank you, David!
Wonderful Derry Tour!
We have.a great experience on this walking tour. David is very knowledgeable and a gracious host. Would highly recommend
Wonderful tour of the City Walls with David.
We loved this tour with David. We would never have been able to appreciate all of the different aspects of the City Walls without his guidance. We could tell that he’s truly passionate about his home town, Derry. David also gave us lots of tips about other things that we could do after the tour. We took his advice and went to the Guildhall to see the noble peace prize and then walked over the peace bridge. If you’re visiting Derry, do this tour. You can’t go wrong.
Perfect tour guide for the city walls
David was an excellent tour guide. It was just the right amount of history so that it was not overwhelming. He was engaging and interesting. I highly recommend him. I have a friend who already booked him for this summer.
