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.
