Wonderful, moving tour of Derry - We really appreciated the historical / bog side tour that we took with Gleann’s colleague, Angela. She was incredibly well-prepared, personable, and able to answer all our questions. The fact that she grew up in this very area provided an added layer of emotion to an already very moving tour of this particular area of Derry. I highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in learning more about the complicated history of Derry. (Added bonus: she gave us an excellent lunch recommendation too).

Look no further - Here is THE Derry Tour to take - Here's a shout out for a fab walking tour of Derry. Gleann Doherty and his colleagues provide a variety of options to choose from. We wanted a bit of the history of Bloody Sunday as well as locations for the Derry Girls (TV Show). Gleann was spot on with just the right amount of each (even had a few extra insights on the TV show). Strongly recommend. He does Derry and Donegal tours. Also, read the website to see his personal connection to Bloody Sunday. I agree with their website - The Best!

Derry Walking tour of Bloody Sunday in Bogside region of Derry - My goodness this walking tour of Bloody Sunday in the Bogside region of Derry was one I won’t soon forget. It was educational and sobering, but yet humorous at the same time thanks to Gleann (the owner) and it was so heartwarming to meet him. We our grateful to have had 2 hours with Gleann sharing his very personal history of such a tragedy. This tour is an absolute must.

The BEST tour in Derry! - The BEST tour! We had a private tour on Saturday with Angela as our guide through the bogside and city walls and we could have walked with her and listened and talked for hours and hours. So special to have a local guide, the tour was so amazing and educational. We could not recommend this tour enough, a must if you are visiting Derry. GRMA

Derry guided tours - Gleann was informative, interesting, humorous and the whole tour was very moving! Everybody in the UK should be made aware of the true reasons behind the troubles! This is explained perfectly by Glan, as we would call him in Wales! Pob lwc Glan!!

First hand history tour. - Make the time and spend the money to have a private tour. Our tour guide is a teacher in the Derry school system and had tons of personal connection to the historic troubles in Derry . Extremely professional guide who introduced us to many little know facts of life in Derry.

Làra top Derry Girl! - A private tour was new to me. I’m so glad I did it. Our guide Làra, is part of the community. Her knowledge was incredible, a lived experience. I found the walk very emotional so I’m glad it was just my friend, Làra and I. I was able to ask all the questions I wanted. Something that would not be possible in a large group.

Powerful tour - Great tour. I thought I had some knowledge of the troubles but this tour really brought it to life. Angela our guide was excellent, really informative and explained the whole history of the troubles to us back as far as the siege of Derry to more recent times. I'd recommend this tour to anyone.
