Informative interesting entertaining tour - Would highly recommend this informative insightful tour. Glenn was an engaging guide who shared the city’s history in an easy to understand knowledgeable way. We were able to ask questions and appreciated his willingness to share his own personal experience of living in Derry the past 50 years.

Dodged the rain for a great walk - It was a rainy day but fortunately stayed dry enough for our 90 minute tour around the walls. Gleann was a great guide and knew his city. Pointed out both old and not so old features as we walked the mile around the city wall. Definitely worth the time and effort spent. However, beware it is a fairly long walk with lots of steps and steep slopes. If you have walking issues this may not be suitable. Check before you book.

Derry Walls Tour - Lara did a wonderful job telling the history of the Derry Walls even the smallest details. Since we are Derry Girls fans, she pointed out several places where scenes from the show was taped.

Great Tour of the Walled City - A wonderful tour made more special by our tour guide Gleann. Gleann's knowledge of the history of Derry is unparalleled. The tour takes you around the walled city with Gleann adding his insights as to the changes throughout the years. While a private tour may be more expensive than a group tour, it is well worth the price difference.

Excellent Guide - We were first time visitors to Derry, so decided to book a tour of the city's walls. Our guide was Gleann who was knowledgeable and friendly. Our party learned a lot about the history of the walls, the city and the surrounding area and I cannot speak highly enough about Gleann. He was a great guide and I would absolutely recommend his 90 minute walking tour of the walls.

Very Informative Tour - During our 13 day coach tour of Ireland, this was one of our tour excursions. We started with a little bus tour of the city, and then got off and walked around the wall. Our guide was really good, and explained a lot of the history of the troubles time period, and all about the wall. The wall has been very well preserved, and it was neat to see it close up, and to understand its' history and, sadly, its purpose.
