Whilst planning a romantic break with my partner, we decided to go to Derry instead of Paris. Thankfully , we made a great choice. The streets were vibrant from the moment we arrived, full of flower sellers and street performers as we walked hand in hand to the best restaurant we could imagine. We did get confused by the road signs. As the sun went down over the foyle, we wished the day could never end I couldn’t recommend Derry more.

John is an amazing guide and his stories are compelling and inspiring. I would highly recommend this tour when your visiting Derry!

Walking tour was extremely informative and powerful regarding the controversial events in Derry. Tour guide was extremely open to questions and added to the tour as we went.

Very interesting tour. Tour guide well spoken and had great knowledge. Punctual and good value for money. Would recommend to a friend.

This tour was everything I wanted and more! The tour guide John has personal ties to Bloody Sunday, which made his retelling of the history of the Troubles in Derry all the more authentic and enhanced the whole experience. He also could answer any questions and was very friendly and funny. 10/10 experience!

John was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job. He did a wonderful job describing living through the troubles and providing both an historical and personal perspective. I was also struck by how many people he knew - every few minutes someone shouted out hello or shared a few words. This is his town, his people... and he loves them. I learned so much.

The talk was from someone who was present when the British Paras entered Derry which was invaluable. However, no headphones and often difficult to hear as busy road. I think £10 would be a better price because we only walked a few yards and I could not hear some of it - see above.

Amazing first hand accounting of Bloody Sunday. Would recommend to anyone interested in the topic. 10 out of 10, would recommend

John was very informative and his real life experience added to the conversation. The group was small enough to ensure everyone was an active part of the discussion.

Our tour guide, Mr McKinney, was excellent! I knew the general story, but he made it real and gave details that were new to me. Also, he was just a lovely person.

A different side to a complex and poignant story. Our guide Noel, had participated in the events at the age of 16 and a lot of his friends were killed, beaten and imprisoned & he himself was beaten with a baton and made to run a gauntlet of batons. And yet he told the story calmly and with great knowledge & authority. The area is quite small but filled with memorials and murals telling the story and at the end, a visit to the Free Derry museum is a must.

This was an outstanding tour led by a man named John, the brother of one of the 14 victims of the Bloody Sunday Massacre. Walking over the same ground where this atrocity occurred while hearing of John's personal account of the events of that day and also while visiting the murals which documented that day made for a memorable event which I will never forget. It was very humbling to be in John's presence. He was more than willing to share his personal experience and was very willing to answer all of our questions.

The tour by John was a remarkable experience. He has a personal connection to Bloody Sunday and freely shares his experiences, providing a unique insight into what life was like in the Bogside during The Troubles. He is also very much up to date on legal struggles still going on now, in the 2020s. Cannot recommend this tour enough. If you want to learn about the conflict in Northern Ireland, this tour is a must.

John and Noel gave a very personal tour with great local knowledge and lived experience of the bogside from the start of the civil rights marches up to the modern day. Learned alot, cried a little. Highly recommend

The bogside walking tour was excellent the guide ODoherty was fantastic. He gave us a great tour around the bogside explained everything to us.we were there for two days and that was the highlight for us.when we finished the tour i asked him about the graveyard overlooking us and he asked would we like to see it.he brought us up in his car and gave us a 30 minute walk around showing us john hume and Martin mc guinness grave.
