Excellent tour - Angela Heaney took us on a private tour to see the walls, the walled city, the Bogside. This was a very good tour. Angela is a historian and knows how to present a not a easy part of Irland’s young history very understandable. This guide deserves a review with the rating “excellent”!

Lara leaves no stone unturned - We really enjoyed our tour today of Derry’s city walls; our guide was Lara and she excellent. She explained everything so well, she was highly knowledgable, friendly and patient! Our dog Jasmine was also most impressed and listened most intently! We think everyone should take a guided tour to really appreciate and understand the fascinating history behind the city’s lovely facade. In fact Lara was a terrific ambassador for Derry and it’s people.

Gleann is a fantastic guide! Highly recommend! - We came to Derry for just a few days. Gleann's knowledge and style was perfect. He was really entertaining and the tour was well worth it. We did the wall tour and he showed us the The Derry Girls mural. Walking on the walls while learning the history was fantastic. Everyone who comes to Derry should do Gleann's tour. Extremely well done.

Very informative and Beautiful - Gleann was a Wonderful Host! He gave us the history of the City Walls. He took us all around the walls, also stopping at The Derry Girls Mural. He has a different insight into the city's history, as his own father is part of it's most historic events in the last 100 years. Do yourself a favor and book a tour!

Derry Wall walking tour. - We did the McCrosen City Wall walking tour. Our tour guide was John and we met him at the Tourist information office. It was an uphill walk to the city wall. Our group was approximately 30-36 people.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided excellent commentary. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and covered approximately 1/2 of the wall.
