Given its geographical location, contrasting coastal and inland terrain steeped in ancient tradition, some would say that the North West of Ireland is truly the jewel in Ireland’s crown. Derry (or “Doire”) derived from the Gaeilge language word meaning “Oak” is a vibrant city located on the River Foyle in this region. With an abundance of historical landmarks to explore, you will be immersed in its lamentable past while attesting and embracing its transition to an energetic and dynamic city full of flavours and steeped in culture. The bordering County Donegal is a short 3km from the city. On this tour we explore elements of both.

Cần Quan Tâm
Derry
Setting off in the morning, we will walk the defensive walls of Derry City built between 1613 and 1619. This private guided walking tour will recount the story of Derry from it’s origins to the present day. We also have an option to visit Derry’s most recognised landmarks, the Guildhall, the Tower Museum and the Peace Bridge.
Grianan Of Aileach
Next we travel over the border and into Donegal. Here we visit Grianan an Aileach and Burt Castle. Said to have been built by the Tuatha De Danann, the ancient stone ringfort of Grianan an Aileach dates its origins to 3000 BC. Located 250m above sea level, this spectacular hilltop site was visited by St Patrick who once baptized the high king Eoghan. Not far from here we visit the stronghold of the O’Doherty clan. The remnants of the three story Burt Castle on this lofty domain makes for an impressive sight.

5.00Our first time in Ireland was made a wonderful journey by Joe, we provided him a blank slate and he crafted a wonderful overview of the history of his homeland which he clearly loves. The scenery, the people , the music, Joe used all of these to weave an unforgettable tapestry of memories for us. If you are fortunate enough to have him as your guide, listen to his stories, give him your time and you will be well rewarded.
Amazing Tour of St. Columbkille Sites!

5.00My husband and I are deeply interested in historical sites of all kinds. Joe came up with a day tour of Donegal that knocked our socks off! We saw all of the highlights of St. Columb's monasteries in the region, including Ray Church, the monastery at Garten, and the place of St. Columba's birth. He wove in historical political storytelling into his religious stories and we came away with a profound appreciation for so much than we understood before. He really went out of his way to satisfy our needs and we are so deeply grateful to him for a wonderful tour!

5.00We had a fabulous day with Ian! He shared personal stories and showed us some beautiful sites in and around Donegal. Because the tour was private, Ian tailored the tour to our preferences and allowed us time to enjoy the day at our own pace. Highly recommend taking time to see this part of Ireland!

5.00We had the great fortune of having Joe as our tour guide for a second day of exploring the amazing sites and history near Donegal, Ireland. Traveling the Wild Atlantic Way, we explored many places including Grianan of Aileach, Doe Castle, Glenveagh National Park, Glenveagh Castle, and more! Once again, Joe was so skilled at sharing the history of the locations. Why they were important at the time and today. Not to mention, he to excellent photos of us and the incredible views so we could have them as a reminder of our incredible day. Chieftain Tours provided us with a few amazing days during our time spent around Donegal and we sincerely appreciated the stories, history and the skilled driving to get us to all of these wonderful places. Joe and this tour were exceptional! Amazing history, stories, and incredible views. Learning about the people and places really provided the experience we were looking for. We were able to get lost in the locations and imagine what it would have been like to live back in those times… It was a transformational experience. Thank you, Joe and Chieftain Tours, for the education, memories, humor, and wonderful sights.
