Guildhall

This hour long walking tour in Derry will also retrace parts of the original march and visit places where the dead and wounded fell. The Bogside History Tour will examine the political and social repercussions of Bloody Sunday. The tour will pass ‘The Museum of Free Derry’ and conclude at the Bloody Sunday monument within sight of Free Derry corner and beneath the city walls of Derry. The Bogside (Irish: Taobh an Bhogaigh) is a neighbourhood outside the city walls.. The large gable-wall murals by the Bogside Artists, Free Derry Corner and the Gasyard Féile (an annual music and arts festival held in a former gasyard) are popular tourist attractions. The area has been a focus point for many of the events of the Troubles; in 1969, a fierce three-day battle known as the Battle of the Bogside became a starting point of the Troubles.

Peter was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Would highly recommend a trip to beautiful Derry and the guided walk tour with Peter or Paul. Joe from Galway.

This tour was a highlight for me and our guide Paul did not disappoint. The tour started like a lot of tours in Ireland do with a lot of talking about the history of Ireland. Then we walked over to the Bogside district and Paul took us through the events of the day on Bloody Sunday, 30 January 1972. He showed us where certain things happened and where people died. Most of the tour guides we encountered in Northern Ireland made sure we knew they were impartial and not favouring the Catholic or Protestant view either way, but Paul did not make that clarification. His sister was shot on Bloody Sunday and survived. He was very matter of fact but there was no doubting where he stood.
A must for anyone visiting Derry

Peter was a knowledgeable and friendly guide, making this particular walking tour a memorable one indeed. Despite the delicate subject matter, his subtle humour was able to cut through the sobering horror of the events being relayed. I would highly recommend this walking tour for anyone visiting Derry.

Amazing Personal Tour with John

Was lucky enough to be the only person who booked the tour slot and got a private tour with John! John was an amazing guide who wants to give people the full picture of Bloody Sunday. I am someone who wants to know every little detail and John provided that. I had a wonderful time and learned so much. John definitely appealed to the inner history nerd in me.
Bogside tour with Jimmy Toye

A must do when in Derry. We had the absolute pleasure of having Jimmy Toye take us on this heart rendering tour of the Bogside talking about the troubles and Bloody Sunday. He made us laugh and also cry telling us from his first hand experience of many years as a teenager living during those terrible times. Was one of the best history lesson ever and a must if you visit Derry. Hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to get Jimmy.
Excellent and knowledge guide in Paul

5 Star tour with John on the 9th November. John is friendly and a wealth of knowledge having been personally affected on Bloody Sunday as his sister was injured on that bleak day. We learnt so much in fact and personal anecdotes which you can’t get anywhere else a proper first hand account of history. As a lover of Irish history this tour was perfect . The route was great, a nice slow place and we stopped at every point for pictures or another story - all the murals are covered and we finish at the Museum which I also highly recommend , modern, clean and well layed out and easy to follow. Both my brother and I left feeling incredibly touched by what the people of Derry had to suffer (it is very harrowing at points) but also inspired by their resilience, heart and commitment to educating us. If I’m ever back I would do it again in a heartbeat. Doing the tour also gets you a discount on a museum ticket x
Powerful, Insightful Tour of the Bogside

A brilliant, informative and really educational tour. Paul was a great guide, friendly, down to earth, and happy to answer any questions I had. The strength and unity of the community in Derry/the Bogside is inspirational. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Derry. Great to meet you Paul and good luck to Leeds & Ireland! From a Scouser.
Maybe the guide was having an off day.

I was looking forward to this tour and learning more about the events and see the sights. I found the guide cold unwelcoming and not very engaging with the group. I’ve done many walking tours across the world and there is usually time for questions and short discussion but the guide just spewed out information in a very matter of fact way like he was in a rush and wasn’t that interested in his guests. Whilst I appreciated the locations and very basic information given I felt the guide could have been more engaging with the group. If you want people to have a positive experience and leave happy then please consider this feedback.
