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.

5.00Was 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.

5.00A 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

5.005 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

5.00A 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.

3.00I 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.
Amazing tour of an extraordinary event in history.

5.00Absolutely amazing tour. My guide was a child when the Battle of Bogside was fought and lost friends and family in the struggle. You are guided through emotional events by someone who was there, telling their story and the stories of many of the people involved in this extraordinary piece of history. It's not an easy tale to tell but I felt very honoured to see the sites where these historic events occurred and see it from a grounds-eye view. I understand the tours can get busy, on the day I went I was lucky enough to have the guide to myself. I could not recommend this enough, if you are in Derry, which is an amazing and beautiful city, don't regret not going on this tour. (Bonus, photo of Billy McVeigh and I in front of a mural depicting him and his part in the riot in 1969)
