We had a great wall walking tour of Derry with David! He was very engaging and informative. His knowledge and presentation of history kept us interested for the 3 plus hours we were with him. We highly recommend David as a tour guide!
Many thanks for your great review and recommendation. Best wishes,David
Had a great two hours with David who met us at the hotel and accommodated a family member who is a wheelchair user. Great tour with lots of info not available in the history books. Very flexible and gave us lots of choices in terms of what we wanted to see and hear about as we “dandered” through and around Derry.
Thank you for your kind words and it was a pleasure to work with your family group and make the City Walls and the city's history accessible for all members of your party. Best wishes, David
A fantastic, insightful dander around the city walls with David. Well paced 2 hour tour for party of 4 and had answers to all our questions. Sun was out as well as a wee bonus.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a positive review. Glad you enjoyed the tour and the sunny weather on your dander around the Walls. David
An excellent experience. David catered this private tour to my dad’s interests and made recommendations for other places to visit after the tour. David’s knowledge, expertise and kindness were second to none and my father had a fabulous experience! We would definitely recommend David to anyone wishing to learn more about the history and culture of this beautiful city!
Thank you for your kind comments. It was a pleasure to tailor my tour to suit your Dad's interests around church and siege history and glad to hear he had a great experience. Thanks for booking Derrie Danders again. David
I knew very little about Derry apart from the Troubles. I loved the views from the Walls of the meandering river, it reminded me of Inverness. I learned such a lot from David Douglas on the walk; he explained history without overwhelming us and I gathered from him and other people a spirit of looking to the future. I bought two well written booklets of walks around Derry, written by Richard Doherty, with stunning detailed illustrations by Tim Webster. I certainly want to visit Derry again.
Thank you for your kind words about my tour and glad you also enjoyed the little booklets I sell that enhance a guests visit. Hope you get the chance to return soon. David
A huge thank you to David Douglas from Derrie Danders for an excellent walking tour of the Waterside and City Walls of Derry today. David's knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought the city's history to life in a way that was both engaging and informative. He tailored the tour perfectly to our group's interests, keeping it relaxed and enjoyable throughout. The pace was ideal, allowing everyone to take in the sights and ask questions. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended – thank you, David!
Thank you Gordon for your kind words and great to hear that your group enjoyed their tour with me. It was especially enjoyable to get the opportunity to meet your group at the Waterside Hub/ Derry/Londonderry train station and show your group some of the lesser visited Waterside area first, an area where I grew up. Best wishes, David
We have.a great experience on this walking tour. David is very knowledgeable and a gracious host. Would highly recommend
Thank you Jim for your kind words and glad you enjoyed your tour with me. It was good to meet you and your travelling companions. David
We loved this tour with David. We would never have been able to appreciate all of the different aspects of the City Walls without his guidance. We could tell that he’s truly passionate about his home town, Derry. David also gave us lots of tips about other things that we could do after the tour. We took his advice and went to the Guildhall to see the noble peace prize and then walked over the peace bridge. If you’re visiting Derry, do this tour. You can’t go wrong.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed my tour and also were able to appreciate more of the city's attractions too. Best wishes, David
David was an excellent tour guide. It was just the right amount of history so that it was not overwhelming. He was engaging and interesting. I highly recommend him. I have a friend who already booked him for this summer.
Hello Ellen, Thanks for your kind review. It was good to meet you and your family group on my tour and I look forward to hosting your friend later in the summer. Best wishes, David
Derry’s City Walls was on the bucket list !! Great guide, very informative, easy to understand and opportunities for questions. Highly recommend!!
Thank you Carol for your review. Glad to escort you on your first time to walk the historic City Walls and hopefully you get the opportunity to return and see more of the city's attractions in the future. David
