Very moving and worthwhile tour. Noel our guide was excellent and told the story of that awful day with great understanding and clarity.
Interesting, informative, educational and emotional. Our guide Noel was excellent, and being able to speak from personal experience brought a guided tour to a whole new level.
This was one of the best tours we’ve ever done. It was very informative and our guide John was a great story teller, very friendly and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend, especially if you’re interested in history and/or politics.
Very informative! Noel was a great guy to listen to and he really knew what he was talking about. Such an impactful tour and incredibly educational. It was raining but we pushed on.
Really informative and interesting. Our guide Noel was from the area and was there at the time. He was so knowledgable on events you couldn't get a better person to lead this tour. We travelled from Portrush just for this tour as it was recommended to us and I am so glad we did. If you are in Derry or are thinking of visiting then do not miss this.
This was a terrific tour -- excellent historical information, saw all the key locations, witty and entertaining presentation. I would recommend it to anyone interested in both the historical events and the continuing legacy of these events today. Our guide was a brother of one of the 14 victims of Bloody Sunday, which made the tour especially moving and personal.
Noel was a great guide, brining to life the late 60s and early 70s of the Bog Side, and life in Derry and Northern Ireland.
A truly interesting and useful meeting to understand what happened that day and how it was reached. The fact of being accompanied by a person who lived through that period firsthand with friends and relatives involved in the events makes everything even more engaging.
My wife and I went on a deeply moving and thought provoking walking tour of the Bogside by our guide John whose brother William, a 27 year old journalist and film maker, was one of the 13 people murdered on Bloody Sunday, 30th January 1972. He described in detail the events of that tragic day and the relentless campaign he and other family members of the victims of Bloody Sunday have sought for justice. I recommend this tour and also a visit to the Museum of Free Derry which is a fitting memorial to the victims of Bloody Sunday.
Good informative tour but not great. Very, very hard to hear our guide as you are battling traffic noise. We would have given this tour a higher score if there was a microphone or similar used. Lots to learn about and what we did hear was interesting.
Hi Folks,sorry you didn’t hear some of the tour ,your review has been taken on board ,kind regards.
