“This Viator tour is truly an amazing experience! It was beyond our expectations. From the moment Fegal promptly picked us up at our hotel, he made us feel very comfortable. Fergal reviewed with us what sites meant the most to us to see. He wanted to make sure he knew so he could make adjustments to our day, based on the weather, to ensure we would make it to those specific locations at the best time. It all worked out perfectly. When a few rain drops did fall, we were inside enjoying a tasty lunch together in Bally Castle. Fegal immersed us into Northern Ireland land - we drove through…”

“This is the only way to experience Derry and to get a true perspective of the events that unfolded over centuries, the brutal oppression of Catholics and those who have only ever sought fairness, equality with others, hope for themselves and their families and a united Ireland. Barry’s passion and analysis was in abundance and he helped make this more than just a tourism experience - it was an awakening.

This is so much more than just walking in the footsteps of The Derry Girls (although we were proud to do that…”

We are fairly fit women in our late 50’s and are happy to walk and would prefer not to wait on others. This will be a long review, settle in, this will be very honest. Ronnie collected us at our hotel promptly at 9:00am and instantly we felt he was a very lovely man who had tons of knowledge of the area and lots of local pride. We shared with him how excited we were to be on a private tour and shared our views of group tours…”
