Guided tour brought history to life....as my tour occurred the weekend of Bloody Sunday ( Selma, AL, USA) it tied history in nicely.
We took the Martin McCrossan famous Walking Tour over the Derry walls, it was a lovely day the guide was Sorcha local girl very informative and had a great personality. At £4 it was amazing value with a cu of tea/coffee to finish off. Really learnt a lot and would def recommend it.
A very interesting City, plenty of history, a perfect walk and great scenic views, a must for tourists
We only did a small section ,very interesting a must if your walking is good ,you can take a walking tour for just £4 and you get tea or coffee on the .
The city walls are simply stunning. A beautiful, easy and very relaxing walk. my daddy would have taken us regularly on A sunday growing up, and we used to enjoy it so much. now as a mummy myself I tend it make it a regular walk for my own son!
The rain stopped, the sun came out and we were kept interested by the plaques explaining the various parts of the Wall tour. A free tour! Well worth it. History explained.
off the city walls, there are these paintings on the houses walls, showing the desire of peace and freedom of the people. A must see in the city.
Derry's walls can be found on the left bank of the Foyle, or cityside, and despite three sieges, were never breached, giving Derry the nickname of "The Maiden City". Originally there were only four gates, but three were added later, giving a total of seven. It takes about 30 minutes to walk the entire length, which would include some stops along the way. They are very well preserved, and a must do if you visit the city. Bring your camera.
We visited Derry for the day and enjoyed it immensely. The highlight was a walking tour of the walls by McCrossan Tours. Our tour guide was John who was both entertaining and informative, and at times managed to talk about the walls whilst walking backwards along the wall! It was a rainy day but so engrossed were we that we barely noticed. Great views of city murals and landmarks..would love to go back.
Great guide, very interesting and informative, amazing views over the city. Most enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
