Derry/Londonderry: Walled City Private Walking Tour with Historian

Derry's 17th-century city walls — the finest intact in Ireland — are your stage for a private walkthrough of centuries of history: sieges, Plantation, Civil Rights and the Troubles. One of Europe's most emotionally powerful urban experiences.

What to expect

You walk the entire circuit of the 17th-century walls — one mile of intact ramparts overlooking the Bogside, the Guildhall and the Peace Bridge. At the Free Derry Corner and the Museum of Free Derry, your guide contextualises the Civil Rights era and Bloody Sunday with personal and historical precision. The Peace Bridge crossing offers a symbolic close to a tour that is both intellectually and emotionally profound.
