Derry Private Tour
Derry Private Tour
The guide will pick you up at your hotel at the selected time, to take you on a tour of the city of Derry, which has incredible cultural wealth. As this is a private tour, we can tailor the itinerary to suit you!
For example, you can start by discovering the old walled city of Derry, which dates back to the 17th century. Of course, you'll also be able to see the most iconic monuments of the city, such as St. Columb's Cathedral, the Bishop Street Gate or the 1st Presbyterian Church of Derry.
Our English-speaking guide will also take you to see the political graffiti of the Bogside and the Bloody Sunday Monument a massacre that took place in the city in 1972. We'll also see the Guildhall and the Peace Bridge. We'll learn all about the sombre history of The Troubles and Peace Process.
While discovering these interesting places, you'll learn about the beginnings of Christianity, the British colonization in the 17th century, including the 1689 Siege. We'll also hear about the famous personalities of the city.
The private tour to discover Derry will end after two hours of touring the city.
