5.00It’s rare to meet someone who can balance such painful history with compassion and hope for the future. Our guide Gleann did just that, his personal connection to the Bogside and the events of Bloody Sunday gave both a historically fascinating & deeply moving tour. Hearing these stories right where they took place was incredibly moving. I came away with a much deeper respect for Derry’s history and community. If you visit the city, don’t miss this tour!
