Welcome to Derry and, in particular, the Cityside, as the western half of this historic city is known.

On this walking tour, we’ll visit several locations in the west side of the city, including an area called the Bogside. Sometimes described as the cockpit of ‘the Troubles’.

We’ll peruse popular murals like The Petrol Bomber, Bernadette, and the Bloody Sunday collection and, in a politically neutral way, cover some of the other sites that define the area. Fellow tour guide, Mr Terry Brown of Walled City Tours, will join us to share his perspective at some of the locations along the way.

You’ll also hear stories about:

• St Columba and how the sacred well was formed

• The murals, monuments and memorials dedicated to the Troubles

• A Victorian-era garden of tranquility in the city centre

• The revival of the ancient languages of the natives and the planters

• Derry pigs and what made them so happy

Great tour which we did at our own pace. Informative and flexible which allowed us to take a break during the tour to go and sit down and have a coffee and then resume our tour. When we were ready. Highly recommend
waste of time and money

we didn't go. The instructions weren't clear to us. We didn't know where to start and didn't know how to use the voicemap. We wasted our money

Easy to follow your with clear directions. Content was interesting, fairly detailed and unbiased. All significant landmarks were pointed out with enough information and without digressing into waffle. The whole tour, taken at a leisurely pace lasted about 1 hour with opportunities, if we had had the time , to investigate certain landmarks further. Good value for money your.
Great value and time effective way to see a town

This was a great way to see the parts of Derry we were interested in at our own pace. The commentary was interesting and we learnt more about the Troubles in Derry than we could have by just walking and reading the plaques
Very enjoyable and engaging audio tour
