This was an excellent tour and so engaging to hear all about the (very recent) history from a person who lived through it all. Seeing the sights and hearing the stories told through the eyes of someone who experienced such a scary and horrific time in Derry’s past was the best way to learn about these events.

If you want an informative tour of Derry then Michael Cooper (DerryBlueBadgeGuide.com) is the man for you. Michael has an in-depth knowledge of Derry covering the ancient history and the more recent history of the “Troubles”. His tour includes all the major sites, murals and surrounding areas of interest. Highly recommended.

Noel gave us an amazing tour of the Bogside. He told us stories of personal experiences during the troubles and the backstory to why it happened. We both enjoyed it immensely.
