5.00If 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.
