We took this tour in the pouring rain. Really pouring. Our guide, John, was fantastic and I would do it again, rain and all. It's one thing to read about Derry history in a museum or book, but quite another to actually see the historic sites for yourself and have them explained so well. Take this tour!

Took the taxi tour twice in March 2013- first during my brother's stag weekend, then again when I went back with my girlfriend for her birthday. Both times had a brilliant tour with a passionate local guide. I already had a good knowledge of Northern Irish politics and the history of Derry but still thoroughly enjoyed the tour. These guys...

I had a small group of US visitors in Derry City recently and we had a tour booked with Martin McCrossan of derrycitytours.com, I parked in the tourist bus park and brought my clients in to the tourist information office from where we called Martin McCrossan. In about 10 minutes our tour guide John (McNulty) I hope I got the... More

University friend of many years from London came to stay with us in the North west. Her first trip to NI so wanted to show off the best of our city. This tour was excellent.

We visited Derry for the first time last week and happened to come across this walking tour of Derry's wall. John was a very passionate tour guide - we learned so much in just over 1 hour, and would highly recommend this to anyone. Great value for money and an excellent starting point to find out more about the city's... More

Great tour, very informative and fantastic value at £4 with free coffee or tea at the end. Lasts just over an hour mainly along a section of the wall that over looks the Fountain & Bogside areas of the city, so you get both sides of the story in a factual unbiased manner with some humour threw in for good...

We really enjoyed our tour which was made very interesting by John Mc Nulty, it just shows you that history need not be boring. Very reasonably priced for what it involves, lots of information. Would definitely recommend. Thanks John.

We checked out of our B&B and went back into Derry for the Walking Tour. Our B&B hosts recommended a tour owned by Martin McCrossan. It was definitely one of the best walking tours we've ever been on. It began in the heart of the historical city and lasted about one and one-half hours. We had a very good guide... More

We did this walking tour last Friday and our guide was John. We really enjoyed the tour - it was so interesting and informative. It was well worth spending the hour with so much information being packed into that time and such good value at £4 each. Anyone visiting Derry should do this tour - you learn so much. Thank... More

I experienced Martin McCrossan's tour of the city of Derry earlier this month and it was fabulous with a cup of tea and a delicious homemade bun at the end of the tour. I will definitely be back for another tour and tell my friends it is a must see.
