Derry Tours

Award Winning Guided Tours


Derry doesn't keep its history behind glass. It's out on the streets, painted on gable walls, carved into 17th-century stone, and very much alive in the people who'll tell you about it. This is Ireland's only fully intact walled city, and it has more stories per square mile than almost anywhere else on the island. Travel with a maximum of 16 people in a comfortable minicoach, accompanied by a driver-guide who knows this city and its history from the inside.

Beyond the walls, the region opens into some of the most dramatic scenery in Northern Ireland. Our small group Derry guided tours can take you out to the Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges, and the sweeping coastline of Donegal, all without touching the wheel. Join us on tours from Belfast and let a driver-guide who knows every bend in the road do the rest.


A city that wears its history on its walls

The walls have stood since the 1600s. What unfolded beneath them is far more recent and far harder to forget. Walk the full circuit and you're looking down over the Bogside, where the murals are still painted, the monuments still visited, and the stories still told by people who were there.

The Bogside murals

Twelve murals were painted directly onto the gable walls of the Bogside. Each one tells a different part of the same story. You can read about Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside, and Free Derry Corner before you arrive, but standing in front of them is something else entirely. It's the kind of moment that makes a Derry city tour worth every minute.


Derry Girls and the craic

Whether you came for the show or the history, Derry delivers both. The filming locations are all here, the mural on Orchard Street is exactly as good as you'd hope, and the locals are every bit as warm as the characters suggested. It's one of the most enjoyable parts of any tour of Derry. Good old Irish charm. It's very much real.

A gateway to the Causeway Coast and Donegal

Derry sits where the Wild Atlantic Way meets the Causeway Coastal Route, putting some of Ireland's most spectacular scenery within easy reach. The Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges, the sea cliffs of Donegal; all of it is on the doorstep, and all of it is better experienced on a Northern Ireland tour with someone who knows the stories behind the sights.
