We were lucky enough to get the award winning Martin McCrossan himself. We walked the walls and the tour was excellent. Everything you wanted to know and more. Martin is enthusiastic and passionate about Derry. He seamlessly combined the history and the setting like the master story teller he is. It's excellent value for money and he does that clever...

This was the best tour I have ever been on. Martin was excellent. Informative, witty and very articulate. Highly recommend Martin McCrossan, City Tours of Derry if you really want to enjoy your tour of the city. Fiona Tunney Letterkenny Comhaltas Branch

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...

In about 10 minutes our tour guide John (McNulty) I hope I got the... More

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
