      We loved this Derry Girls Tour!
      Angela was an amazing tour guide- she is extremely knowledgeable about the Derry Girls show, which we love - bringing us to many places where the scenes were filmed along with educating us about the charming city of Derry and its history and what it was like for her growing up here in The Troubles. We had an excellent tour - one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.

      Great tour which isn’t all about Derry girls. Loved it, Book on it!
      Great little walking tour that not only covered Derry girls but touched on history of Derry which I found extremely interesting. Our tour guide was so lovely. He had obviously watched Derry girls a lot of times as he really knew his stuff lol Didn’t just talk at you, he asked us questions about our lives, quizzed me on Derry girls as we went round & was more than happy to answer any questions both about the show or history of Derry as we went round. Definitely would recommend this tour. Really enjoyed it. Thankyou 😁

      Bogside walking tour
      Just finished the walking tour of the Bogside and the murals. Angela our guide showed excellent knowledge and commitment to the tour sharing with us her experience of growing up through the troubles. Chatty and welcoming interacting with local people and making us feel welcome and included when chatting. We were fortunate to have her as our guide and any future tourists will be fortunate to secure her services.

      Merry in Derry
      Derry Girls Tour with Angela - Our tour with Angela was brilliant! Lots of laughs and great craic. Visiting the familiar locations, the history, insights and stories really brought the series alive. We got so much more from the tour than expected, lots of extra details, social observations, insider knowledge and an awareness of the 'lived experience' for those in Derry at the time the series is set and also the changes since. Angela is well known around Derry having been a student from the school made famous by the Derry Girls series and also being a teacher we found that Angela was frequently waved to and acknowledged by the locals. Our experience was very authentic. This tour with Angela comes highly recommended by all of us. Thank you Angela and all our best wishes ox

      Angela was a legend. What a fantastic 1.5hours, sharing amazing knowledge not just about Derry Girls (which she knew and shared in fabulous detail) but another the history of Derry and life through various times. It far exceeded our expectations. Thank you

      Friendly guide and interesting tour
      The tour was very educational and the guide was more then happy to answer any questions me and my friend. Had it was good to find out the backstory behind many of the conflicts most famous murals and why people hold them so close to their hearts.

      Excellent detailed tour of Derry and the Bogside and its most famous murals! Well worth doing!
      Angela gave us a very detailed tour of the murals in the Bogside, especially emotive as she grew up in this area during The Troubles and so had a lot of personal stories to tell, really adding to the experience. Although she had one persuasion, she was very respectful that not everybody would feel the way she did about Northern Ireland and its place in the UK, which was welcomed. Our tour lasted for two hours and was very fascinating. The meeting point at the Tower Museum was easy to find and communication between us and the tour operator was great. Highly recommended, a great way to learn about the history of Derry and the Bogside and see some of its most famous murals and reminders of The Troubles.

      A tour not to be missed!
      This review is WAY overdue, but better late than never. Our tour guide, Gleann, was fantastic. He did a wonderful job of blending Irish history with the highlights of the show. I'm not sure if it was the day or if this is typical, but my partner and I had a private tour. We had an opportunity to ask tons of questions about cultural references in the show, Northern Ireland, and about the Derry community. We truly enjoyed our experience and, when visiting Ireland again, would take other tours with Gleann. We'd even be happy to take this same one again! 10/10 would recommend :-)

      This tour opened our eyes to the history of Derry while we visited Derry Girls filming locations!
      Our local tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Derry Girls series and took us to various filming locations. She also explained the context of what was happening historically in Derry at the time and how they related to each of the locations. Derry as a town has a very interesting history and I definitely recommend this tour if you love the show but also if you want to learn more about the town!

      Best tour we've ever had!
      Gleann Doherty is incredible. We will be going back to Derry again and we are will request Gleann Doherty as a guide if possible. Gleann is the real deal. An expert. And one helluva great human being. It was both an honor and privilege to be in his company.

    Glenn Doherty is an excellent guide. He explained the history, pointed out important sites and patiently answered questions. We had walked past some of the sites and not known why they were significant. Definitely recommend!! Well worth the time.

    Make the time and spend the money to have a private tour. Our tour guide is a teacher in the Derry school system and had tons of personal connection to the historic troubles in Derry . Extremely professional guide who introduced us to many little know facts of life in Derry.

    Great tour. I thought I had some knowledge of the troubles but this tour really brought it to life. Angela our guide was excellent, really informative and explained the whole history of the troubles to us back as far as the siege of Derry to more recent times. I'd recommend this tour to anyone.

    Gleann was informative, interesting, humorous and the whole tour was very moving! Everybody in the UK should be made aware of the true reasons behind the troubles! This is explained perfectly by Glan, as we would call him in Wales!

    My goodness this walking tour of Bloody Sunday in the Bogside region of Derry was one I won’t soon forget. It was educational and sobering, but yet humorous at the same time thanks to Gleann (the owner) and it was so heartwarming to meet him. We our grateful to have had 2 hours with Gleann sharing his very personal history of such a tragedy. This tour is an absolute must.

    Here's a shout out for a fab walking tour of Derry. Gleann Doherty and his colleagues provide a variety of options to choose from. We wanted a bit of the history of Bloody Sunday as well as locations for the Derry Girls (TV Show). Gleann was spot on with just the right amount of each (even had a few extra insights on the TV show). Strongly recommend. He does Derry and Donegal tours. Also, read the website to see his personal connection to Bloody Sunday. I agree with their website - The Best!

    A private tour was new to me. I’m so glad I did it. Our guide Làra, is part of the community. Her knowledge was incredible, a lived experience. I found the walk very emotional so I’m glad it was just my friend, Làra and I. I was able to ask all the questions I wanted. Something that would not be possible in a large group.
