All of Ronan's presentation was exceptional, but I was particularly impressed with his perspective on the N Ireland conflict, the legacy leading up to the 1970's troubles and where it stands today, and the most encouraging future outlook. He would make a great peace maker. Truly a good sole. His tour is a must.

Ronan McNamara was amazing! He kept us spellbound with his personal and emotional guided tour, not just wonderful stories and facts, but thoughts and questions that lasted days after. One of the most captivating speakers I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. Do not miss Ronan McNamara!

Hands down, one of the most riveting story tellers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Ronan has a masterful commanding voice, and is very knowledgeable about Ireland and its history. He is able to answer questions with relatable stories that draw you in and open doors to new learning experiences. This man needs a TV show...

This tour was absolutely incredible and a highlight of my contiki trip. We were so lucky to have him as our tour guide that night. He provided us with so much information about the area, explaining the history of the city with a nonbiased point of view. Amazing story telling!

Ronan is spell binding in his story telling. He is well versed on the history of Derry. He not only gives insight to the past and present but shares his hope for the future of Ireland. I had a similar tour of Derry previously and it did not to the depth of meaning I gained in this wonderful hour.

I went on a tour of Ireland a few years ago and our guide in Derry was by far the best guide out of all our walking tours we did. I highly recommend booking a tour with Ronan. (FYI I actually did this tour a few years ago but wanted everyone to know how amazing his guided tour was)

Highly recommend taking a walking tour with Ronan. We did a tour through Derry-Londonderry and were thoroughly impressed!! Ronan was extremely knowledgeable and held the attention of all in the tour. I gave a rating of 5/5 but would have rated higher if I could have!

Ronan was really great. We did a tie of the wall in Derry in conjunction with Tours Galore. He is incredibly informative and interesting. I really wish I had more time to have a couple pints and talk about the world situation now with him.

Our Trafalgar tour booked a local guide for our time in Derry Londonderry. We were incredibly fortunate to walk the city walls with Ronan. Ronan painted a thoughtful well-balanced picture of the past and present and shared a hopeful message about the future of his beloved city. I came away with a deeper appreciation of the peace work that has been done and the work that can and will be done. Ronan is a treasure and his tour should be a requirement for every guest to Northern Ireland.

Ronan McNamara is the BEST! I remember the Irish cold, early morning tour, over the hill-like streets to the Derry wall. Hanging on his every word, intrigued by the conflict and history depicted on the bogside murals. I would definitely recommend him, and take his tour again!

Hi,
I am looking to booking a tour for 7adults and a 14yo. We are interested in the tour with the city wall. We are thinking of May 3rd first thing in the morning. Are you able to accommodate us?

You would need to book directly with McNamara's, or through the Concierge at your hotel. It is well worth the experience. Very passionate & knowledgeable.
Enjoy.
