Highly recommend this tour. John is an incredible guide - very knowledgeable and personable. Not to be missed if in Derry.

A great family experience of recent Irish history, expertly and personally shared, a day we will never forget.

I would recommend this tour as a must when you visit Derry. Our tour guide, john, was knowledgeable, passionate yet humorous. He lived through the troubles and sadly his brother was killed on Bloody Sunday. Whatever you think you already know through the press and media is a tiny fraction of the full story. You will be moved to tears but you will definitely laugh and come away feeling you need to sit with your friends, enjoy a beverage and continue the discussion about your heightened awareness of a traumatic time in the history of Northern Ireland.

5 - John was an absolutely amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and informative. It was an emotional experience, more so because of John’s connection to Bloody Sunday. I’ll definitely be back to Derry.

The personal experience of our guide was impressive! Great trip. Highly recommend it! Hope to see all of Ireland free one day!

John was really knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Derry, making the tour particularly memorable and interesting. Well worth the money, a very special tour

Guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. I learnt a lot of interesting details, and enjoyed the thought provoking imagery on the muriels. Easy to find, reasonably priced, parking right beside museum.

A very emotional explanation of the guide who has lost his brother during "The troubles". We felt his loss and the loss for the community. We will never forget this unique experience, especially because we have the same age. Kind regards, the " genieters" Ans, Hans, Erica en Ad. ( The Netherlands)

My friends and I, who were teens in the ‘90s, had a basic understanding of The Troubles and the peace process going into this tour. John’s tour, however, was an informative and personal deep dive into Bloody Sunday and The Troubles in a way that is hard to explain. As someone who lost a brother and lived this entire part of history, John has an intimate knowledge of the struggles the Bogside community faced working to gain basic civil rights and freedom from the British. The tour covers the events that unfolded on Bloody Sunday in detail, and the impacts that day had in Northern Ireland for decades to come. John gives voice and life to those who lost theirs that day. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

John McKinney was a fantastic tour guide. His tour was very informative and especially heartfelt due to his personal connection to Bloody Sunday. Thank you for a wonderful experience John!

We really enjoyed our tour today. John was an excellent guide and is very informative of the history of Derry. We highly recommended this tour.

John was an excellent guide and delivered a really informative tour. It was really insightful to learn about Bloody Sunday from someone directly affected. It was fascinating hearing anecdotes from his childhood and heartbreaking to hear of the tragic death of his brother. The walking distance and duration of the tour weren't too long and therefore may even be suitable for someone with limited mobility or elderly people. When we arrived it was rainy and John kindly provided us with umbrellas, he also offered us a discounted entry price to the museum. Would really recommend this tour as a way to learn about Derry's past and how it translates to the city as it currently stands.

We were so lucky to find John's incredible tour. He is an amazing guide who taught us so much and answered all of our questions. A very emotional walk that we would highly recommend. Thank you!

John was an amazing guide who has real world, first hand experience of the Troubles and so his perspective and insight was far more than anything you could learn from a book. He was informative and happy to discuss things. I really loved this tour. If you’re reading this, thanks John!

Excellent tour by John, thoroughly informative and answered all questions honestly. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Derry

Tour guide picked us up on time. The most engaging and remarkable story was delivered by a very friendly informed guide that I would highly recommend. A very emotional walk through the bogside area of Derry.

An excellent walking tour around the Free Derry area, the Bogside Murals and the scene of what happened on Bloody Sunday. Our guide was informative and so approachable, talking about the events surrounding the Civil Rights movement, which culminated in the Bloody Sunday massacre.

Was amazing hearing about history in the place where it happened from someone with sucha personal connection to it. Would recommend to anyone interested in Irish history!

Heartbreaking but a great tour With John Mc Kinney..thanks again John Definitely recommend this tour an John knows his stuff very informative Get booking guys

It was a very interesting and emotional tour. Despite the very sad events which took place on Bloody Sunday it was positive experience which gives optimism as it is a good example of how peace process can be successfully achieved.
