Overview

Our walking history tours look at the lasting political and social implications of Bloody Sunday and other local incidents of the Troubles. It begins at the Guildhall in city center and drops into the Bogside area from Derry’s intact city walls. Learn from survivors and family members as you trace the footsteps of the Bloody Sunday march. Our tours also pass the world-famous Bogside Murals, offering in-depth histories of each. We stop by the iconic Free Derry Corner and our tour ends at the Bloody Sunday monument on Rossville Street just across the way from the Museum of Free Derry.

Itinerary

Guildhall

This hour long walking tour in Derry will also retrace parts of the original march and visit places where the dead and wounded fell. The Bogside History Tour will examine the political and social repercussions of Bloody Sunday. The tour will pass ‘The Museum of Free Derry’ and conclude at the Bloody Sunday monument within sight of Free Derry corner and beneath the city walls of Derry. The Bogside (Irish: Taobh an Bhogaigh) is a neighbourhood outside the city walls.. The large gable-wall murals by the Bogside Artists, Free Derry Corner and the Gasyard Féile (an annual music and arts festival held in a former gasyard) are popular tourist attractions. The area has been a focus point for many of the events of the Troubles; in 1969, a fierce three-day battle known as the Battle of the Bogside became a starting point of the Troubles.

Highly recommend this tour. Jimmy Toye was our guide. It was a truly moving experience and I am really grateful to have been able to learn about the history of Derry and Bloody Sunday from someone who lived it. You must do this tour if you visit Derry.

great tour of the Bogside.

Published on Mar, 2025

did the Bogside History tour with John, Saturday 15th march. what a wonderful tour, over 2 hours of history, being from Dublin we of course have a good understanding of the history of Derry but it makes such a difference getting such detailed information. Billy at the end was an added bonus. So thank you John for your entertaining and informative tour of the Bogside. would highly recommend. Adrian and Marie.

Incredible experience, thank you Macrea!

I had such an incredible experience on this walking tour. The tact, knowledge, personability, humour, articulation from Macrea was wonderful, and I have been tempted to return to Derry just to do this tour again! Seeing and experiencing Derry and The Troubles in this way was something I will never forget. Thank you Macrea, for being so friendly, so wise, and so funny! I hope to see you again!

John was our guide. He proceeded to give is an unhurried and very personal account of one of the darkest days in Irish history. If you take one of these tours you will hear about the events of Bloody Sunday from the horse’s mouth. Do not expect to hear about the events of that day from the point of view of the army - that is for themselves to tell. Overall this was the best walking tour I have ever done and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Amazing tour & tour guide

Amazing tour by Paul. Sincere empathy for all those impacted by the atrocities, but it was great to see the strong Derry community that has remained. Thank you for the history lesson!
