Tour description
Derry, also known as Londonderry, is the only completely walled city in Ireland, a place of remarkable history where 400-year-old ramparts encircle an atmospheric old town. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its walls and its powerful story.\n\nYou will walk sections of the famous city walls, see the grand Guildhall, and hear about the siege, the plantation era and the city's more recent history, told with honesty and warmth. Along the way you will discover a city of great character. Historic and moving, Derry is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
