Walking Tour of Derry

Difficulty Easy

Begin your day by stepping into the heart of Derry’s rich and complex story with a guided walking tour through its historic streets. As the only city in Ireland with fully intact 17th-century walls, Derry offers an extraordinary opportunity to walk quite literally through the layers of its past. From early monastic settlements to centuries of sieges and social change, this is a city that has always stood at the crossroads of history. With each step along the ancient ramparts, your guide will bring that history vividly to life.

The walk itself is easy to moderate, making it accessible and enjoyable for most travellers. Along the way, you’ll visit some of Derry’s most iconic landmarks. Through personal stories and well-informed insight, your guide will offer a balanced and heartfelt perspective on how the city has transformed from a site of conflict to a place of creativity, dialogue, and hope. Walking through Derry isn’t just a sightseeing experience—it’s a chance to listen, understand, and feel the spirit of a city that continues to evolve with grace and strength.

Why we love it

As the church bells toll and its 10am, we start our walking tour of Derry. Your guide will tell you all about the history of the city as we stroll along the city walls. An hour or so later you will have learned so much. Hopefully the tour will have answered all of your questions but if not be sure to ask before you leave, our guides have an endless knowledge on the area.
