    A different side to a complex and poignant story. Our guide Noel, had participated in the events at the age of 16 and a lot of his friends were killed, beaten and imprisoned & he himself was beaten with a baton and made to run a gauntlet of batons. And yet he told the story calmly and with great knowledge & authority. The area is quite small but filled with memorials and murals telling the story and at the end, a visit to the Free Derry museum is a must.

    This was an outstanding tour led by a man named John, the brother of one of the 14 victims of the Bloody Sunday Massacre. Walking over the same ground where this atrocity occurred while hearing of John's personal account of the events of that day and also while visiting the murals which documented that day made for a memorable event which I will never forget. It was very humbling to be in John's presence. He was more than willing to share his personal experience and was very willing to answer all of our questions.

    The tour by John was a remarkable experience. He has a personal connection to Bloody Sunday and freely shares his experiences, providing a unique insight into what life was like in the Bogside during The Troubles. He is also very much up to date on legal struggles still going on now, in the 2020s. Cannot recommend this tour enough. If you want to learn about the conflict in Northern Ireland, this tour is a must.
