Vietnam John to Johnny McKinney - He was incredibly knowledgeable because his brother was killed during that day. He has been involved in all the probes and will be at Soldier F's trial beginning 15 September 2025!

Blown Away - Spectacular! It brought tears to my eyes! Our guide's brother lost his life on Bloody Sunday, and the way he related the happenings on that day was emotional, and heartfelt.

Insights from a Derry local - This tour was really great. The guide spoke from his own experience and events in his life to paint a picture of growing up in Derry. Recommend if you are wanting a whole-hearted experience.

Must Experience to Truly Understand Derry - This is the second time I have taken this tour and I wanted my visitor to experience this first hand account of Bloody Sunday. The story is painful but it is an account of what happened. There is little walking involved and places to sit. I also suggest that you ask questions of the staff at the Free Derry Museum. They are all knowledgeable and passionate.

Excellent, captivating tour! Well-worth it! - This is a must-do tour in Derry for anyone interested in recent Irish history and how the Troubles directly affected residents, even young children. John gives a well-researched and compelling tour, explaining Irish history, Bloody Sunday, and the long march for justice walked by the families most impacted by the events of that day. He sets the scene well and makes you feel as if you were there. He keeps it interesting and answers any questions. We learned much more than we ever could have or from a book.
