Our excellent guide, Gleann Doherty, was great! His encyclopedic knowledge of both “Derry Girls” and Derry history, and his sense of humor, and stories, made the tour so great! If you love Derry Girls, and learning some of the historical background of this cool city, take this tour — highly recommended!

The 6 day trip through Ireland offered more than I expected. We have seen and visited many beautiful places. There were some interesting optional offers that could also be booked on site. The accommodations have always been fine. All in all a tiring but wonderful trip to get to know Ireland.

Gleann was a great guide, thoughtful and informative. He gave us lots of information from the Troubles, from a personal perspective. Also amused my daughter with explanations of key locations from Derry Girls! Highly recommended.

The 6 day trip across Ireland was awesome! You can see a lot of Ireland in a very short time. Price-performance was also great and the guide was a real local with lots of funny anecdotes. Can definitely be recommended!

Very good and informative would recommend Gleann Docherty to anyone thinking of any tours in Derry
