The Bogside, A Really GreatTour

My friend and I took the Troubles Bogside Walking Tour with Michael Cooper. It was excellent! Michael started the tour in Guildhall Square, he was punctual and welcoming to my friend who was visiting the area. He opened with a brief synopsis of the history of Derry and explained the origins of the name The Bogside so that on starting the tour we had some sense of how the city had evolved. He was very knowledgeable but didn't just reel off facts. He was enthusiastic about his subject and managed to impart that enthusiasm to us. He took ample time to answer questions and go over anything that we hadn't picked up on. The pace of the tour was just right with frequent pauses to discuss a particular point or describe how the area had looked in the early days of the troubles and the changes that have taken place. There was no sense of hurry to get to the end of the tour. He also painted a picture of a vibrant community which was sometimes forgotten in the midst of the troubles. Michael also recommended other places of interest to visit which was helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this tour, it's extremely interesting and great value for money!
