Overview

Welcome to my darker "dander" around the Walled City and meet some of its darker LEGENDERRY characters.

For the quality of experience for its guests, this tour has restricted group numbers.

Normally starting from the Visit Derry tourist office in Waterloo Place, we will walk in and around the Walled City, pausing off to hear some of the darker, spooky or haunted history of this ancient city.
The city currently hosts the largest Halloween Street Festival in Europe between 28-31 October each year.
An alternative start point for private tours can be made available on request from the Peace Tree on Browning Drive but all tours will normally finish at Visit Derry.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
