About
Tours in:
The United Kingdom

I am an accountant by profession but a historian by passion. In October 2018, I established Derrie Danders Walking and Audio Tours and seek to deliver "historically accurate" and "politically neutral" tours of my home city, where I have been born and bred. I am extremely proud of my city and love telling visitors of its role in many of the conflicts and historical events of the past and am optimistic of its important role in the ongoing peace process in the future.
I am an authentic story teller of local history.
I am pleased to be assisted by Bronagh from BM Tours Ireland in my French language tour, by Erin from Tutours in my Spanish language tour and by Terry from Walled City Tours in my Cityside, Bogside and Walled City West Tour.
In addition to listening to my range of audio tours, why not also book a real walking tour, both private or public small group walking tours - available direct through my website www.derriedanders.co.uk. Also a range of specialised history tours are available too.
