A Recent Review of this guide

Barry was an excellent guide and met all our objectives during our tour of Derry. His background and knowledge make him a great resource person with respect to Derry and the Troubles. Barry said he provides guide service all over Ireland. Based on our day with him, I suspect he would be excellent any where
