Hi, My name is Ruairi . . . . . I was born and raised in Derry's Bogside, and I'm one of the city's longest established tour-guides and resident red head! I'm an accredited and professional guide with 19 years' experience and have had the opportunity to guide thousands of visitors around my beautiful city and throughout the north of Ireland. This is not just a job to me, my biggest passion is home. I love to talk about this place and share what our great country has to offer. "Tá grá agam don teanga. " I love the Irish Language! I'm a fluent Irish speaker and was one of the first generation of children to be educated through the medium of Irish in the city during the modern language revival in the North of Ireland. I have a great love and passion for Gaelic culture and my tours usually end up in a seisiún or two! My tours focus on our countries history, culture, and politics but I also put across my own personal experience having grown up during "the troubles" in the north of Ireland. I offer a range of tours of the city of Derry, including specialized tours of the Bogside area. This area has been directly involved in many of the key events of the 'Troubles', including Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside and the Hunger strikes. In more recent years the Bogside has been transformed into a modern, vibrant estate and the famous political murals of the 'Bogside Artists', which chronicle the history of the conflict, have made the area the most popular visitor attraction in the city. I will explain the history of the area in detail and can offer a unique insight into the ongoing peace process by providing the opportunity for groups to engage with leading political figures who were directly involved in bringing the troubles to an end. I cant wait to meet you! and I hope after your time with me you come to love my country as much as me! - National Vocational Qualification - Level 3 NVQ in Travel and Tourism services (Guiding) - Registered Level 3 guide - Qualified in Tour guide training at OCN level - World Host Ambassador

Ruairi and driver Randal did an excellent job of getting us to the Bushmills Distillery, Giant Causeway, and Carrick-a-Rede at our scheduled times. Ruairi was very informative and entertaining along our drive.

Our tour was exactly what we were hoping for. Ruairi planned the day so we were able to do everything we hoped to do. He told us the history of the country from his perspective, shared music, and responded to the questions from our family ages 21 to 82, keeping us all engaged and entertained. Excellent tour guide and driver and comfy large van. Thank you!

The tour guide we booked suddenly quit. But the Tour By Local team was very responsive. They helped us find another tour guide, Darin Ferguson in Belfast. Darin is very knowledgeable and humorous. He made good suggestions for the places that we ended up going to. They were not in our plans but were more fun.
Your Belfast tour itinerary
•Bushmills Distillery- The Oldest licensed Distilled whiskey in the world! We can browse in the extensive gift shop, or make a visit to the bar to have a swift taste or two of the famous tipple! -a guided visit inside is optional- •Dunluce Castle which is now a ruined Castle that was originally built in the 13th century. This incredible place sits on the Antrim coast surrounded by magnificent panoramic views. •Giant's Causeway, Irelands only World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Named the fourth natural wonder in the United Kingdom. Spend some time climbing over the ancient stones, snapping photos, and enjoying the myths and legends that surround this world-famous attraction. •Carrick-a-rede Rope bridge. The brave among us can make the terrifying trip across the bridge (weather permitting) * that was originally erected by salmon fishermen. Those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on land can take one of the exhilarating walks and enjoy the stunning views. Customization possible upon request!
