Riveting and Poignant- a learning experience extraordinaire.
marybW3644KM, Mar 2025
As a Canadian who returns often to my birthplace of Derry, I was riveted and gladdened by the Herstory tour. Through the well researched, poignant and very informative yet accessible lens of filmmaker Anne Crilly, I was introduced to the women writers, leaders, factory workers and suffragettes who were sometimes written out of( his)tory. The story of the arrest and subsequent trial and execution of Miss Cicely Jackson, a servant woman was heartbreakingly sad and so unjust. I encourage everyone to take this tour to learn about our sisters so that we can be aware and learn from their stories and strength as we go forward in our uncertain times. Bravo Anne.
A fun, engaging and informative tour you should definitely book next time you're in Derry

The Derry Herstory Tour was a unique and informative experience that highlighted the forgotten stories of local Derry women! Anne is an amazing tour guide whos tongue and cheek way of weaving stories and delivering historical facts made for a very entertaining hour! I would definitely recommend booking the tour if you're visiting Derry soon or even if you're a local looking to learn more about the city!
