Given its geographical location, contrasting coastal and inland terrain steeped in ancient tradition, some would say that the North West of Ireland is truly the jewel in Ireland’s crown. Derry (or “Doire”) derived from the Gaeilge language word meaning “Oak” is a vibrant city located on the River Foyle in this region. With an abundance of historical landmarks to explore, you will be immersed in its lamentable past while attesting and embracing its transition to an energetic and dynamic city full of flavours and steeped in culture. The bordering County Donegal is a short 3km from the city. On this tour we explore elements of both. ➡️ This chauffeured private day tour is delivered by a Fáilte Ireland accredited driver guide. ➡️ This day tour is flexible and tailored for clients on the day to stop, go and explore. ➡️ Tours commence at 9am and finish at 5pm. Times are approximate and may be subject to change.

Located 250m above sea level, this spectacular hilltop site was visited by St Patrick who once baptized the high king Eoghan. Not far from here we visit the stronghold of the O’Doherty clan.

We had a fabulous day with Ian! He shared personal stories and showed us some beautiful sites in and around Donegal. Because the tour was private, Ian tailored the tour to our preferences and allowed us time to enjoy the day at our own pace. Highly recommend taking time to see this part of Ireland!

Our family tour of Inishowen Peninsula was truly amazing…Joe went way beyond my expectations, with his wealth of information about Ireland and our family’s history, his congeniality and diverse talents (he plays flute and sings)! He helped made my first trip to Ireland one I will never forget! Thanks Joe! Margaret Dougherty 24/08/2022

We had the great fortune of having Joe as our tour guide for a second day of exploring the amazing sites and history near Donegal, Ireland. Traveling the Wild Atlantic Way, we explored many places including Grianan of Aileach, Doe Castle, Glenveagh National Park, Glenveagh Castle, and more! Once again, Joe was so skilled at sharing the history of the locations. Why they were important at the time and today. Not to mention, he to excellent photos of us and the incredible views so we could have them as a reminder of our incredible day. Chieftain Tours provided us with a few amazing days during our time spent around Donegal and we sincerely appreciated the stories, history and the skilled driving to get us to all of these wonderful places. Joe and this tour were exceptional! Amazing history, stories, and incredible views. Learning about the people and places really provided the experience we were looking for. We were able to get lost in the locations and imagine what it would have been like to live back in those times… It was a transformational experience. Thank you, Joe and Chieftain Tours, for the education, memories, humor, and wonderful sights.
