Some International Coverage
Thank you to the Christian Science Monitor for this very insightful piece about homelessness and Derek’s story.
“Since I started this tour, it’s completely and totally rejuvenated me. I feel like I’m living again, and I want to live again. I feel like I have a contribution to make.” - Derek McGuire
More Amazing Reviews in April
“Fantastic idea! A communitarian look at the oldest part of Dublin through the eyes of someone who both worked with the homeless and has been homeless himself…”
“Derek was humble and knowledgeable about the area and its history, weaving in his own experience of homelessness as we progressed. ”
“Derek gave a great description of life for Dublin's poor, historically and in the present day, with the very personal touch that he has been through it himself, describing it with a very moving dignity and understanding. Memorable. Congratulations and thanks to both Derek and the organisers of Secret Street Tours.”
“Just what I love in a tour: off the beaten track, mix of history, social issues, and personal experience ! Derek was just great.”
