A walking tour worth going on - An informative and enjoyable walking tour with our guide, Carl. I have visited Liverpool on several occasions but this is the first tour that i have been on & was well worth doing. The length of the tour, walking, & time spent on it was just right

Informative and fun tour - What a great walking tour. Rob our guide had expected to be giving the waterfront and city tour but due to a system error our small group were expecting the Cavern quarter tour. Despite this Rob went straight into the tour we all wanted. He was informative about the area past and present & had a great sense of humour. He took photos of us all at specific landmarks , gave us insider information and made the tour brilliant. I enjoyed everything & would highly recommend this and the waterfront tour too !

Great fun walking tour of Liverpool is a must-do for everyone! - On Saturday, 18th March 2023 we went on this walking tour with John, who was excellent. He obviously knows his stuff about Liverpool and gave us great insights into the history and social scene in this great city. As the group was so small, it felt like a personal tour, so it was also great to ask him about good pubs and other things to do! We would thoroughly recommend this tour as it was great fun and a good way to get one's bearings in Liverpool, for further exploration.

Great walking tour - We made a walking tour covering the most important spots of Liverpool, including Liverpool Waterfront, the Town Hall, Cavern Quarter and St George’s Hall. Our guide John was very knowledgeable, an expert on the city’s history, and gave lots of interesting information about some statues and buildings through our route. Also, as a former music teacher, he knew much of the Beatles’ history as well, and touring the Cavern Quarter with him was great. Definitely recommended tour!
