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.

No show tour and no response from tour company - We were at the meeting place at the meeting time and waited 5 minutes. No tour group. Emailed tour company and got no response. Requested a refund from Viator and was offered a different day instead.
