Shiverpool? Count us in! - We did both of the tours offered by the team of Shiverpool. Both time our guides were the wondeful "brothers" Bones.
They are great storytellers, wonderful actors and excellent guides in terms of group managing (they used most of the techniques that were taught to me when I studied to become a guide). The visits were conducted at a confortable pace (not too slow, not too quick).
The background stories were both interesting and shiver-inducing. It allowed us to re visit places we had already seen but in a different light (with the spooky stories attached to the locations) and it made us look closely on things we would have not seen otherwise.
The tour were interatives as the guides asked for our participation and sollicited it even when we thought we would simply be walk-in between places.
We would definitely do it another time if we had the chance.

Can't Reccomend it Enough - I was visiting family from England for the first time since I was 11, and this was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. Our guides ("Indiana Bones" and "James Vagabond") where excellent in everyway. The tour was engaging, the guides hilarious, and information fascinating. I cannot give enough praise to our guides, their effort and energy was outstanding. I will ABSOLUTELY be doing another Shiverpool tour next time I visit Liverpool!

Dramatic, dark and entertaining - On this cold and very rainy evening the sensible thing would have been to stay inside, but I can't resist a ghost tour, especially in a new city.
The two guides were fantastic, giving lots of information in an entertaining, animated manner, interacting with the crowd (and some passers by). Of course the information was mainly centered around the ghostly goings-on but there were some interesting tidbits about the city in general. The ending of this particular tour was in a place you'd walk by without noticing, very different.
I hope to come to Liverpool again, and I'd definitely book another one of the Shiverpool tours.

Ghoulishly brilliant, filled with horrors, history and laughs! - Such a unique way to explore the beautiful city of Liverpool. An expertly delivered tour, worryingly convincing from both Indiana Bones and Chiller Black, they take you through ghoulish tales of Liverpool’s most haunted spots finishing with an ending that will certainly chill your bones! I cannot recommend enough, and I look forward to going on the other tours on offer. Get booked in!!

We are local and wanted something dun to do in our city and it didn't disappoint. It would also be a great thing to do as a tourist in the city. Thanks for a good evening Indiana Bones and Chiller Black! We throughly enjoyed it.

Fantastic ghost tour - We are huge Shiverpool fans and The Auld City and Dead House tour did not disappoint! Just the right mix of funny and scary stories to entertain all 4 of us (including 2 teenagers) and the ending to the tour was something we won’t forget in a hurry!
The guides are witty, knowledgable and it makes for a great tour. We also love seeing parts of the city we haven’t visited before.
We would definitely recommend!

The Best Ghost Tour I Have Ever Been On - On April 10, my mom and I went on this ghost tour of Liverpool. I have been on many ghost tours before when I travel, but this is the most entertaining and fun ghost tour I have ever been on. Our guides told us scary ghost stories, but they also kept us laughing. The running joke on the tour was that they were going to kill us and we would not be returning. When we passed people on the street, they told them to say goodbye to these people, they won't be seen again. I love learning the paranormal history of cities when I visit them. It's a fun and entertaining way to learn more about the darker side of a city. The finale at Our Lady and St. Nicholas Church was one of my favorite parts of the tour. I won't say what it is, but just that it is well worth going on this tour to go down into the morgue at this church and find out what awaits everyone on the tour. I also purchased the Shiverpool Ghost Map, which I recommend getting. I did manage to survive the tour alive, but just barely. Don't miss this tour if you go to Liverpool.

Great fun! - I did the tour with my sister last week and we both had such a great time! We had Indiana Bones and James Vagabond as our guides and both were fantastic performers - really fun and engaging. The experience is really great value too, especially considering all the effort and skill that goes into it. Would definitely want to book another tour next time I'm in Liverpool!
