Excellent tour, well worth doing. - Our guide Dan, a self-professed history nerd, was so knowledgeable about the past of Liverpool! We learned things we had never heard of.

Liverpool with a Local - a must do!!! - This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide (sorry I forgot your name!) was so friendly and full of local knowledge and even recommended a great, budget-friendly place to get some lunch. My favourite part was The Albert Docks

Thank you Martin! 10/10 - My friends and I visited Liverpool for the weekend and booked this walking tour. Martin was so enthusiastic and friendly. He had great knowledge about the history and gave us recommendations of things to do later (we went to Ma Boyle's! It was as good as you said!). Even my friend who lives in Liverpool learnt something new. Would definitely recommend.
