This is THE tour to choose

Colin_P, Mar 2026
There are options to choose but this is the best one. The route captures all the key and interesting places. The people giving the LIVE commentary are extremely knowledgeable and very amusing.

Would recommend but.....

Sharon_M, Nov 2025
Would recommend but.....the tour guide/speaker did not know his left from his right, kept stating the wrong locations and as it was raining and already hard to see, we missed quite a lot of things whiulst looking on the wrong side of the street

Great city tour

Peter_M, Nov 2025
This was a very good way to see Liverpool-we went around the city,and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent way of seeing the sights.

Try a different company

David_R, Sep 2025
Bus was not on time. Dirty buses. Hard to find stops. Politically incorrect jokes instead of tour info. Bus driver couldn’t issue tickets from out scan as stated on the website. We were told to get that done at stop 1. Wasted time. Volume on speakers could be turned down. Sound like a rock concert…

Great way to be introduced to a new city

Brian_M, Aug 2025
Great way to see the city. We did a couple loops around before hopping off and on, taking the opportunity to sit in the upper deck as soon as it became available where it was easier to see what the tour guide was describing. We experienced 3 different guides, each had different things to add about the city during the loop, and some easier to understand through the speaker system and accents.

So so Hop on / Hop off. Much better in other cities.

john_t, Aug 2025
Guides were too loud and not timely with the sites. A little more development about what we were about to see and more history.

Great City Overview

Lynne_S, Jul 2025
David was a fantastic and knowledgeable commentator on our City Explorer Sightseeing Bus. He also had a great sense of humour, but still managed to tell us lots of historical and interesting stories!

The hop on hop off bus...

The hop on hop off bus was helpful in learning about the various areas of the city and helping us determine where to get off the bus.

Good tour, great guide

Loredana_C, Jun 2025
Good tour however you can see all just walking if you can walk . Pretty informative. Recommending it

Did not disappoint!

Donna_S, May 2025
Phil, what a great time we had on your tour! Informative, funny, great stories! Highly recommend! For a two-hour walking tour, it was over (sadly) before we knew it. Well done, Phil!

Lots of good information,...

Jon_R, Mar 2025
Lots of good information, friendly guide, excellent locations and god value. Also well located and easy to find.

Value for money

Soumyadip_P, Dec 2024
It was astonishing for us the way the trip offers to hop on and hop off at the desired spots and spend our time so effortlessly. Definitely recommend it. The narrator was thorough and funny

Informative and Fun

Christine_M, Sep 2024
The tour was very informative and fun. It was a great way to see the downtown area. We rode the full circle around then picked a few stops to hop on/off.

Brilliant way to see Liverpool

Kelli_B, Aug 2024
Excellent way to get round Liverpool and the guides were knowledgeable and good fun - Viv and Sean Loved it

Faboulous

Hajra_K, Jul 2024
The good hospitality of the hosts and their history knowledge was amazing. We loved their stories and kind gestures. It was so welcoming and entertaining.

Great way to see beautiful Liverpool!

Jennifer_A, Jul 2024
Great tour of the beautiful city of Liverpool! Great tour guide who provided excellent commentary of all the sites. Our tour was a city tour only (which we wanted) - make sure to book the Beatles tour if you want to see those locations. Highly recommend!

Interesting and...

J_C, Jul 2024
Interesting and knowledgeable guides brought Liverpool to life for our friend who had never been before. We are all pensioners and some of us can't walk very far, so it was an interesting way to see the city. Would definitely use again

Great fun in Liverpool.

Owen_J, Jul 2024
Very knowledgeable tour guides, great way to experience the city for the first time. Would book it again.

Terrible

Stanley_P, Jun 2024
The guide was hard to understand due to his fast talking and thick accent. The speakers on the bus did not help the situation. We had to sit down stairs due to the number of passengers. In order to see the Beatles, you must purchase a different bus pass with the same company. Over all, I would not recommend..

Did the round trip twice!

Kathy_G, Jun 2024
There was so much to learn about, we did the full route twice. Really enjoyed Matthew st. and the Beatles Museum there. Had a proper pint at a local pub.

Great tour for Liverpool first-timers

Susan_E, Apr 2024
Good tour for people who don't know Liverpool. Takes you to the main landmarks and is valid over 2 days, which is great, as it's impossible to do it all in one day if you get off and visit the landmarks. We had 2 different guides during our tour and they were very different in their manner. We didn't appreciate the unfunny 'adult humour' of the male guide, but really enjoyed the lady guide's tour, which was entertaining and informative.

Enjoyed the Yellow bus tour

Caroline_M, Feb 2024
Very good informative bus tour the man giving us all the information and chat was very good highly recommend

A very good tour

Gaye_W, Oct 2023
Very clean buses. The staff were really friendly & a good commentary. Buses turned up on time. It was warm enough to sit outside on the top deck.

Great Experience

Richard_A, Sep 2023
Speakers were fantastic and did a great job bringing the history to life! The stops selected were perfect and we really had a great time.

Entertaining and convenient

Livia_C, Sep 2023
Garry was hilarious and shared lots of interesting facts about Liverpool! Nice way of going around the city.

Great tour

Helen_A, Aug 2023
The guide, Viv, was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable/informative . Great to be able to hop on and off.

Nice and easy

Robert_L, Aug 2023
How easy to validate our tickets. Short ride but sights were amazing sites. Keep the promise of buses every 20 minutes was great

Would NOT recommend!

Noran_R, Jul 2023
Terrible! Hopped off and the bus never came back by. Called the office and they said to just keep waiting, that the bus comes by every 15 minutes and was nearby, but over an hour of waiting we had to get an Uber ourselves. If you just want to ride the loop and not get off, maybe it would be better.

Liverpool is a lovely welcoming city !!

69dk46bzng, Jul 2023
Interesting and informative commentary . Loved Liverpool would definitely go and visit again . We were in a family get together and there was plenty for the different age gaps to do

A great way to see a lot

Nancy_W, Jun 2023
We were on a cruise and the bus was easy to find once we disembarked. We had a wonderful narrator on the bus, Viv. She had plenty to share about the city and had great jokes. It was a great way to see the city and we were able to hop off and do a few activities that we wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
