Itinerary
When Liverpool falls under the atmospheric cloak of darkness, you’ll weave your wicked way to a central spot and greet your guide. Take your first tentative steps into Liverpool’s gruesome history as you stroll towards Rodney Street, on which 40 ghost sightings have been reported.
As you walk along one of Britain’s most haunted streets, listen to stories of restless specters said to roam after dark. Hear the tragic tale of Polly, a woman reputed to haunt the former nurse’s home, and feel your spine tingle at the story of ‘Lantern Jaw’, a ghost with a colossal jaw, top hat and flowing cape.
Continue to St Andrew’s Cemetery and uncover the mystery behind the legend-shrouded pyramid, said to contain the remains of a Victorian man who sold his soul to the Devil during a poker game.
Conclude your terrifying tour at the Anglican Cathedral — the largest, and reputedly most haunted, cathedral in Britain. In the graveyard, more than 58,000 bodies rest and recorded sightings of restless souls are countless.
After a 1.5-hour walk, bid your guide farewell outside of the cathedral.

Holly_P, Oct 2025
Amazing experience, tour guides were very enthusiastic and engaging. The tour itself was very interesting, and great to do solo!
Christine_M, Oct 2025
Absolutely the best experience...the 2 guides were terrifying in the best way possible.
My 2 friends and I were all made to feel genuinely welcome and included during the tour. It was very informative and although the weather was atrocious, we were all kept safe from the slippery paths, it actually added to the experience. Its a must do when visiting Liverpool.
Noreta_S, Sep 2025

Paul_W, Aug 2025
Very interesting and scary and funny , the hosts made the experience entertaining, very good locations as well
Donnie_R, Jul 2025
Chiller Black was extremely entertaining and engaging -- and a very talented actress! She and her sidekick were also very effective at herding the group along. We enjoyed every minute of the performance. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Tony_A, Jul 2025
The best ghost tour we've ever been on.
Not only was it knowledgeable, it was entertaining and fun. The theatricals were brilliant. Everybody should do this.
Max_J, Jul 2025
This tour ended up being so different than I expected. The subject matter of the tour took a complete backseat to the animation of the two tour guides. I've never met a pair of individuals that could entertain me and captivate the attention of the group more than these two. Grab a pint and join this tour for a great time in downtown Liverpool. Highly recommended.
Kim_L, Jun 2025
We had a good time on the ghost tour, tour guides were funny and acknowledged. We enjoyed the evening with the ghost story. We recommended it
Sarah_T, Jun 2025
We’ve done a lot of walking tours across the world, and I think this was the best large-group one we’ve ever had. The guides (a guy and gal whose names I now can’t remember 😩) did really well herding us all throughout the tour, but also employed so much theatricality and teamwork it was impossible not to enjoy! Their performance was really well-choreographed, providing information and LOTS of entertainment. Also, it’s definitely a city full of students and/or young people, and the guides did really well redirecting heckling. The finale was my favorite, but the whole tour was a blast!
Susan_R, May 2025
It was fun and entertaining. We got to go to a cemetery and find out about all the ghost. Fun stories.
Elizabeth_P, Apr 2025
My family has done quite a few wonderful ghost tours in different locations over the years, and this one is by far our favorite. Our two guides on Saturday, April 12th were absolutely perfect - maybe even better that perfect, if that is possible! We laughed so much, and enjoyed all the spooky tales. This tour is well worth your time in Liverpool! In a league of its own, truly.
chris_p, Dec 2024

Dave_W, Oct 2024

Our hosts were both knowledgeable engaging and funny and we all agreed that Shiverpool was the highlight of our short trip to the city
Would definitely recommend this trip to others
HenrikMannerop_M, Oct 2024
Superb entertaiment and great scares all around the route. Really good. I will definitely recommend this to everyone who is traveling to Liverpool to get around the Shiverpool, for both history and how they tell the story.
I would have given they six starts if it was possible
Daryl_S, Aug 2024
