It's a very personalized experience. Our guide , Coddy, took us to the things we wanted to see. In our case? Historic pubs ,city landmarks and the best fish and chips. It was more like sharing food , beers and stories with a local friend! Great time

It was a very pleasant afternoon with our guide. He really wanted to make sure we saw and learned about our interests, not jus the typical things to do. He was very flexible and it felt like we were visiting with a friend.

Tara_V, Jul 2025

Amazing and fun experience Paul “Coddy” showed us all of the sites we wanted, as we walked through Liverpool. The experience is like walking around town with an old friend. He tailors the day to what you want to see, do and eat. 10/10, highly recommend!

Paul knocked my socks off! 100% recommend him!

marc_f, May 2025

Let me begin by saying this. My guide was amazing. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about Liverpool that my time spent in constant awe. He actually knew everything and everyone! This was the best 3 hour tour I ever have taken. (I feel foolish not remembering his name) forgive me. He’s in his 50s. Young, fit an artist….. knew everything about every brick on every wall, knew everything and introduced me to all the people he has as friends along the way. The food was great. I filled out a questionnaire and he followed my wishes perfectly…. Great time, we strolled around talking like old friends….. he had a nick name. My point is this. I now have a friend in Liverpool. I cannot recommend this tour any better than an a+ experience. PAUL CODEMAN! That’s it…. that’s his name. Ask for him by name. We did anything I wanted to do. Paul was like the mayor of Liverpool and I felt like his best friend. Seriously…, these 3 hours have been the best part of my 90 day cruise on ncl. People. Trust this company, trust Paul. I’d ask for him 200 out of 200 times. I have a new best friend and he lives in Liverpool…pleasant, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, considerate….. and I was given everything I was promised and more. Ask for Paul. I can’t stress it enough. He knew perfectly how to structure the perfect day just for me. A+

Response from Host, May 2025

Wow, thank you for such an incredible and heartfelt review! We're absolutely thrilled that Paul made such a lasting impression and gave you a truly unforgettable experience in Liverpool. It means the world to us that this tour became a highlight of your 90-day cruise. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Paul—he’ll be over the moon! Thank you again for your trust and enthusiasm.

This tour will be just what you're looking for!

Susan_S, May 2025

This tour could not have been better! Our guide, Paul Codman (Coddy) was an encyclopedia of information about Liverpool, its history and especially its music scene. We really enjoyed his company and expertise. We had a lot in common, given his musical interests and background, and conversation flowed freely as we sat and enjoyed the best of Liverpool's food and beverages. Our tour focused on exactly what we were interested in and we feel we got our money's worth and then some. The only problem was that it was over all too quickly! I'd do it all again in an instant if only we could.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We’re over the moon to hear that your time with Paul (Coddy) was everything you hoped for and more. His deep knowledge of Liverpool—especially its iconic music scene—paired with his warm personality and shared musical interests, sounds like the perfect match for your tour. It’s wonderful to know the experience was so tailored to your passions, and that you felt it was not only valuable, but truly memorable. We totally understand the feeling of not wanting it to end! We can’t wait to provide you with your next best experience—hopefully just as unforgettable!

Joe was our guide. He was very accommodating, and tailored the tour to us and our interests. Focusing on history and the changes of the area. He answered all questions and went at a slow pace. The place he chose for food and drinks was nice and very local feeling. Truly enjoyed our time here and learning about so many things. Joe was a wealth of knowledge and was ever so eager to share it with us. He even stay past time to walk us back to the ship. He truly was focused on ensuring we enjoyed ourselves and not the stop watch. Highly recommend him.
