Liverpool - A Surprise & Wonderful Experience

Kristi_M, Jul 2025
Dave was an outstanding guide. From his pre-cruise communication to his knowledge and love of Liverpool he made it a great experience. The architecture was a surprise and he went through the history that created it. We saw the top sights and also some hidden gems for the first part. Then we hopped in an arranged cab and saw the Beatles highlights and the stadiums, ending with a pub visit. Six hours in Liverpool was a perfect time.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for this fantastic review! We’re so glad Dave’s passion and thoughtful planning made your day in Liverpool so special. It sounds like the perfect blend of top sights, hidden gems, and local culture—what an unforgettable experience!

Lots to see in Liverpool

There is a lot more to Liverpool than the Beatles. We enjoyed all the history we learned and Ian was an energetic and delightful guide to the city.

Fabulous Tour by a Knowledgeable Local

Lexi_S, Apr 2025
Amazing walking tour with a really knowledgeable guide. Joe was lovely, an ex-teacher and local, who put us at ease from the start. Flexing the tour to suit our interests and ability, nothing was too much effort. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Awesome tour of Liverpool

Abigail_H, Jun 2024
Wow wow wow! Just an amazing experience with our guide Joe Peters! He hit all the high points of Liverpool and we had an unbelievable experience at Anfield. Joe was so patient also as my mom was a little slow and we made some unexpected stops. I couldn't recommend him more! Just amazing tour of Liverpool and Anfield! We got the real behind the scenes tour ❤

A hero!

Michelle_H, Apr 2024
Robert went so far above what was expected to deliver an amazing tour, despite truly horrible weather. As a walking tour would have been grim, due to driving rain and wind, he offered a driving tour instead. Went miles to get his car and then gave us a brilliant tour round the city and extending out to the Beatles former homes and sights. He is an absolute star!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Sounds an amazing tour! We are delighted that despite the weather, you enjoyed your time with Robert! Thank you!
