Edward gave us an excellent tour - it was fun as well as informative - we had a very enjoyable time. My friend is dependent on a mobility scooter for all of her access and we would both like to thank Edward for making sure we saw everything and adapting the route to ensure this happened.

Great tour filled with stories and sights

Jonathan_K, Jun 2024
we had an amazing half day with Edward. He was knowledgeable and relaxed and had so many stories of the are as a native that added color and context to what we were seeing. A little Beatles and a lot of Liverpool history with some U.S. Civil War history thrown in made for a great, leisurely and long walk through the city. highly recommended!

Wonderful day in Liverpool

Edward our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of fun little insights. He gave us a great overview of Liverpool and the Beatles. The meeting spot is about a 2 mile leisurely walk mostly along the waterfront from the cruise terminal. Lots of cabs available if preferred.

Fabulous, informative tour with a knowledgable guide
