Ghoulishly brilliant, filled with horrors, history and laughs! - Such a unique way to explore the beautiful city of Liverpool. An expertly delivered tour, worryingly convincing from both Indiana Bones and Chiller Black, they take you through ghoulish tales of Liverpool’s most haunted spots finishing with an ending that will certainly chill your bones! I cannot recommend enough, and I look forward to going on the other tours on offer. Get booked in!!

We are local and wanted something dun to do in our city and it didn't disappoint. It would also be a great thing to do as a tourist in the city. Thanks for a good evening Indiana Bones and Chiller Black! We throughly enjoyed it.

Fantastic ghost tour - We are huge Shiverpool fans and The Auld City and Dead House tour did not disappoint! Just the right mix of funny and scary stories to entertain all 4 of us (including 2 teenagers) and the ending to the tour was something we won’t forget in a hurry! The guides are witty, knowledgable and it makes for a great tour. We also love seeing parts of the city we haven’t visited before. We would definitely recommend!

The Best Ghost Tour I Have Ever Been On - On April 10, my mom and I went on this ghost tour of Liverpool. I have been on many ghost tours before when I travel, but this is the most entertaining and fun ghost tour I have ever been on. Our guides told us scary ghost stories, but they also kept us laughing. The running joke on the tour was that they were going to kill us and we would not be returning. When we passed people on the street, they told them to say goodbye to these people, they won't be seen again. I love learning the paranormal history of cities when I visit them. It's a fun and entertaining way to learn more about the darker side of a city. The finale at Our Lady and St. Nicholas Church was one of my favorite parts of the tour. I won't say what it is, but just that it is well worth going on this tour to go down into the morgue at this church and find out what awaits everyone on the tour. I also purchased the Shiverpool Ghost Map, which I recommend getting. I did manage to survive the tour alive, but just barely. Don't miss this tour if you go to Liverpool.

Great fun! - I did the tour with my sister last week and we both had such a great time! We had Indiana Bones and James Vagabond as our guides and both were fantastic performers - really fun and engaging. The experience is really great value too, especially considering all the effort and skill that goes into it. Would definitely want to book another tour next time I'm in Liverpool!

Solo birthday treat - I had the best evening. After deciding to not spend yet another birthday home on my own i gave a quick google to see if theres anything i could go to alone. Shiverpool came up. I booked It less than two hours before it began. I expected there to be groups of people and me be the only one by myself but i werent! It was such an amazing experience and can easily be done solo. Weather youre on your own or youre in a group its a brilliant experience. I booked another tour for a fee days afterwards which again ill be attending on my own, so excited and thanks to the team for making my birthday (unknowingly) the best ive had in a very long time.

Gloriously ghoulish family frightfest - This was our second Shiverpool experience and it definitely lived up to our expectations and more. Fascinating history, legends, comedy and creepiness with a few surprises thrown in from a couple of lads who are great guides and storytellers for the walking tour - this has to be one of the best experiences in Liverpool for both tourists and locals wanting to know a bit more about their city.
