Tour cancelled - The tour was cancelled due to family issues for the guide. We were given a refund and an offer of a free tour the next day. I thought that this was very fair. Sadly we could not take up the offer.

Brilliant walking tour of Liverpool - Excellent walking tour of Liverpool. Our guide today (29/12) was brilliant (also a Blues fan which was a bonus!). Saw some really interesting places that you wouldn't find without a guide. Two hours well spent

Great history lesson - John was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and informative history of Liverpool and the origins of the city. We learned a lot about the city we know and love with in depth origins explained. Lots of opportunities to ask questions. Must do.

Disappointing! - Trip booked two weeks in advance as only staying in Liverpool for a couple of days with family and friends. Trip cancelled by guide by email 50 minutes before start time!! Very disappointing!! Surely another guide could have done it. Would not recommend booking this trip. 😡
