Fabulous fun and brilliantly 'executed' tour - Our guides were hysterically funny as well as very knowledgeable. The tour was an easy walk with a short stair descent at the end. A brilliant way to spend an evening in Liverpool!

Surprise Surprises - I’m dead to everything but this was really fun. Street pantomime at its best. Even the Mrs enjoyed it and she hasn’t enjoyed I’ve done with her since errrrrrr 1986

Fabulously funny and deliciously spooky! - Had a great time on this spooky tour. The stories were good and the history interesting and the actors clearly love what they do as they are outstanding and genuinely funny! The tour route was good and the guides moved us between stops at a good pace, keeping the whole group together and enabling other pedestrians to keep moving past. I was worried about how scary it would be as I'm a bit of a wimp but for me it was a good mix of scary and fun - it definitely wasn't me sobbing in the dead house at the end (but I did tiny feel a tiny bit sorry for them!).
I'd recommend this tour to everyone and I'm already planning on attending a different tour with some friends!

Excellent not to be missed experience - Absolutely amazing tour, probably the best ghost walk we have ever experienced anywhere and we've done a fair few across the UK.
Our host Chiller Black and Indiana Bones were fabulously theatrical and totally engaging purveyors of the darker side of Liverpools history and we learned so much about the city that we didn't know as well as visiting places that we never knew existed. The finale at The Dead House was utterly spine tingling and the beautifully executed story telling of the place's history and how it came to be was fascinating. We are 100% definitely going to book onto the other tours done by Shiverpool as these guides are simply the absolute best at what they do, looking forward to another tour very soon. Not to be missed tour. Well done to you both.
