You would be a fool to miss these brilliant tours! - Shiverpool organised a tailored version of their City of the Dead/Dead House tour for our group, making it a bit more architectural. They did the same for us 2 years ago. In both cases the tour was absolutely brilliant, and there was enough variety between both to make both experiences a pure joy, even if some of the group did nearly soil themselves with fright. Wonderful, informative and actually an even better experience just as the sun was setting than it was 2 years ago in the dark. Not to be missed! Colin and the CIAT NW crew

Super Spooky Evening! Can't recommend enough! - Just survived the Auld City & The Dead House Tour after surviving the Hope Street Shivers Tour back in October - we love a dance (or walking tour) with death! Definitely one of the best things to do in Liverpool & as locals we can't recommend it more! Love learning more about the city in this extremely entertaining format & we can't wait for the St James Cemetery Tour to start up again. Recommend Shiverpool for lovers of Horrible Histories, ghostly tales, the macabre & a good laugh! We bought an Ultimate Shiverpool Tour Ticket this time around & the map & goodies are fantastically well made - definitely well worth the extra pennies! Thank you all so much, looking forward to the next one!

Great Fun! - Fantastic 90 minutes of storytelling. We have taken part in many ghost walks in York, Edinburgh and Prague and this one is up there with the best! The two gentlemen hosting were entertaining and theatrical throughout which helped set the scene for each of tale. They also did well to deal with some disruptive locals without breaking character! Highlight was the dead house which really set this tour apart from the others. Great way to spend an evening with a teen. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

A great way to spend an evening in Liverpool - Our 2 guides were in character from the moment we arrived and provided us with a fun and scary tour. Such a great (and different) way to spend an evening in Liverpool. Highlight had to be the visit to "The Dead House" at the end. Loved all 90 mins of this tour.

Skipping, dancing, green demons and a trapdoor - just really good, silly fun! - A ghost walk like no other I’ve experienced - hugely entertaining hosts, brilliantly performed with enthusiasm, humour and some excellent dance moves! The ad-libbing with the general public added to the whole surreal adventure - laughed so much it hurt. Thoroughly recommend and hope to return for another tour soon!

Amazing, must - do experience - The 'auld city and dead house' tour was absolutely amazing, our hosts Indiana Bones and James Vagabond really brought the tour to life (and death). An absolute 'must-do' experience if you are in Liverpool,
