Highly recommended! - We picked the worst day ever for this city walk. It was windy, raining and even snowing. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of our guide Dan. We were the only participants, so we had our own private guide. Dan showed us interesting spots of the city and knew an awful lot about the city and its history. We are glad we took part in this walk. It is definitely highly recommended. And we would like to thank Dan again for braving the bad weather.

A Tour Not To Be Missed - I can't recommend this activity enough. Martin was our guide and we could not have had anyone better. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable and invited interactions with our group. He was interested in our backgrounds and encouraged us to share our impressions as well as questions throughout the tour. He accommodated a request for a coffee shop and brought us to a lovely local (not Starbucks) establishment that also had freshly baked goods. Given the detail and our relaxed pace at each of our stops, our tour lasted 2 hours instead of the advertised 1.5 and Martin clearly enjoyed the extra time he spent with us. My son and I arrived just the night before and it was our perfect introduction to the wealth of highlights we are currently enjoying in Liverpool.

Insightful tour - On time and ready to explore. My wife and I feel privileged to have been introduced to Liverpool. The broad display of knowledge, coupled in a contextually significant manner. No rush and very willing to explore areas specific to group inquiries. You guys rock. Thanks again!
