Great guide, great walking tour! - We went on a great tour of Liverpool and loved our guide, Dan. He was pleasant, very knowledgeable and answered so many of our questions. Walking tours are THE WAY to go!
Dan was also a wealth of knowledge on additional sights to see in Liverpool and where to go to eat and drink!

Excellent walking tour - This tour led by tour guide Dan was really interesting, he made it fun while telling us loads of facts and stories about the city, people & events that have happened along the way. The walk is easy for all who are looking to go on this tour with a few steps at one point. Lots of opportunity to take photos and ask questions about different spots along the way.
We would highly recommend this trip as you find out so much about buildings that you would otherwise just pass by without learning the rich & interesting history within.
10/10
Thanks for a wonderful few hours.

Walking tour with a local - Can’t rate this tour highly enough. Our guide Dan, was very interesting and amusing. It was a great start to our holiday,giving us a little local knowledge to make the most of our stay. Our group were in their seventies and were a little apprehensive about a walking tour but we found the walking pace and length of the tour to be perfect for us.Well done Dan. We’ll be back!

Exceeded expectations - It was an absolutely horrible morning, raining and windy. Rob turned up as arranged at the hotel. As the weather was too bad to walk around, he offered to drive us round in his own car. He went to get the car (some miles away) and then took us on a fantastic tour, pointing out all the sights and history. He was interesting as well as good fun. His knowledge of Liverpool was incredible, he is obviously and rightly proud of his home city. Would absolutely 100% recommend this tour!

Great few hours - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and welcomed lots of questions from the group. He was especially good with the kids.
Lots of information that we didn’t know about Liverpool even though we’ve been there before. Advised us places to eat and the hidden museum of the bunker under Exchequer Flags which was fantastic. Can’t recommend that enough.
Very knowledgeable, very informative. Very polite. Definitely go.
