Getting to know Liverpool better - Although my friends come to Liverpool often and myself occasionally and we have been to many of the sights we wanted background historical information to places. Carl didn’t disappoint

A Tour Like No Other! - Mike's tour was a demonstration of pure excellence. He knows Liverpool like only a few people do and tells interesting stories about its heritage. He spoke loud and clear the entire time and did not refuse to answer any questions.I really recommend his tour through Liverpool.

Colleen was a gem! - Colleen was a terrific tour guide! I was lucky to get her all to myself, as it was a cold day in January and no one else signed up. She grew up in Liverpool and was very knowledgeable. She gave me a very thorough history lesson about Liverpool and then walked me through the downtown area, seeing all of the important sites. I learned a lot. More expensive than most tours I’ve been on, but worth every penny.

A great way to see the city and understand its history - I highly recommend this guided tour. Through the extensive knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide Mike, not only we saw the main buildings and sites of the city, but most importantly the history of the city came alive in front of our eyes and it all made sense. Thank you for a great experience.

This tour is a must if you want to learn more about the history of one of Europe’s most iconic cities - Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide, Michael. We learned so much about Liverpool’s history, from the glory days of the docks and the incredible architecture resulting from its financial boom, to the present incarnation of Liverpool as a cultural and entertainment hub. Highly recommend this tour!

Fascinating introduction to the city - While history can never be explained in great detail in a day, much less in 2h, a very knowledgeable guide (shout out to Mike!) giving a brief history of the city is an excellent start to understanding how Liverpool came to existence.

Thoroughly enjoyed! - This was a very interesting tour, and well worth the money. The guide clearly wanted to address all questions that the group had. He did over-run, but the pace of the tour felt right and it definitely wasn’t too long. Our group was quite small (7), presumably because of the time of year which made it all the more pleasant. Overall, thoroughly recommend this tour.
