Well worth it

Published on Mar, 2025

Excellent - informative and entertaining tour. There's a lot of information packed into this two hour walking tour, well worth it.

Great tour-- fascinating, fun, and informative!

Published on Mar, 2025

John was highly knowledgeable about the history of Liverpool and its place in shaping world history. He really does cover 800 years in two hours in a fun and thoroughly engaging way. I highly recommend doing this tour on your first day as he gives lots of great ideas for other things to do, eat, and see. I learned so many cool things and now I can't wait to visit Liverpool again!

Best Walking Tour I have Been On

Published on Mar, 2025

This was one of the stand-out moments which we had in Liverpool. It's a walking tour, but you only really walk for around 1km or 2km and within this short, city-centre distance, the history of Liverpool is revealed in its geography (the River Mersey etc.) and its buildings. John is both fascinating and funny - and made it entertaining for adults and kids alike (we had two 12 year olds who loved it). I could not recommend this more!

Interesting walk with passionate guide.

Published on Mar, 2025

Guide Chris took us on a 2 hour walk through Liverpool's history. He was so knowledgeable, and could tell his story with such passion that I could have listened to him for several more hours. I was actually sorry when the tour ended. Such a great guide and very interesting experience. As a fellow tour guide I was genuinely impressed.

Informative and thoroughly enjoyable walking tour with a knowledgeable historian.

Published on Mar, 2025

A truly fascinating couple of hours. John really knows his stuff (he's a qualified historian), and takes you from the three Graces around the city, pointing out landmarks and explaining their history, until you end up on the city centre (a stones throw from the Cavern club). He explained how and why the city developed, and the technological innovations that made Liverpool a world leading port. He also gives advice about things to do in the city and places to eat and drink. Hugely enjoyable and educational. 10/10.
