Excellent tour - a must do!
Published on Feb, 2025
Really enjoyed this tour! Gary was friendly, witty, and enthusiastic about the subject matter. We visited various locations, and learned historical facts as well as about the films and TV shows that were filmed in the area. The information Gary shared was accompanied by photos which really helped with visualising a different time. Also a few pop quiz questions thrown in which was fun! Highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors.
Memorable

We absolutely loved this experience. Gary was extremely knowledgeable and obviously passionate about his subject and tour. I love all aspects of my city but found a totally different view of it through this brilliant tour - I would highly recommend it to Scousers and tourists.
A MUST for any film fan!

We had a great time being led around our city centre by Gary, who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate! We had a laugh as we visited several filming locations and listened as Gary taught us tonnes of intriguing facts about Liverpool, cinema history and how Liverpool influenced film-making. We would 100% recommend to movie lovers and lovers of Liverpool.
