We recently joined the Liverpool Film Location Walking Tour with Reel Tours, and what a fantastic experience it was! Gary, our guide and curator of the tour, was absolutely superb — his knowledge of the film industry and Liverpool’s starring role in it was second to none.
We were fascinated to learn how Liverpool frequently doubles for cities like New York, Chicago, London, Manchester, and even Moscow, thanks to its stunning and versatile architecture. Gary shared so many behind-the-scenes stories and insider facts about the filming process, the productions that have been shot here, and the surprising ways the city is transformed on screen.
The tour lasted just under three hours, but the time flew by thanks to Gary’s engaging storytelling and the glorious weather that made it even more enjoyable. It was such a fabulous way to spend a Sunday afternoon, seeing the city from a completely new perspective.
Whether you're a film buff, a Liverpool local, or just curious about the city’s hidden cinematic history, I cannot recommend this tour enough. You’ll walk away entertained, informed, and looking at Liverpool with fresh eyes. Book on — you won’t be disappointed!
