Excellent tour of the city with fun and interesting commentary throughout from our knowledgeable guides. Realy enjoyed all the nicknames for the various buildings and streets. Really well worth the money. We hopped on and off throughout our journey around the city with ease. We will definitely be doing it again on our next visit.

I liked the information given and very informative. I had also forgotten the Catholic church was called Paddy's Wigmam. l also loved the famous toilets. everything was as he said. I really enjoyed myself despite the weather.

despite being the only one the tour went ahead. Muy guide was very knowledgible in respect of the beatles and folks connected with them but he also told me about the history of Liverpool so I learnt a lot.

Absolutely loved the whole tour, such great information given, and in such a way to make it a happy enjoyable trip.
