Traveler Reviews

There were only two of us but our guide made the tour very interesting and spent more than two hours with us. Answered all our questions and personalised the tour to reflect what we had already seen and what we were interested in. Would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a introduction to Liverpool.

Great trip. Started our trip to liverpool with a trip with Edward. Great knowledge and answered all our question about the city.
