Excellent tour and very knowledgeable and friendly guide!!! Liverpool is a wonderful city to visit!!
It was the little stories behind the buildings etc that we saw and background pics the guide had that made it special. He was a retired French teacher and I was just glad he kept mainly to English as we had a French couple as well in our small group!
Our tour guide , Camilla was fantastic. You just she loves Liverpool and the Beatles. She is so enthusiastic and cheerful . And most of all she sounds like she loves her job. Kudos to this Italian young girl with passion in what she do.
Roy our guide was very knowledgeable and had photos of how it looked in the past as well as props to handle. He was happy to extend our tour at the end to include some history of the Beatles.
Very informative, guide was full of interesting facts about a range of different topics. She also injected humour into the tour which is always helpful.
Gary was our tour guide absolute gentleman and very knowledgeable we got a great day for it which helps would highly recommend.
Great tour of Liverpool History and Beetles history! Roy was on time and even recommended a restaurant and pub that were outstanding.
Gary Friday was our tour guide and he was excellent. Our tour was Beatles-centered but he was also very knowledgeable about other aspects of Liverpool as well. Thanks!
We took a 3 hour back cab tour of Liverpool. Main focus was history. Phil the guide was excellent. We learnt loads and he took account of our lack of mobility. We really enjoyed it.
Amazing, friendly tour leader Gary Friday took our party from the Britannia cruise ship along the streets of Liverpool to a querky 1930’s pub for beer tasting followed by a visit to Matthew Street and the original Cavern Club entrance. The tour started off in torrential rain and we went through deep puddles along the way but Gary made it fun and everyone enjoyed his knowledge of Liverpool. The pub staff were excellent, friendly and welcoming, serving us with three types of beer and delicious scouse. The incredible thing about Gary was how he quickly learnt our names - considering there were 20 of us! I would absolutely recommend this tour. Thank you Gary!
