Outstanding tour and guide Dave. Liverpool is much more than just Beatles. The architecture and history of the city was very interesting. Our first couple hours focused on the port and city center. Dave was very knowledgeable and loves the city. Then we hoped an arranged cab and saw the Beatles highlights and the stadiums as well as many neighborhoods. We ended with a pub stop at the oldest pub in Liverpool. A great way to experience it all in one day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It’s great to know that the tour gave you a deeper appreciation of the city’s rich architecture, history, and culture, beyond the iconic Beatles highlights. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope to welcome you again in another city soon.
You will be walking in damp weather on cobblestones so wear good walking shoes. Chris, our guide was fabulous! He shared so much knowledge and connections to US history. Definitely would recommend the tour.
We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Chris — he’ll be delighted to hear your kind words. His deep knowledge and historical insights truly help bring the experience to life. Great tip about the walking shoes, too! We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
Was the experience of a lifetime dream. Dave is the most wonderful host, so friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We're absolutely thrilled that your experience was a dream come true. It's wonderful to hear Dave made such a lasting impression. Thank you for the high recommendation and we’d love to welcome you again on another City Unscripted adventure!
Pete was an excellent tour guide. He took us to specific spots I requested and we did a walking tour of the city. We saw so many beautiful and interesting places. He knew the history of the city. He helped find a place that had a specific gift I was looking for my grandson. We were both very pleased with our day we spent with Pete.
It’s always our goal to create meaningful, memorable moments, and we’re so glad Pete made your time in the city both personal and enriching. Think of us next time you travel, we have hosts worldwide!
Our guide Cody was great! He took topics we were interested in and put together a plan that fit our group, the energy of the day, and the temperature, tucking in to get a warm beverage on the cold day. He also gave us opportunities to adjust as we needed to. Highly recommend!
It’s great to know Cody kept things flexible and ensured a comfortable, enjoyable day. Thank you and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
This was our first time in Liverpool and really enjoyed the sights and music culture the city has to offer. Our local guide was very knowledgeable and made everything fun for us.
The tour was spectacular !!!!!!! we went by bus and it is called ...> Magical Mistery Tour. Very complete that takes you to know the houses where each of the Beatles lived, the tour lasts almost 4 hours and has several mandatory stops, is super complete and the excellent guide told us every detail of life, childhood and songs all about THE BEATLES, at the end of the tour leaves you very close to THE CAVERN and give you a discount ticket if you consume it. Really super recommended and has to be mandatory for everyone who is a fan of THE BEATLES!!!!!
