Liverpool is a fabulous city and it is very easy to miss some of the memorable sights unless you do a walking tour. Rosemary was an exceptional guide, shared brilliant information, told great stories and answered all of our questions. Absolutely recommend for anyone spending time in Liverpool to do a walking tour!

We had an amazing tour guide (female - sorry can't remember her name) who was so knowledgable about both the Beatles history and landmarks and the maritime history of Liverpool. Would totally recommend this tour. We also wouldn't have known to go to the Strawberry Fields museum had our tour guide not told us about it. Which was another highlight of our trip.

We had a lovely guide called Elizabeth. She is so knowledgeable about Liverpool. We had a really good tour. There was a film production company in the centre of Liverpool, they were filming the new Batman movie and Elizabeth was even able to give us information about a previous Batman movie that had been filmed in Liverpool. The 2 hours past quickly has she had so much to tell us about the Beatles, the waterfront and the architecture of that part of the city. She made us feel very welcome to Liverpool. She's a credit to your company. Would so recommend this tour. Thank you Elizabeth.

Carl was absolutely outstanding! He took me around and showed me the various sites related to Liverpool and Beatles history. I loved visiting The Beatles statues, walking by the port area, visiting Matthew Street, admiring the beautiful historic and modern buildings, and more! I made sure to tip Carl, accordingly, especially since I ended up being the only one who showed up for the group tour. He gave a very personalized tour and utilized photos to show me where historical events took place and more! He even took photos near iconic sites, landmarks, and statues. He was exceptional at that! You must go on a tour with Carl! I hope you enjoy the photos! Inside The Cavern Club, there were various other individuals who took photos of me. I hope you enjoy the photos, feel inspired to feel creative, to take photos of your own, to ask questions of Carl, and to enjoy this lovely city!
