5.00It was an excellent tour! There was about 15 of us on the group led by the tour guide ‘Dan’. Dan knew absolutely everything and kept the tour exciting and interesting, he knew the answer to every question which shows it’s not just a job but a passion for him. Loved every second and the price for the duration of the tour was well worth it!

5.00Great tour. Dan was awesome. It was great way to hear some of the darker stories but also so educational about Liverpool history and architecture in general. All the family loved it and were properly engaged including both teenagers so what more can I say !
