Latest reviews from our guests

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.

Dave was an outstanding guide. From his pre-cruise communication to his knowledge and love of Liverpool he made it a great experience. The architecture was a surprise and he went through the history that created it. We saw the top sights and also some hidden gems for the first part. Then we hopped in an arranged cab and saw the Beatles highlights and the stadiums, ending with a pub visit. Six hours in Liverpool was a perfect time.
