Latest reviews from our guests

Let me begin by saying this. My guide was amazing. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about Liverpool that my time spent in constant awe. He actually knew everything and everyone! This was the best 3 hour tour I ever have taken. (I feel foolish not remembering his name) forgive me. He’s in his 50s. Young, fit an artist….. knew everything about every brick on every wall, knew everything and introduced me to all the people he has as friends along the way. The food was great. I filled out a questionnaire and he followed my wishes perfectly…. Great time, we strolled around talking like old friends….. he had a nick name. My point is this. I now have a friend in Liverpool. I cannot recommend this tour any better than an a+ experience. PAUL CODEMAN! That’s it…. that’s his name. Ask for him by name. We did anything I wanted to do. Paul was like the mayor of Liverpool and I felt like his best friend. Seriously…, these 3 hours have been the best part of my 90 day cruise on ncl. People. Trust this company, trust Paul. I’d ask for him 200 out of 200 times. I have a new best friend and he lives in Liverpool…pleasant, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, considerate….. and I was given everything I was promised and more. Ask for Paul. I can’t stress it enough. He knew perfectly how to structure the perfect day just for me. A+

This tour could not have been better! Our guide, Paul Codman (Coddy) was an encyclopedia of information about Liverpool, its history and especially its music scene. We really enjoyed his company and expertise. We had a lot in common, given his musical interests and background, and conversation flowed freely as we sat and enjoyed the best of Liverpool's food and beverages. Our tour focused on exactly what we were interested in and we feel we got our money's worth and then some. The only problem was that it was over all too quickly! I'd do it all again in an instant if only we could.
