What you’ll do

We’ll be honest, in a city as friendly as Liverpool, you’re never far from someone who’ll happily help you out if you’re looking a little lost.

But no one likes looking like a tourist on their first trip to a new city, so skip that step completely as you weave your way through Liverpool with one of our friendly local Liverpool hosts and get to know its personality - you’ll feel like a local in no time, we promise.

Your host would love to share with you their favorite places to eat, hang out and explore, and make recommendations for the rest of your trip.

Feel like a pint of real ale in a brewpub then an exploration of Royal Albert Dock to kick things off, or maybe ask your 101 questions about Liverpool over afternoon tea and a stroll through the elegant Georgian Quarter.

You’ll get the low-down on the best places to eat, drink and be merry, as well as some local tips and tricks for how to navigate, where to visit, and what’s good in the neighborhood where you’ve set up camp.

Amazing walking tour with a really knowledgeable guide. Joe was lovely, an ex-teacher and local, who put us at ease from the start. Flexing the tour to suit our interests and ability, nothing was too much effort. Would highly recommend.

Amy Nov 2024

Our recent trip to Liverpool, London was enhanced by an amazing 3 hour walking tour throughout the city with our tour guide Peter. He was extremely knowledgable, entertaining, and brought us everywhere. One of the best aspects of this tour was that we were able to curate what we wanted to see. Peter worked with us to design our tour to our specifications. We had such a fantastic time and Peter also provided us with several recommendations for local pubs and restaurants including a little hidden gem pub called Bridewell where Charles Dickens frequented. Our only regret was that we booked the tour our last day in Liverpool and wished we had booked it for our first day as Pete provided such a great understanding of the city it would have assisted us during our stay. Absolutely recommend!

Pete was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about the city. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and showed us everything we wanted to see. On top of all of that he was a really nice bloke. Can’t recommend Pete enough!

Pete took me all over central Liverpool. It felt like no stone was left unturned. He took me to a lot of places I would otherwise not have seen. He was kind, regularly checking in with me and was really making sure I got what I was looking for. Well done.

Peter the tour guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and a Liverpool native. He went above and beyond during this tour due to a scheduling mishap by City Planner.
