  • 5We loved it YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

    Thoroughly enjoyed the whole walking tour experience. Patrick was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the tour. His use of anecdotal information and his sense of humour blended well throughout the cultural element and the Beatles nostalgia. Very much a value for money session which we would recommend to anyone.

  • 5Marella Cruise Excursion

    We did this tour as an excursion from the Marella Explorer Sail the Irish Sea cruise last September. We thoroughly enjoyed the stops to see Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields before going on to see the outside of the Cavern. The guide was very informative and available to answer any questions we might have. We opted to stay and stroll in the Dock area as by this time the Covid rules allowed us to wander. This area of Liverpool is vibrant and interesting and well worth a visit.

  • 5Brilliant Tours - The clue is in the name !

    Brilliant Tours - Clue is in the name - just brilliant ! Helen took is round all the Beatles sites ( Cavern Club etc), but also showed us the other interesting and historic parts of Liverpool, walking from the Library to the Waterfront. She is a really knowledgeable ( being ex Police) and most of all entertaining guide with some great stories. The tour is just the right length of time, is relaxed and perfectly orgainsed. - Loved it !

About Liverpool

Liverpool is a maritime city on the River Mersey in north-west England, known for its docks, two cathedrals and as the birthplace of the Beatles.

Liverpool grew into a major world port in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Pier Head still shows it: the Royal Liver Building and its two neighbours, together called the Three Graces, stand side by side above the Mersey. Behind them lies the Albert Dock, a former warehouse complex of red brick and iron columns that now holds galleries, shops and the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

Top-ranked sights in Liverpool: Liverpool Cathedral, Strawberry Field, Penny Lane.
