Traveller reviews
Absolutely fantastic tour. Peter was really enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable about everything we were interested in - architecture and history. We learnt a lot more than expected and covered a wide area of the city centre. Will definitely do some of his other tours. Highly recommended.
Very personal tour interactive and knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. What an underrated city. Not to be missed
I absolutely loved this tour! Our guide was fantastic: friendly, patient, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. He made everyone feel welcome and never made the tour feel rushed. What I particularly enjoyed was how much extra information he shared along the way. It wasn’t simply a matter of taking us from one scheduled stop to another. He added interesting stories, historical details and little tidbits that brought Liverpool and its history to life. We saw a wonderful mix of the city, its architecture, waterfront and, of course, its incredible Beatles history. I came away feeling that I had learned a lot while also having a genuinely fun morning. A great introduction to Liverpool with a guide who clearly knows and loves the city. I would absolutely recommend this tour, especially to anyone visiting Liverpool for the first time. Thank you for such a memorable morning!
Liverpool has a great deal of beautiful architecture which this walking tour highlights. Coming from a cruise ship, the meeting place is very close and walkable. However about a 15 minute walk back to the pier at the end.
Great guided walk in Liverpool. Peter is a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable and really brings the buildings and history of Liverpool to life. Highly recommended for Visitors or locals looking to learn more about the city.
Peter was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the area! His passion for architecture and history truly brought the city to life. You could see his knowledge reflected in the buildings, the city’s layout, and the fascinating stories he shared about the Bluecoat and the Liver Birds. His tour was both informative and engaging, and I learned so much about Liverpool’s history and character.
Peter was an excellent guide; he was personable, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. The pace was just right so you never felt like you were either lagging or rushing. He presented the history and architecture of Liverpool very well, and also gave us a sense of what it’s like as a local. We saw the major sights but also got a taste of areas off the beaten path. He had an answer to just about every question we asked, offered to take photos, and we ended the tour right outside a nice little pub. Definitely two hours incredibly well-spent. Highly, highly recommend booking him if you’re visiting Liverpool! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We ( family from London) were privileged to learn from Peter and also enjoy the city with him during our tour of the Southern docks and street art in Liverpool. Peter is super knowledgable and knew an immense amount about the local history, urban regeneration, and art. He brought many hidden pieces of street art to our sight! It was fabulous! Peter is also an artist himself and has a deep understanding of his city and community. Thank you Peter for your welcoming kindness and sincerity today. We wish you the very best! Devyani and family ( including a happy tired doggo Jazz)
