Joe was wonderful tailoring my experience and answering all my questions about Liverpool. With snow and rain impacting my chosen time for the tour, Joe was flexible, helping me by taking a detour and pop into the shops to purchase wet weather necessities! I learnt so much and it was such a valuable experience. Thank you Joe.

Our tour was amazing! Perfect mix of historical sightseeing, local cuisine, and cute and quaint downtown spots off of the beaten path. Pete (our guide), we could not have been happier with! He was very knowledgeable, attentive to what we wanted to do/see, and was a welcoming and friendly person- 10/10!

Our guide Cody was great! He took topics we were interested in and put together a plan that fit our group, the energy of the day, and the temperature, tucking in to get a warm beverage on the cold day. He also gave us opportunities to adjust as we needed to. Highly recommend!
