What you’ll do

Imagine exploring Liverpool with one of your old friends? Think of this experience exactly like that - and to be honest, in this happy-go-lucky city, pretty much everyone you meet will be a friend by the end of it.

Keen to explore the city’s maritime vibes? Then cruise down the Mersey and explore the Royal Albert Dock. Or are you and your old friend (you know, the one we mentioned earlier) more into sipping cocktails on rooftops, eating at industrial-style street food markets and galleries like Tate Liverpool?

Your local Liverpool host knows just the spot if that’s the case. This is your time and the ball is in your court so tell us what you’re into and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

In just half a day you’ll see a side of Liverpool that you’ll love!

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 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!

David was AWESOME! It was like walking around a new city with an old friend. So much knowledge and at just the right pace and style. We could NOT have asked for a better day in Liverpool. The City is even more beautiful because we toured it with him and really saw it through a local's eyes.
