Great guide to a great city
Janmikealexel, Sept 2025
This was our first time in Liverpool since a brief visit in the 1970s. Roy was an extremely knowledgeable and personable guide who led a really interesting tour around the central areas of the city. The tour was just over 2 hours but it went by so quickly as the content was so absorbing and wide ranging. Thank you so much for a great introduction to Liverpool.
