Besmirching

One of the most informative and engrossing walking tours I’ve done. So much of the city’s history is explored and discussed. I was looking for a great historical tour that had nothing to do with the Beatles, as they tend to overshadow everything else. This was the tour for that.

C2898ANjeanettem

Our tour guide John Cullen had vast knowledge about Liverpool Two hours of non stop facts We really enjoyed the tour Thank you

allibSuffolkUk

We came to Liverpool with little knowledge of its history, beyond The Beatles, football and the ferry across the Mersey. John, our guide’s, knowledge was very detailed and we were happy to soak up all the facts he was able to share. He speaks in a very engaging way and we feel a bit more informed than when we arrived. Thank you John.
