Absolutely fabulous. The tour guides were very knowledgable and made the whole experience very spooky and unnerving with a good shot of humour thrown in.

We booked it as a group tour and Shiverpool were so very accommodating with our request. Everybody who went along were both educated and entertained during the 90 mins tour which certainly flew by. It was great fun and everyone was surprised and enchanted by the stories and sights in the secret garden which is directly in front of the Anglican Cathedral but none of us had ever seen before.

Briliant Best thing we did in Liverpool! Entertaining, fun, slightly creepy no silly jump scares, we will be back next year to try a different one.

A fantastic experience for my wife and I. The guides were very passionate about the cemetery and its residents. A really interesting and informative tour with a good balance of humor and creepiness. A hidden gem among many in Liverpool and definitely worth the time.

We really enjoyed the tour, lots of interesting facts of Liverpool, would definitely do another if we return to Liverpool.. thanks once again for a scary tour.

WonderwomanLiverpool

Absolutely fantastic experience. We didn't he Hope Street Shivers tour as part of the Sunday night special deal. It was so well organised and executed. The cast were fantastic. This is a must do activity whether you are visiting the city or a resident. Everyone was included and the tour was informative as well as hugely entertaining.

I spent 3 nights solo visiting Liverpool, as my other half isn't into anything supernatural, and my main draw for coming was I love everything strange and have read all of Tom Slemen's Books based in Liverpool so of course I booked myself on two tours so I could see and learn about the darker side of Liverpool. Chiller Black and her Brother Indiana Bones were great and so funny I loved both tours. The tours were both very different to each other and if you have the time then I would recommend doing both of them. I wont give too much away but watch out for the The Goblin and the Holy Water. Thanks Chiller Black and Indiana Bones I had a great time x

Has anyone already said “funny as hell”? If not, I’ll go first. A very charming, funny and alluring way to tell the most gruesome and saddening stories of the city’s past. The performance was amazing and I could feel the Liverpool that was right around me (…again). Would recommend, especially considering the darker times that’ll come next (talking about the autumn here, not the current government agenda).

denniex2019

Amazingly exciting, interesting and just a joy to listen to Chiller Black! Would recommend anytime if you're into ghost walks and horror stories.

Lisa_B0801

Great evenings entertainment, we all really enjoyed listening to our main host, Chilla Black. The team were great at adding comedy and scares to some interesting tales about the gardens. Even some bats came out, adding to the atmosphere! We would definitely recommend for something a little bit out of the ordinary, and wouldn't hesitate to look up one of the other tours on another visit back to the city. Thank you to the team at Shiverpool!
