Wow! We have done a lot of ghost tours around the UK, and this was absolutely the best one by far. From the moment we met our guides we were immersed in an evening of theatrical story telling all done with a brilliant sense of humour. We loved every minute even the 'spooky'ending. We lived to tell the tale!! Ten out of ten. Can't recommend this tour highly enough and next time we are in Liverpool we will be back for more spooky tales from the brilliant Shiverpool team.

What a fantastic night we had with our American friends. The 2 guides were amazing, their knowledge was excellent and even though we are local we still learned things. The theatrical element kept everyone included and it was just SO MUCH FUN!!!!

We did both of the tours offered by the team of Shiverpool. Both time our guides were the wondeful "brothers" Bones.
They are great storytellers, wonderful actors and excellent guides in terms of group managing (they used most of the techniques that were taught to me when I studied to become a guide). The visits were conducted at a confortable pace (not too slow, not too quick).
The background stories were both interesting and shiver-inducing. It allowed us to re visit places we had already seen but in a different light (with the spooky stories attached to the locations) and it made us look closely on things we would have not seen otherwise.
The tour were interatives as the guides asked for our participation and sollicited it even when we thought we would simply be walk-in between places.
We would definitely do it another time if we had the chance.

I was visiting family from England for the first time since I was 11, and this was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. Our guides ("Indiana Bones" and "James Vagabond") where excellent in everyway. The tour was engaging, the guides hilarious, and information fascinating. I cannot give enough praise to our guides, their effort and energy was outstanding. I will ABSOLUTELY be doing another Shiverpool tour next time I visit Liverpool!
