What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the rich heritage, culture, and history of Liverpool on a guided walking tour. Hear personal stories that bring the history and culture of the city to life from the time of King John to the modern day.

Stop at many of the city’s iconic buildings and landmarks, showcasing some amazing architecture, both historic and new.

As you pass through Derby Square, hear about the history of Liverpool Castle that once stood here and is now home to an imposing monument to Queen Victoria.

Located on the site of Liverpool's first dry dock, learn of the maritime history of Liverpool that is captured in the large water fountain. See the oversized LIVERPOOL selfie sign for which the colours change to reflect the season or events throughout the year.

As your guide escorts you around the waterfront to the famous Royal Albert dock, learn how the Titanic storey became an internal part of the maritime history of Liverpool, and how the docks have played an important role in the development of the city.

Collectively called the The Three Graces, learn about the history and heritage of the Grade II listed Cunard Building, The Port of Liverpool Building, and of the iconic Liver Building. Exchange Flags is a Grade II listed and its buildings form a splendid courtyard that faces the Town Hall.

As you walk along the vibrant and bustly Mathew Street, you will be walking in the footsteps of many musical icons. Mathew Street is one of the most famous streets in the world, and is synonymous with the Cavern Club and amongst other famous musical artists, The Beatles.

As you walk towards the current Grade I listed Town Hall that is recognised as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls in England, hear about the history of its predecessors that dates back to the 1500s.

Along the way, see some standout architecture, old and new and there will be a chance to grab a selfie with the fab four as you pass by the fabulous and iconic Beatles Statue that was sculpted by Andrew Edwards.
