Guide #59260
Hello, I'm James and I already can't wait to show you around Liverpool and the North of England. I am a fully accredited Tour Guide with 7 years experience, not just in Liverpool but all over the North West. I was born and bred in Liverpool which makes me the perfect companion for your shore excursion or visit to the best city in the world! I am a Blue Badge Tourist Guide for the Liverpool City Region which means I have passed 8 exams in order to achieve this qualificiation. Outside of Liverpool, I have a home in North Wales which is ideal if your cruise ship is docking at Holyhead and like to share my knowledge and hidden gems of not only Liverpool but the picturesque North Wales and the Medevil Roman city of Chester. I also own a fully licensed air conditioning luxury vehicle for up to 6 people, with an amazing panoramic roof and captains seats, the vehicle is fully licensed and insured, as well as myself being fully licensed to carry passengers around the country! I have experience in directly managing groups of up to 600 people for both tour companies and corporate groups and designing specific itineraries for different groups with different needs, whether it be mobility issues or specific sights I will be able to design specific ideas depending on your groups demands and needs. I can also arrange travel if required for larger groups. If you do have any specific sights that you would like to see then please do let me know and I will accomodate these into any tour or shore excursion. I have managed a tourist office at the heart of the city along the Pier Head, managing up to 20 guides at a time at the Cruise Terminal so I am highly experienced in organising and managing tours on cruise ship days and know how crucial time is. Liverpool is a fantastic city with lots of history, with things such as The Beatles, I live a stones throw from where the Beatles met, played and lived so I consider myself to be a bit of an expert! Not only do we have The Beatles, we have a city flooded rich with culture, nightlife and history, I'm sure you already know a lot about Liverpool but that is where I will help out by showing you the things that you wouldn't have seen. I am a huge sports fan, having followed Liverpool Football Club home and away since I was a child, I am also highly knowledgable in Everton Football Clubs rich history and other major sporting events that we play host to in the city every year! Every year I attend the worlds most famous steeplechase horse race festival which is the Grand National. There is so much to see and do in my city, I would love to be the person to show you around, if you are here for a multi-day tour of the UK please do get in touch so we can start planning your itinerary together. Outside of my tour guiding, I have had a career in Car Sales, I am also a fully qualified chef so rest assured I will take you to the best eateries in the city and can cater to specific dietary requirements, I hold a Batchelor of Science in Business Management, I have a specific qualification relating to my vehicle licence to ensure that I am fully qualified and safeguarding of all my clients at all times.

What a fun time we had and we learned so much about the Beatles. Our tour guide was fantastic and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Excellent! James is knowledgeable, personable, very adaptive and focused on what his guests want and need. One family member is in a wheelchair and he made both the walking and driving parts of the time with him work with no issues. We would enjoy having a point with him- when he is not leading a tour. You can’t miss with James.

Hello Colleen. Thank you so much for this great review. I’ll never forget the rain on this tour! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your cruise and hope to see you again in Liverpool soon! Bye for now

His local roots are immediately obvious and he really knows his stuff and his way around. Our group of six saw and experienced so many things, and it put all of the pieces together. ...
