Tour guide in Liverpool England Claire R.

I'm the most enthusiastic tourist and expert Beatles guide and historian you'll ever meet and I've met Sir Paul! As a published author of A-Z Liverpool Hidden Walks, I will be delighted to show you around the City. I have been guiding as a qualified Blue Badge Professional Liverpool & Chester Tourist guide since 2013 and have taken many wonderful explorers (such as yourselves) around not just Liverpool, but Manchester and Chester but also further afield such as North Wales, Stratford on Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace) as well as Yorkshire. I have also taken people to find their relatives and discover where they came from, which is always fascinating. Myself and guiding colleague Neil McD (also a top ToursByLocals Guide) ran Liverpool Beatleswalk and Brilliant Tours until the Covid pandemic and now we work as freelance guides. In 2022, I was approached to write a history book for the esteemed global publisher Harper Collins, as part of the A-Z (Maps) Hidden Walking Tour series. The project was so complex and required such detailed research that the only person to work with was Neil, my guiding partner of 10 years. We worked away tirelessly researching all kinds of subject specific walks around Liverpool and on Wirral (on the other side of the River Mersey) and we are very proud of our efforts. If you are with us for the day, we usually have a copy on us! I have recently retrained as primary school teacher (which is my second educational University Masters degree (I have an Msc in Marketing Services)) and now work part-time as head of English and Art in a specialist secondary school. Prior to teaching and running our tour guiding business, I was head of marketing for National Museums Liverpool where I worked for 13 years and absorbed so much history and art from all the amazing collections in our art galleries and museums across the city. We mounted exhibitions on The Beatles, The Titanic, American Transatlantic History, The Slave Trade as well many others on aspects of life in Liverpool and international art exhibitions from the 1400's to contemporary times. Professionally I have also initiated many music festivals which take place in Liverpool and its possible you might see and hear some of them, as we explore the city I love. I will be simply delighted to show you around Liverpool, no question is a silly question, though I'd hate to disappoint those of you who might assume Abbey Road is Liverpool, as its in London, I'm afraid. So whether you are simply interested in a general tour of the city, a tour based on your own interests or want a more specific highlights tour including The Beatles, I will do my best to make your day memorable. Very best wishes and I look forward to meeting you.
