Heading to Liverpool? If you haven't left yourself a lot of time to sift through the city's immensely rich cultural heritage, you'll want to meet up with a knowledgeable local guide. On a private Liverpool tour you'll see the most unique, interesting and worthwhile parts of the city with a local who knows it like the back of their own hand.

History abounds here: in 2004 the whole of the waterfront and docks was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site because there are more listed buildings in Liverpool than in any other city in England except London. Your guide will take you to what interests you most, whether that's to a Liverpool FC footie match, the massive Cathedrals, or the city's famous Albert Dock.

This city didn't peak with the Beatles - in 2008 it was declared the European Capital of Culture. See it in all its Northern splendour with a proud Scouser guide on a private Liverpool tour.

Beatlemania! 5 hour shore excursion Beatles tour.

Growing up in Liverpool "The Beatles" definitely played a big part in my life. I remember back to my grandad playing me their records on his old record player and telling me stories of how he saw them play many times at "The Cavern Club". Fast forward 20-plus years and I am now the one taking people around the city and telling stories about the "Fab Four".

The city is filled with famous landmarks and places that are deeply linked to the band. On this tour we make our way to each one, taking in John Lennon's childhood home, Penny lane and the Cavern club - to name but a few. Not to mention the grave of Eleanor Rigby, who could be a relative of mine as we share the same surname (I really need to look into my family tree). Whilst in between each place of course being entertained by their greatest hits.

The story of The Beatles is such a special one and is best told in the city where it was created. So, book with me, and let's discover it together!

An inside look at the lives of John, Paul, George and Ringo!
