Hello - My name is Neil, I am 70 years young and I have lived and worked in Liverpool for all of my life! I am a great admirer of the city, its people and its culture. I have been guiding since 2012, surpassing 375 tours for Toursbylocals during that time. I am happy and proud to report I consistently receive 5 STAR reviews for my tours and will endeavour to ensure this continues. You and your group will always be at the centre of my focus and I am always on hand to advise and assist you to get the most out of your time, both with me, and maybe plans for later, if you have more time in Liverpool. I firmly believe that the best way to explore Liverpool is by foot. My pace is relaxed and can be adjusted to suit all levels of mobility. Our City Centre is compact but never too crowded with lots of space in its many squares and parks to sit back, rest and enjoy the atmosphere between exploring the places and sights I will guide you to. The place is steeped in History and people are amazed to learn the extent Liverpool has played in shaping modern history. I have been astonished too at the changes to my home cities landscape over the last 20 years and have witnessed the resurgence of Liverpool to become an exciting and remarkable tourist destination. I will be proud to guide you through it's many wonderful attractions. Please take a look at my tours and reviews, if you would like me to customise a tour for you send me a message and I will endeavour to put something together for you that will be truly special! I often say my earliest memory, at the age of eight, was hearing the roll of drums that opened the Beatles first massive hit 'She Loves You' on the radio, my love of their unique sound and melodies has never diminished since. Ever proud of our most famous sons Beatles fans will find Liverpool still dances to the Mersey Beat! I am especially proud of my Beatles Experience tours, a truly personal journey through the story of their meeting and early days. Liverpool has some atmospheric old pubs each can tell a story or two about Liverpool's incredible history. We can include one or two of these in your itinerary - tours can be extended to include a Pub lunch sampling "Scouse" (Liverpool's local delicacy!) best enjoyed with a "Bevvy" (Ale) or "Black Stuff" (Guinness) Just let me know if you are interested! Please feel at liberty to combine short walking tours or ask me to customise a tour in order to fully meet your needs. Small groups can sometimes be accommodated by use of a car if mobility is an issue. If you should book a tour with me you will hopefully find me, as others do, a warm and friendly man with a wicked sense of humour and a genuine love for his City. I look forward to meeting you and sharing an unforgettable day out! 375 tours delivered for Toursbylocals in Liverpool, over 13 years, Loves local History.

Neil did a great tour of Liverpool and a high light was his knowledge of Beatles history. Strawberry Fields had just reopened so that was a real treat! Then we went to Chester for a genuine pub lunch and toured Roman Gardens and ruins. Since many of Beatles homes are occupied by residents cannot go into them but just seeing the buildings and streets/neighborhoods that are their songs ie Penny Lane Strawberry �� Fields was fun & now the songs have meaning for us. Waters & McCallins thank you Neil!!!

We love tours by locals! Today was another great day given to us by Neil.
