Hi my name is Ruth, I would like to welcome you to my home town Liverpool, the very name conjures up images of a glorious maritime history, world-beating musical heritage, two of the Premiership's biggest football teams and not one, but two majestically different Cathedrals. It is now bulging with fabulous new shops, buzzing new restaurants, hip hotels and trendy wine bars, as well as a world class cultural offering with more museums and galleries anywhere outside of London, not forgetting its inhabitants, of course, who are famously friendly and will welcome you with pride. I am a born and bred Scouser and like all true Scouser's have great pride and love of my city and its culture I was brought up living on Penny lane and from a young age have always enjoyed meeting visitors from around the world who would come and visit and pay homage to the Beatles. I have shown many friends and relatives around the city and have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge of places of interest and past history. I've always had a real passion for Liverpool and its vibrant and fascinating history and wish to share that enthusiasm with visitors to my city in a relaxed, informative and entertaining way, humour is in our blood.

We absolutely loved our private tour of Liverpool with Ruth. She took us to hidden gems and remarkable places we never would have found on our own. St George’s Quarter was breathtaking — the buildings felt almost Roman in their grandeur. She also guided us through the Royal Albert Dock and the Three Graces with wonderful historical stories. The entire tour was filled with beautiful sights, great conversation, and fascinating insights. Ruth made the experience truly memorable.

We had a great time touring Liverpool with Ruth. She was very flexible to our needs and customized the tour so that we could see everything that we wanted to. Very knowledgeable about the city and she lived on Penny Lane!

Really enjoyed this tour by Ruth. She was accommodating to changes we proposed and was able to highlight Liverpool to first-time visitors. Since we were not huge Beatles fans, we asked to see other sites and were happy with what she chose. We recommend Ruth for an informative and exciting tour.

Despite the rainy and cool day in Liverpool, Ruth went out of her way to help ensure we all experienced the best this city had to offer. As a Liverpool native, Ruth was able to share not only interesting historical details of the area, but also lots of information about the local customs and interests. Ruth was super personable and flexible with our group, and suggested many things to see and do as only a local could. Touring with Ruth was exactly what we wanted from this day, and even though the weather could have been a bit more cooperative, we all had a wonderful time seeing and learning about this interesting city. Thank you again Ruth for sharing your knowledge, wit, and humor with us, and for safely and expertly navigating the streets of Liverpool with our group. We had a great time!

Your Liverpool tour itinerary

Our day and the time we start the tour is flexible and is meant to accommodate your schedule and interests. The tour consists of driving through various 'quarters' of the city and include time to visit one or two galleries or museums. Liverpool is a great shopping place and has great cafes and bars so there will also be time to purchase souveniors and have a snack and refreshments. Typical tour includes the main sights of Liverpool, The impressive Waterfront the home of our 3 graces , The former White star building where the Titanic was registered The two Cathedrals, The Albert Dock, The Pier Head, William Brown Street Beatles Cavern Club , China town St lukes Bombed out Church John Lennons Birthplace Ringo Starr's childhood homes I would recommend that you wear comfortable footwear and if the weather is cool then I would bring a scarf and gloves as we have a number of very tall buildings and open spaces which means that it can get pretty breezy in some parts of the city
