Where It All Began: The Beatles’ Liverpool (4 hours)

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.
