If you want to know about Liverpool history this is for you. John will tell you what you want to know and almost certainly answer any questions you have. He brings the buildings, docks, river, and city to life with stories and his personality and passion for the city shine through. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Plus some good tips for where else to see and where to eat the best Scouse in the city. Thanks John we enjoyed our couple of hours with you.
