About this experience
Discover Liverpool, one of the most iconic cities in the UK, on our epic walking tour!
For the best introduction to the city, start your Liverpool exploration with our Waterfront tour takes you on a rags to riches journey along the docks. We'll show you the port's humble beginnings to its greatest treasures, including The Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool Town Hall, and the elegant Castle Street. You will also glimpse the city's dark dealings in slavery from the 17th to 19th centuries. Of course, it wouldn't be a waterfront tour without introducing you to the buildings that 'grace' the city's skyline from the waterfront itself, aptly named The Three Graces: the secrets of Liverpool's greatest industry success lie between them.
On top of all of this, you are more than welcome to ask your tour guide for recommendations, stop for selfie's, discover cool hangout spots, find trendy bars, and learn more about Liverpool's hidden gems.
