They do have elevators for anyone thinking they can't walk around much. Billy and Allison were incredible tour guides. Not only funny, but very knowledgeable. This tour is 6£ per person, cash only. You need to call or email ahead of time to make a reservation, since they can only take so many people at a time. You go through the old control room, the ventilation systems around and under the building, into the tunnel where the cars are, and then underneath the road! So very cool, since you can only ever go there on this tour. The history behind everything truly makes you appreciate science/ engineering and what people have done decades ago, and it's all still used today! I recommend this tour to locals and visitors Bring a sweater! It gets chilly down there.

You will be escorted inside to the ventilation station to see the control room and fan chambers. From there, it then takes you down to the road deck and then deeper still to walk under the road to view one of the safety refuges. The staff in charge of the tour do suggest that it is unsuitable for people with breathing and walking difficulties so this is a factor for sufferers to be aware of. It is also recommended to wrap up warm. Some main features include a personal guided tour of Georges Dock building, as well as the ventilation station for Queensway Mersey Tunnel which in my opinion is a must see. This tour is a fascinating journey, helping you to explore what happens beneath the city streets! At just £5 admission for a 2-3 hour tour, its a great deal.

We did the CHESTER: North Wales Adventure - Sightseeing Day Trip Tour from Chester on July 4th, and…read moreit was one of the best experiences we've ever had on a tour, thanks largely to Gerry. Gerry was the best guide we've ever had. He shared great stories, engaged in meaningful conversations, provided outstanding attention, and demonstrated exceptional driving skills. Since we were a small group, we moved faster than expected and were even able to make an extra quick stop. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to anyone. If you can, ask for Gerry and tour with him--he's truly passionate about his work, history, and the outdoors, and he conveys that passion brilliantly. Gerry played a significant role in making our trip enjoyable (along with the nice weather).

For a reasonable discount price you get to ride all day and take the Mersey Ferry over to the other side of the river. It's a bargain. Make sure you get the one that has a person do the commentary.

She made it more fun with her historical facts.The stops are located throughout the city and allows you to see the highlighted ones that are so popular. They run all day but, stop around 5:00 pm.

Really great ride...for a quick turn and burn on the Mersey Ferry's Snowdrop…read more We hopped on the ferry from the Gerry Marsden Pier (Liverpool side) and hopped on and off (but you don't have to) Seacombe (Wirral side). Since we skipped the 50min tour (we were already on a bus tour two days prior), we made it a quick out and back via the commuter ferry times. Going before 9a.m. (or after 5:30 p.m.) will save you in cash and time. The staff both on shore and aboard were extremely helpful and nice. They made the trip seamless, and it's probably 10min one way (10min back). It's too short for seasickness, so it's twice as good. It was an iconic trip (even as brief as it was), and you can do it on the cheap, and TIP: Pay on the other side! Recommend the commuter ferry!

The portion of the Old Dock on view tells stories from Liverpool's past, not only as an emerging maritime port but also of the engineering feat that it took to build it. If you fancy a revealing glimpse into Liverpool's past, this hour long tour is free to book so you can't really complain! Tours start from the Merseyside Maritime Museum at the Albert Dock and take place on Tuesdays at 11am, 1pm and 2.30pm. Places do tend to fill quickly so it is advised to book in advance.

Hidden beneath Liverpool ONE the Old Dock was unearthed by developers in 2001. Following this the excavation of the area featured on Channel Four's Time Team programme in 2008. The free tour is so worth it and because it is only every Tuesday it just feels really special. But surely it could be open to the public for more than one day a week? It was really interesting to learn of how important the design of the dock was, how the port prospered but sad that the Old Dock was eventually considered too small to deal with the amount of maritime traffic. Objects found in the dig are on display and a giant screen shows an animated view of how the view out from the dock would have looked in 1715. On the tour I was only able to view the east section of the dock which included a tunnel which is thought to have linked to Liverpool Castle.

Recent remarks have indicated that even locals are surprised at what they don't know! If you are a tourist here then perhaps this is a tour you ought not to miss. From daily visitors corporate and locals alike, this journey is said to surprise, stun and amaze many. The tour takes approximately 2.5 hours and costs £38 for two people or £45 for 3-5 passengers which isn't bad considering the length and depth of the tour.

Someone who can show you around, someone who knows the place like the back o their hand. Someone who can give you a heads up on the low down. Well Red Jack tours does just that. Everything you need to know about Liverpool is accessible on the tour, look for the man with the red umbrella and he will take you on a nice walking tour of the city. This is a comprehensive tour which will take you from the historic waterfront, through the city centre, including Mathew Street of Beatles fame, and up to the two Liverpool Cathedrals. During the course of the tour, the expert "Alan" will detail the history, culture and humour of Liverpool. The 3.5 mile (5km) tour lasts two hours. The tours are very popular and due to safety requirements he can only take a certain number of people at a time so I'd recommend you go on the website and book ahead. It's only £5 for adults / £2.50 for kids / £4 students. Although it is more apt for overseas visitors I would recommend it even for those who want to hear a local's take on the locality. Much recommended.
