    This tour was so much fun and not at all scary. There's definitely hesitation thinking about going…read moreunderground, but there aren't any small spaces here. 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.

    This is the Hop On Hop Off bus that tours the city. There is a separate one that does the Beatles…read moreTour. We got the Daily Double ticket. 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. Our commentator was Helen and she was an amazing wealth of information and dry humor. 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. We forgot and we got left standing out by the Cathedral and had to walk back.

    The perfect way to see Liverpool is by an open top double-decker City Sightseeing tour bus. These…read moreare bright, fun, visible buses which are easily recognisable and there are 11 well placed hop on and hop off stops that enable you to see, from a bird's eye view, the city's many diverse sights and attractions. The ticket is valid for 24 hours. You can visit places of your choice and jump on a later City Sightseeing bus with frequent departures throughout the day. The opening times in the summer are 10am-5pm and in the winter 10am-4pm. This affordable tour, with pre-recorded audio commentary, provides an interesting and entertaining insight into this fantastic city, with a duration of around one hour. A child's ticket only costs £4 and an adult is double the price. For what you are getting, it is worth the complete tour especially if you are a tourist who easily gets lost!
