Best of Liverpool Private Tour: Beatles, Anfield and Hidden Gems

5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered

Liverpool's icons, hidden corners and the stories only a local knows, on a private tour with a born and bred Liverpool guide. Pickup from your hotel or the cruise terminal.

Walk the gardens of Strawberry Field, then find the Eleanor Rigby grave at St Peter's Church, Woolton, where John met Paul in 1957. Then on to Penny Lane.

At Anfield's Shankly Gates, hear how Everton played here first, until a row over the rent in 1892 led to Liverpool FC being born. Then the view most visitors never see: the whole city from Everton Park.

On the waterfront, the Liver Birds keep watch. Legend says if they ever fly away, Liverpool will cease to exist. We finish at Liverpool Cathedral, the biggest in Britain, and the Georgian Quarter.

Lunch is a surprise: local Liverpool food and drink in an incredible setting (pay as you go).
