9 History Tours in Liverpool Worth Booking

1.Haunted History Guided City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 404 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $26Our pick

Explore Liverpool’s haunted Hope Street, two cathedrals, dark local stories, and St James’ Gardens on a theatrical 90-minute tour.

“A fabulous nights entertainment. The acting was spot-on. The two characters made sure we could all hear and they were constantly checking to make sure we were all there and okay and safe. They engaged with the crowd remembering where certain people had come from and there was constant banter with individuals in the party as well as passers by. I am from Liverpool and found out a lot of history about which I had no idea as well as listening to the ghoulish stories. I would thoroughly recommend and have done to my friends.”
