If you’re a local or just visiting Liverpool, this tour will reveal many of the hidden depths of Liverpool’s history.
From King John granting Liverpool a charter in 1207, the town largely remained the same until the late 17th Century when Liverpool began to develop as a port. The construction of the “Old Dock” was a major turning point that saw a massive increase in trade and the wealth of the city that continued until just after the Second World War.
It is the period from the construction of the “Old Dock” up to the mid 20th Century that this tour covers and gives an insight into the key events, the people and buildings connected to them and the legacy these have left for Liverpool.
We will strip away the veil of modernity and reveal the past - hidden in plain sight, and show you Liverpool’s aspirations for the future.
Minimum of 2 people required for the tour to run.

Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic
INTRODUCTION The Welcome to Liverpool Tour is a must if you only have a limited time in the city. If you are staying longer it is also a good starting point to obtain an overview of Liverpool’s history –the high points and the low points. Be careful though, this tour only begins to open the door on the story of Liverpool – you will be left curious and wanting to find out more about the many topics covered by your guide. The tour is an ideal opportunity to see some of Liverpool’s finest buildings and some of the waterfront architecture that Liverpool is famous for. You will also see some of the banking houses built by the wealthy merchants of Liverpool who became rich on the back of the slave trade or the goods produced by slaves in America.
Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic
When the Titanic sank, had her lights and wireless telegraph failed, panic would have been rife and it would have been impossible to summon assistance, or lower her lifeboats safely. In the event power was maintained for the wireless set until ten minutes before she sank, with the lights failing just two minutes before she sank. None of the engineers survived the sinking and this is a memorial to them.

5.00Super walking tour adapted to our requests. Edward setup this tour just for the two of us and prepared and adapted routes as we went, listening to what we wanted to learn more about. We had been to both Cathedrals in the morning and had enough background information on the Beatles, so Edward focussed on history of the city and architecture, stopping at some interesting spots to point out things which we would surely have missed without his guidance. He had excellent knowledge and a wealth of stories, as well as some interesting old pictures and artifacts in his bag. His comments on Liverpool today, property development and assessment and portrayal of the city's past role in slavery and international trade were both progressive and interesting. Many thanks to Edward. Heartily recommended.
