FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

On private tours, every tour is run exclusively for you, your friends or family. No other guests/strangers will be included on your individual tour. You will only be accompanied by your guide and/or driver.

On public tours (regular departure tours) you will be accompanied by a small group of fellow guests whom you will be able to mingle with and meet. The maximum  number of guests on our tours is between 8 and 20 guests dependent on tour.

Generally, you can add as many people as you like to your tour, however, some tours will have restrictions. For example, for safety reasons, we only allow a restrictive number of guests on walking or cycling tours.

Sure! We love solo travelers! Be aware though that most costs are per tour, not per person.

All day tours include the services of an expert & engaging tour guide. Tours that cover longer distances will include transportation (this can be private vehicles or public transport). Some tours will include food & entrance fees. You can find out all inclusions on each tour page before you book.

This depends on the group size and the type of tour offered. On our city-orientated taxi tours, we use traditional “Black Cabs” with 5-6 seats available for guests (these are accessible, however, on booking, please contact us to ensure we can arrange everything you need for you in advance). On our longer day trips out of Liverpool (e.g. to North Wales or Lake District), we generally use Mercedes E-Class saloons or similar and, for our larger groups or 4-6 guests, we use Mercedes V-Class, Ford Tourneo Custom or similar. Sometimes we may also use a 16-seat vehicle. On any of our ‘eco-friendly tours’ we use public transport or electric vehicles exclusively.

Very Easy: Paths with an even surface.

Easy: Similar to “Very Easy” but can involve more walking in general during the tour.

Many tours depart from a easy central location such as the Adelphi Hotel near Lime Street Station but, often, we offer bespoke pick-up locations such as your hotel or cruise terminal. Speak to us before you arrive and we can usually accommodate easily & happily.

Absolutely! No question – and if the ship did leave without you and it was our fault, we will provide transport to your next port of call. We can assure you though that this has never been required!

The short answer is, yes. However, please speak with us prior booking to ensure we can make all the necessary arrangements for you. We can arrange accessible vehicles for you and we can alter most walking tours to suit wheelchair users or guests with limited mobility.
