Description
Stroll through the University of Liverpool Campus in real-time with your local Liverpool Blue Badge tour guide. The tour will be interactive, and depending on the subjects you plan to study, we can look at the buildings for the various departments in this walking tour. The University was established in 1881 and is one of the six original "Red Brick Universities". It is highly sought after, with three faculties, 35 departments, and 230 first-degree courses. In 2006, this was the first UK university to establish an independent university in China. Ten Nobel Peace Prizes have been awarded to the students of the University.
We will show you around and tell you more about all the facilities on campus for students, how you can get around on foot and bike, the local shops, the student guild, coffee shops, pubs and other social activities. Primarily focused on the Georgian Quarter of the vibrant city of Liverpool, this tour will give you a sense of how safe it is to study here, and as your guides, we will bring to life what it's like to live here.
University of Liverpool Students study in the city centre and live out for the first year in the newly built Student Halls of Residence close to Penny Lane. Whilst we cannot include a virtual tour of the Halls on this tour, we can help by answering any questions you may have about it.
We look forward to meeting you on this tour of the University of Liverpool.

Meet your Host
Neil & Claire
Neil McDonald and Claire Rider are both Liverpool Blue Badge Tourist Guides who have been running the original Liverpool Beatles Walk every day for the last 7 years. Neil was the Head of Customer Service for a telecommunications company and Claire was a Marketing Manager. However, they both discovered their real vocation and each other when they trained together for two years as tour guides in 2013. Neil & Claire both know the owners of the Cavern Club really well, they speak regularly to Roag Best and take guests to his family home 'The Casbah'. Many other Beatles legends are still around on Penny Lane and they know the original Quarry-men, Beatles authors, and even John Lennon's half-sister. Everyone in Liverpool works extremely hard to keep the story real. They are both licensed driver/guides with a beautiful V-Class Mercedes and are usually busy showing guests all around the UK on luxury multi-day tours. They love their jobs and will really help you put all the Beatles locations into context. Claire is often singing and extremely theatrical, and Neil knows an absolute wealth of interesting facts. Neil was once guiding visitors around the corner on a Beatles Tour and there was Paul McCartney who even agreed to have his photo taken with the clients!
