On this fascinating walking tour of Liverpool, you will discover an extraordinary city that not only produced the Fab Four but also pioneered the arts, culture, architecture, and industrial innovation.

Today, this fine collection of Grade I listed buildings forms the heart of Liverpool's UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, together with the Pier Head, St George's Quarter, and more. Backdropped by the waterfront, it is also the site of Liverpool's most popular selfie spot, an iconic life-size statue of John, Paul, Ringo, and George.

After Wellington Column, a statue erected in the Duke of Wellington's honour and formed from melted-down cannons from the Battle of Waterloo, you will be wowed by the dazzling neoclassical design of St George's Hall before your final stop at The Bluecoat, Liverpool's hub of creative talent. Your tour ends with a drink at a local pub, where you can ask your guide for the best local recommendations for the rest of your time in the city.
