“We were so looking forward to this tour, going on all previous reviews, now maybe we got a bad tour guide I don't know, but we did not find this tour in any way informative. It felt rushed and we heard more about the long day the tour guide had done than we did about Liverpool. I would not recommend, it was a waste of money, if we had of jumped on a normal bus for £2 we would of seen as much!!”
