Overview

This self guided audio tour will take you on a winding path through Liverpool city centre where you will discover much of its fascinating history and culture.

Described as one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world, you’ll start at Liverpool’s magnificent St George’s Hall. From there you enter the city centre to follow the trail of the ancient pool. Here you will learn of the controversial reasons behind the transformation of Liverpool from a tiny fishing village into one of the world’s greatest seaports.

You’ll get answers to some fascinating questions along the way too, including:

• Why are more than 100 Frenchmen buried in the city centre’s most beautiful gardens?
• Why is Liverpool called Liverpool?
• Why is the Cavern Club not the Cavern Club? (You did read that right)
• What happened to Liverpool Castle?

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
