We are a group of guides who are passionate about the history of our adopted cities, Liverpool and Edinburgh. Our aim is to make visitors feel welcome, giving them a tour full of humour and knowledge. We have prepared Liverpool history tours related to The Beatles, the evolution and secrets of the city and its emblematic streets, economic crises, Football and more. In Edinburgh we offer tours of the Old Town and New Town, tours of Calton Hill and the Castle, talking about Harry Potter, ghosts, and curiosities. What are you waiting for to tour these fantastic cities with us?
The tour was informative and we saw a good amount of the city which was nice. However, I do feel like there are a couple of flaws with this tour. Firstly, it was too Beatles-focused and oriented for my liking, which felt a little overkill, and not enough about the city itself and its history. I also think there was a bit of information overload, and sometimes the guide was not loud enough for everyone to hear, especially in areas with loud background noise (in tourist hotspots or - more prominently - next to motorways). My suggestion for the guide is to either try to avoid talking extensively next to motorways, or maybe alter the route altogether to avoid standing or walking through motorways as it's unpleasant anyway, or just speak much louder for a shorter amount of time when doing so. My parents are not native English speakers so it was a bit hard for them to remain engaged through everything that was said.
Ian was an excellent guide. As a lifelong Liverpudlian, he has a whole host of stories and a great deal of knowledge. The time flew by, thanks to the interesting stories and funny anecdotes (not to mention a song or two). I'd highly recommend a tour with Ian!
Excelente tour, muy entretenido y la guía Kath dio muchísima información interesante y útil sobre Edimburgo y su historia. Lo recomiendo mucho a quienes visiten la ciudad
