Tour description

Welcome to Liverpool , a city that history has forged its unique identity. This historical tour invites you to immerse yourself in the layers of time that have left their mark on each street.

From the days of maritime trade that catapulted Liverpool to prominence, to the pivotal moments of the Second World War , we will explore together the narratives that have shaped this city over the centuries.

Our historical tour begins at Derby Square . This iconic location immediately immerses us in the rich history of Liverpool, with its impressive architecture and historical connections.

We'll stroll through Chavasse Park , an urban oasis that offers a well-deserved respite from the city center. Walking through Liverpool ONE , we will reach The Blue Coat , an architectural gem that has played various roles over the years, from school to contemporary art center.


We will leave the center to enter the Ropewalks, walking through Bold Street , we will find a road that breathes life and culture, with independent shops, cafes and restaurants that make this street the cultural and gastronomic epicenter of the city.

As we walk around the Bombed Out Church , we will explore the aftermath of the war and how the community came together to rebuild and revitalize these spaces, turning them into symbols of resilience and hope.

We will talk about Chinatown , a corner where Chinese culture merges with the rich history of the city. We will discover the influence of the Chinese community and how it has contributed to the diversity and cultural vitality of Liverpool.


Upon reaching Hope Street, we immerse ourselves in an environment where culture and wisdom converge. Home to prestigious educational institutions and theatres, this street is a testament to Liverpool's commitment to knowledge and artistic and religious expression.


Our journey ends in front of the Anglican Cathedral, an imposing symbol that dominates the skyline. This architectural masterpiece, built over decades, is a tangible representation of the spiritual greatness and dedication of the Liverpool community.


Let's prepare for a journey through time, where the streets of Liverpool will become the scene of a captivating historical odyssey.
