Starting at the striking Metropolitan Cathedral, your expert local guide will lead you along Hope Street—one of the most architecturally impressive streets in the UK—towards the magnificent Anglican Cathedral, with a guided visit inside both.

Along the way, uncover a fascinating mix of stories that bring this area to life. From ghostly tales in the haunting St James’ Gardens to famous film locations and surprising Beatles connections, this tour reveals a different side of Liverpool beyond the waterfront.

With stunning views, hidden history and rich storytelling throughout, this is the perfect experience for visitors looking to explore Liverpool’s culture, character and atmosphere in a relaxed and memorable way.
