What to expect
Expect a straightforward walking tour at an unhurried pace through Liverpool's working docks and waterfront quarters. Your guide narrates the city's economic rise through maritime enterprise, pointing out original warehouses, customs houses and public buildings that shaped the skyline. The route takes in recognisable landmarks and atmospheric passages between structures. Halfway through or at the end, you'll settle into a characterful listed building—possibly one of several historic venues on the route—for afternoon tea service: warm scones with jam and clotted cream, pastries, sandwiches and a choice of tea or coffee. Allow time to sit and absorb the surroundings.
