We also have a tour around the Anfield neighbourhood that takes in the amazing wall art of the famous faces and characters of Liverpool FC and of course, you could truly go international on the soccer theme, by also visiting Wrexham AFC in Wales!
Why not choose to combine the Beatles, with Football and Pubs! Its a great combination for a relaxing touring day in Liverpool and we do feature some unique pubs, each one with a character of its own!

So our football tours are extremely flexible and the whole day can be tailored around what you want to do and see and is led by a passionate football tour guide!
Another great tour option for the day is to leave Liverpool behind and visit the nearby historic city of Chester, with its famous city walls and Tudor black and white buildings. We have an amazing quintessential country inn that we visit for lunch and then there is achoice to visit one of the historic hidden gems of Cheshire or visit the unique Port Sunlight village.
