Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide at your service. With your private vehicle and the personalized attention of your driver and English-speaking guide, you will visit Liverpool in comfort and privacy.
The city of Liverpool stretches along the bank of the River Mersey -- the downtown core climbing away from the waterfront, anchored by the city's two great cathedrals. In 1840, Samuel Cunard established the first shipping line carrying passengers to North America and based it here in Liverpool. Today, you will discover that Liverpool is a lively, cosmopolitan city with an eye-catching architectural heritage. Notice the Royal Liver Building, whose towers are topped by statues of the mythical liver birds from which the city took its name.
As you pass through the oldest part of the city, you'll see the Town Hall adorned by a Corinthian portico.
Stop for photos at the notable buildings of the Walker Art Gallery and St George's Hall before stepping inside the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. Its giant wigwam-style design is splendidly photogenic, and it is topped by a spiked lantern tower containing 25,000 pieces of stained glass. Liverpool is one of the greenest cities in Britain -- you will see this for yourself on a visit to the suburbs and parkland areas.
Watch for Penny Lane and snap a photo of the famous road sign.
Returning to the city center, you'll drive along the reclaimed river frontage to the converted dockland areas of Albert Dock. In 1846, Albert Dock was England's gateway to the New World; today, it constitutes the largest group of Grade I historic buildings in Great Britain.
Capacity: 2 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
Notes:
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King is closed on Sundays for religious services; the Anglican Cathedral will be substituted. Private cars are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to order the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for the vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide, and applicable entrance fees for up to two guests. Private vehicle reservations are non-refundable if canceled within three days prior to the start of your cruise. Private vehicle bookings made on board are non-refundable once confirmed.
