Nice touch from a stranger outside Liverpool Anglican Cathedral today. I was the last coach tour out from the Carnival Legend this afternoon, taking guests on a panoramic tour of the City. As you may have noticed there was lots of liquid sunshine about today, with squally showers making it difficult for guests to enjoy their surroundings off the coach.
Anyway, getting towards the end of the tour I decided despite the weather it was worth a try to leave the coach and view the Anglican Cathedral from the outside (there being graduations on in there) and show them John Foster Jnr’s Oratory. Needless to say, as soon as we alighted and got one of the guests into his wheelchair, the heavens opened appropriately in a biblical downpour. While most of the guest beat a hastily retreat back to the coach the gentleman in the wheelchair needed the bathroom. So as we sailed towards the Cathedral, the wheelchair user getting soaked a local, suited and booted and obviously going to support a Liverpool John Moores University graduand stepped- forward and gave the wheelchair user his umbrella saying “Keep it, I’ve a spare one in my car, so take it”. Really touchy, kind and made me very proud of our City. A Good-Samaritan? Thank you whoever you were.👍

Professor Goldman St Peter's College Oxford ( ) and students from the University of Missouri Mizzou visited Liverpool today as part of their studies on Liverpool's role in the Trans-Atlantic trade and commerce including the Slave trade. They enjoyed our City and also brought the sunshine with them. Got to say they were a credit to both institutions. 👍

Beautiful day and beautiful ship in the City . Today was a ‘In the footsteps of the Beatles’ tour ironically by coach! Leon the coach driver was new to Liverpool, so it was a case of navigating and commentating as we meandered our way to Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and the various Beatles’ homes, Mendips, Forthlin Road and Madryn Street before the Beatles Story and Mathew Street. It turned out to be a real Magical Mystery tour; who knew that Woolton had so many small back lanes? Definitely a whole new ball-game taking a 50 seater coach, serpent like around them, but we got there - I told everyone we were taking the scenic route, while Leon the driver uttered and muttered prayers beneath his breath. However, it all worked out in the end and we got some lovely feedback from a fantastic tour group. 😀

Like Katrina & the Waves we were Walking on Sunshine today. Met up with (soon to be married) Rahul & friends from London who are enjoying a Stag weekend here. Really nice group of lads and obviously well dressed 😉 Visited Jürgen's Bierhaus & The Bridewell and were made very welcome in both.

I was out touring Liverpool with multinational Group 22 from the beautiful ’s 'Jewel of the Seas', which was visiting Liverpool today. We covered many topics on our tour: Liverpool history, religion, architecture and culture, the Beatles and both the French and Portuguese Camino’s as some of the Group hoped to walk one.
So lots to see and chat about on the way around, which is always fun. At the end I got a nice parting compliment from some of the company saying that I was the best guide so far that they’d had on the cruise - so I was very proud of the ambassadorial role I’d played for our Great City today. 👍In response I thanked them and told them they were the best group I’d had today 😂 - it's always nice to finish a tour with a laugh!

Another day and weirdly another Group 17 to tour with - it must be age related😂.! However, today was a coach tour from the MS Rotterdam which was visiting Liverpool. We done the ‘Liverpool Highlights’ tour which included a visit to Penny Lane, Ringo’s home streets and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. There was lots of singing of Beatles songs, but must admit not that many hymns! 😁 We did however, finish on ‘In my Liverpool home’ which to my surprise (considering the different nationalities on the tour) everyone seemed to know the words to. Tour went extremely well. Why not see what people travel halfway around the world to see and book a tour at http://www.walkietalkietours.co.uk/booking and I promise not to sing 🤣

Celebrity Silhouette was in town today - well the cruise terminal 😉 and had the pleasure of taking tour 17 around the City. It was quite actioned packed with the new Guy Richie movie been shot around the Town Hall / Exchange flags & Castle Street we didn't spot Natalie Portman or John Krasinki but I learned a lot about who they were! Very well informed were group 17. 👍 Finished off with a tour of the The Beatles Story before a stroll in the sunshine back to the ship. 😀

Bringing the good weather with them today were members of the who are holding their annual UK conference here in Liverpool. Today I had the pleasure of taking some of the members based at and around and showcasing the City👏👏
Many many thanks to Philip for organising the tour and I hinted that when I reach 41 I may join them 👍🤣🤣

21/11/2023

Although winter and mid-November another glorious day to walk with Paul, Ann, Margaret and Denise from Shropshire and guests . Michael requested 'can they go to some unusual places'? (no pressure there, then 😅)! So we visited a Chinese arch, two Cathedrals, gents toilets and feeling flush (groan) a rather large pyramid shaped tombstone along with sitting where the Beatles sat, the waterfront and a place where Charles Dickens became a policeman for one night The Bridewell. Phew!
Who said we can't offer the unusual if required 👍😂

Why not join us and look at the City from a different perspective? 🥳

You may have read that the Peace Boat was visiting Liverpool yesterday and today as part of its ‘Around-the-World’ 105 day long cruise (yes a 3 months cruise)!!! Talk about the elephant in the room, I’d be like a whole herd of them after spending 3 months onboard! 😃.
Had the privilege of taking a coach full of passengers from the ship around, showing them the City highlights including the Cathedrals, City centre, Albert Dock and Beatles’ related locations out in the suburbs, all of which they seem to have enjoyed.
The ship’s Excursions Crew were extremely efficient and gave me my very first aerial flag things to wave about to keep the passenger group together - things got even better when I found I could get Test Match Special on it too! 🤣
The Excursions Crew also mentioned that there had been some issues with guests (who were mainly Japanese) and didn’t understand the local languages and particularly what time to be back on the coach! See if you can guess the time we were leaving the Metropolitan Cathedral? Sometimes the simple ways are the best! 👍

With the staff and students from Kurpfalz Internat School, Germany today, who are visiting Liverpool for a few days. We braved storm Agnes as we visited the waterfront and city centre and although the students were well behaved and a credit to their school I did try and get a few of them locked-up in the cells of the always accommodating The Bridewell 😅. I explained to the students that in the old-days it was tough being in the cells as they only had black & white TVs in there and not colour 😂.

16/09/2023

Hi, I'm pleased to let you all know that following a written examination and interview, I've been offered a place on the upcoming 18 months Blue Badge Guide course. 👍

Ah! well at least it will keep me off the streets 😂

14/09/2023

Bigger than Cunard’s latest ship the Queen Anne, the Disney Dream berthed today for a short turn-around visit to the City. I took one of the twenty-four official coach tours leaving the cruise terminal - it was manic!
It’s the first time I’ve taken a group including younger (pram size) children and you may have heard me mention in the past about some adult groups being like herding cats but herding kittens is a whole new ball game - hats off to teachers and other children related professions!
The tour was the Liverpool City Panoramic tour so it was around the City centre and a visit to the four Cathedrals of Liverpool, two secular and two spiritual. 😀
After a tour of the City we managed to stop and get a parking spot outside Anfield. However, despite holding the traffic up we couldn’t stop at Goodison, which was England’s first purpose built football stadium and the first ground in the UK to have Royalty visit! Then it was off to the dizzy heights of Everton, strangely a place where Everton FC have never played!
Scooted along the ridge with visits to St George’s and the Everton Lock-up before visiting the two spiritual Cathedrals and the Chinese Arch and then back to the ship via the Royal Albert Dock. Along the way I explained about Mickey’s long lost cousin Mickey Scouse 🙂 but not sure that they bought it! 🤣

Had the pleasure of taking Group 21 from the Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Cruises beautiful ship Apex on a tour of the City on Thursday last. We decided after a quick vote that our group was the best looking of all the 38 groups on tour that day.😁 We also agreed that Liverpool was wonderful city and well worth a visit. Experienced the Waterfront, Mathew Street and the City centre before a timely visit to The Bridewell to re-hydrate 🤣

With first time visitors Lorraine & Doug from Australia & guests at Novotel Liverpool Centre . They are friends with previous visitors Mick & gang who I took around prior to the Open & friends with our mates Sammi & Ged 😀. As the photos show we had a nice sunny afternoon stroll seeing the sites finishing at the always welcoming The Bridewell for some liquid refreshments. Well you wouldn't want us to dehydrate woukd you? 😉

Reunited with Maureen, John & Catherine and Alfie with Ann. Unfortunately wasn't reunited with my stick from four years ago 😞. Went to the maze where I left it but despite covid etc etc they'd trimmed the hedges and it was gone - hopefully its travelling the world #freethestick so deposited my latest stick there We went the pilgim mass in the Cathedral at the end of the mass they sent the Botafumeiro swinging. Originally used to hide the smell of pilgrims (very understandable 😀) it really does soar and you certainly wouldn't want to get in it's way. Thanks again for your support- more later 👍

Apparently even though its Portugal its in the plain of Spain xx

Yesterday procession - 😨
