Fantastic Tour filled with facts
We went on the Insprirational Womens Tour with our guide Jean and it was fantastic. We met at the Anglican Cathedral and got to know the guide very quickly. Her passion for the subject really shone through, which made the trip all the more interesting. The tour flew by! We went to places I didn't realise were so important to the city and it's heritage. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning a side of Liverpool which is so often unfortunately overlooked!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Inspirational Women’s Tour with Jean and that her passion for the subject helped make the experience so memorable. It is a tour our guides love sharing with people, as there are so many hidden stories of amazing women to discover, and it is lovely to know you enjoyed learning about this often-overlooked side of Liverpool’s heritage. Jean will be very pleased to receive your kind words and recommendation. With best wishes everyone at Purple Tours

Inspiring Women of Liverpool
We joined the Inspiring Women tour today with Liverpool Famous Walking Tours and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide, Jean, was absolutely superb. Her depth of knowledge was remarkable, but what really stood out was the way she brought the stories of these women to life. It was clear just how much research, preparation and passion had gone into the tour. We discovered the stories of so many fascinating women who have helped shape Liverpool and, in many cases, influenced change far beyond the city. Some of the names were familiar, while others were completely new to us, which made the tour even more interesting. Jean didn’t simply give us facts and dates. She gave us the stories behind the women, the challenges they faced, what they achieved and why their contribution still matters today. Her enthusiasm was infectious and there was so much information packed into the tour without it ever feeling like a history lesson. A genuinely fascinating, thought provoking and enjoyable way to discover another side of Liverpool. Huge credit to Jean for the work and knowledge that has clearly gone into creating and delivering such an excellent tour. We came away having learned so much.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the Inspiring Women tour and that Jean brought these remarkable stories to life so beautifully. It is a tour our guides love sharing with people, as there are so many hidden stories of amazing women to discover. It is lovely to know that her knowledge, research, and passion helped you discover another fascinating side of Liverpool and learn so much along the way. Jean will be very pleased to receive your kind words and appreciation. With best wishes everyone at Purple Tours

Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Liverpool.
How much does Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly cost?
+
Prices start at $33 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Liverpool usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Liverpool is not rushed.
Is Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Liverpool, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Liverpool can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Liverpool and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Inspirational Women Liverpool Past-Present History Tour - monthly start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Liverpool within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Liverpool?
+
On Outty we rank every Liverpool experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Liverpool: "Blue Route" - City & Beatles Tour, Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour, Downtown Liverpool Walking Tour - In Spanish. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Liverpool?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Liverpool?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
