    Hope Street Tour - Family Group of 10

    We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with Chilla Black and her sister Meryl on the Hope Street Tour. What a fantastic double act and our group of 10 ( children, teenagers, adults with an age range of 7-76 ) all raved about it. Informative, interactive, thrilling and entertaining - would totally recommend.

    An absolute must of a spooky walking tour.

    An absolute must of a spooky walking tour, packed with information and delivered with enthusiasm, full of fun and entertainment. This tour "Hope Street Shivers" was our third tour over the years, and it was just as brilliant as the other two we had previously been on. Chiller Black is excellent, so quick and funny, dealing with any passers by that are foolish enough to have something to say. 10/10

    Ghostly Liverpool Success

    What a wonderful evening was had by Wallasey Explorer Scouts on their Shiverpool Ghost Tour. The guides were very informative and entertaining. They held the attention of the young people and explained some of the gory past of Liverpool. We were lucky to have a little bonus in St. James’ Gardens and the public joined in with a bit of a scare. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    October Ghostwalk

    I went on one of these ghostwalks a while back with my work and enjoyed it, not sure why I've only got around to doing it again now but decided to take the kids this time. The weather being calm and crisp helped, but the guides Chilla Black & Meryl Creep were excellent and knowledgeable. Giving us a few history lessons as well as the ghost stories. Would definitely go again.

    Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Liverpool.

    How much does Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $27 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 Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 941 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 329 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour 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, Downtown Liverpool Walking Tour - In Spanish, Best Of Liverpool Heritage, History & Culture Guided Walking Tour. 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.

    What is included in Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guides. Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour?

    +
