Testimonials

We pride ourselves on giving you a fantastic experience that you won’t forget in a hurry. See what our customers have to say about their time with us!

We have done hop-on, hop-off tours in many cities, and this is right up there with the very best. We gained a lot of knowledge and many insights from our guide Steve, who brought a warm, friendly personality and a great sense of humour to his commentary.

- David

Excellent way to get about Liverpool, seeing main attractions with minimum effort. Tour bus guide (Vivienne) had excellent knowledge of the city and made commentary really interesting with facts / figures; delivered with enthusiasm and local humour.

- Jeremy

We really enjoyed our tour of Liverpool with Chris as our guide. He was both funny and knowledgeable, which made the whole ride more fun. We got to see a lot of really cool places and learn a lot about the city that we wouldn't have known otherwise.

Keeping the company family-run, son and daughters (Joe, Ann and Stephanie) have gained their Operator’s CPC qualification and taken on roles to build on the strength of Maghull Coaches and keep that personal ‘tender loving care’ touch to the service provided.
