If you’re looking for an engaging way to delve into Liverpool's rich history, archaeology tours offer a fascinating perspective on the city’s past. We offer three distinct options currently available, and all have received outstanding reviews – an average of 5.0 out of 5. These tours generally last between 120 and 180 minutes, providing a substantial amount of time to explore significant sites.
Considering the price range, which sits between £57 and £170, you can expect to pay approximately £57 for the most popular option – the “Liverpool Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide” – which has received just one review at 5.0/5. The other tours fall within the £120 - £170 range. It’s worth comparing the duration of each tour to see if you prefer a more concentrated experience or one that allows for greater exploration.
When choosing an archaeology tour, consider whether you'd like a private, tailored experience – which is reflected in the price – or a shared group tour. The longer tours (180 minutes) will naturally be slightly more expensive than the shorter ones (120 minutes). All three options are consistently highly rated, suggesting a quality experience across the board.
We understand that this is your first time undertaking an archaeology tour, so it's perfectly normal to have questions. Think about what aspects of Liverpool’s history you’re most interested in – Roman remains, medieval settlements, or perhaps industrial heritage – and look for tours that specifically focus on those areas. Ultimately, we are confident these tours will offer a memorable introduction to the archaeological treasures of Liverpool.
