Liverpool American History Walking Tour
Explore Liverpool’s Historic Links with America

Join ArtsGroupie at the Liverpool Pier Head, starting outside the Cunard Building (the River Mersey side), as we explore Liverpool’s historic and deep-rooted links to America.

From the city’s darkest history, like its abominable role in the transatlantic slave trade, to its illustrious music & culture exports; Liverpool’s connections to the United States run deep.

Uncover Liverpool’s links to a famous assassination, and why Liverpool has so many links to former Presidents of the United States.

Learn hidden histories, and discover what made Liverpool a city to rival London and New York; this and more on Liverpool’s American History Walking Tour.

ArtsGroupie’s walking tours include The Liver Bird Safari, a tour that highlights the over 100 Liver Birds hidden across the city; The Kitty Wilkinson Walking Tour, which takes us back to Victorian Liverpool to celebrate the life of Iconic Liverpool legend, Kitty Wilkinson, who overcame all adversity to become a pioneer of the public washhouse; and William Roscoe Esquire Walking Tour, celebrating the life of a renowned 19th Century Liverpool author, and one of England’s first abolitionists.

If you experience any issues with booking please don’t hesitate to contact ArtsGroupie.
