About Ruth

A born and bred Scouser from Penny Lane

4.9 from 229 reviews

Hi, I'm Ruth, and I'd love to welcome you to my home town, Liverpool.

The very name conjures up a glorious maritime history, world beating musical heritage, two of the Premiership's biggest football teams and not one but two majestically different cathedrals.

Today the city is bulging with fabulous shops, buzzing restaurants, hip hotels and trendy wine bars, plus more museums and galleries than anywhere outside London. And its people? Famously friendly.

I grew up on Penny Lane, and from a young age I loved meeting the visitors who came from all over the world to pay homage to the Beatles.

I share my passion for Liverpool in a relaxed, informative and entertaining way, because humour is in our blood. I'll show you all the main sights, and a few off the beaten track ones too.

With me as your guide, you'll never walk alone.
