This was a very informative and interesting tour conducted by Pat, one of the volunteer guides. The enthusiasm shown for the tunnels is fantastic and if you have not heard of them but get the opportunity to visit, please do so. They receive no government or lottery funding and are relying on donations to keep excavating and uncovering more of the labyrinth of underground tunnels dating back to the early 1800’s. You get an insight into the philanthropic life of Joseph Williamson and what an entrepreneur he was way back then. The tour lasts around 45 minutes but they hope this will get bigger and better, the more they uncover. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Upon arrival we were greeted enthusiastically and directed towards the waiting area where we could have a hot drink and a biscuit before being taken in to the tunnels. Our guide Richard was extremely personable and knowledgeable. His passion for the tunnels and the work that the volunteers are doing there really shone through. We never felt rushed and were able to ask lots of questions. A truly unique experience and one we really enjoyed. If you’re a fan of engineering, social history or just a bit curious I would really recommend.

We cannot thank the tour guide Bobby for making our day! We wondered to the tunnels not expecting much and oh boy we were wrong! The tunnels were ok… but Bobbys commentary made them really really interesting. We laughed so much and are now desperately googling more information about Williamson and his tunnels. And to think we almost skipped it! Would recommend 100/10

I went on Sunday 2nd of June and it was brilliant to learn about the history of the tunnels and why and how they were made. And it overall was a very enjoyable, educational day out and would definitely recommend going on a tour as all the staff are volunteers and work very hard to restore and uncover the history of the williamson tunnels. A brilliant experience.

The tunnels are outside the main city, about a 30 minute walk. Weihai booked online but waited about 10 mins for lady to come and take payment. Very basic cafe and toilets full of cobwebs. Tour was fabulous and my 12 year old son rated it as one of best experiences in liverpool during 3 day stay. Tour guide super. Would like to return in few years to see progress. Great value for money.

Fabulous insight into the underground tunnels built by the Williamson family under the streets of Liverpool Book in advance on small tours by dedicated guides who are knowledgeable and offer interesting insights of time past Extremely interesting and worth doing for a small entrance fee Cafe and toilets and parking on site
