Enjoyable tour of the Queensway Tunnel and its workings, and what happens behind the scenes to keep this historic tunnel running 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Being a local who uses the tunnel frequently, it's a great eye opener. Great value and takes about 2 hours to complete the tour. Quite a few stairs to climb both up and down so be prepared if you struggle with them. Nice small history room at the beginning/end too.
A fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of the history and engineering of the original Mersey Tunnel. Our guides Alison and Ryan were excellent hosts informing and entertaining us for almost two hours as they led us through the labyrinth of tunnels, stairs and spooky places. This is not a tour for anyone with accessibility issues or a fear of tunnels! but it's well worth a visit if you don't mind climbing multiple stairs. We went on a very warm day so the coolness of the interior was very welcome, but apparently it can get quite cold, so wear something warm. Access to the tour is round the back of the tall art deco edifice called St. George's Dockway, opposite where James Street meets The Strand.
Had a fantastic tour for my son's 11th birthday party. Friends and family aged between 11 and 72. Alison and Ryan our guides were brilliant, kept the interest of all ages without making it too childish. Got to see the massive fans working and full "backstage" tour. The kids loved waving to the cars in the tunnel and getting them to honk and going underneath the roadway. There's lots of stairs but the kids loved that. There are some lifts in certain sections but we didn't use them.
My 17 year old son and myself went on the 2 hour tunnel tour today 14/02/23. I definitely recommend this tour, it was fantastic. The 2 tour guides Billy and Phil were absolutely amazing and so much fun, they are like a comedy duo. They enjoyed getting the younger visitors involved making it so much fun for them. I am not sure about people doing this if they have mobility issues, although there are 2 lifts, there is still stairs that are unavoidable. I don't think I will drive through the Queensway Tunnel the same again after learning the history and seeing behind the scenes.
Excellent tour, highly recommended. Ryan and John were hilarious and very well informed. Fascinating insight into the tunnel construction, history and operation. Great to be able to get to places not accessible to the public. It's very popular so book in advance.
I went for a tour tonight and I was very impressed. This tour was a great experience, I learnt a lot about the history of the tunnel and how it works. Billy and Ryan are funny and fantastic guides. Thank you.
The tours for individuals are only available on some days you should check the details before going and we happened to go there at exactly the same time by chance on a Thurday at 5 so we could enjoy this fun trip. I felt like being a part of engineering documentary with a narrator duo who have great sense of humour. I guess they were called Ryan and Billy. Thanks again. Definitely recommended!
The tour was fantastic, we have recommended to many friends and family, great value and very interesting. The guides really made it, they where both very engaging with everybody on the tour.
Such a good tour we'll worth the money. Alison and John are great tour guides and full of knowledge. Get down there and have a great timeVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Really friendly tour guides, they really made the tour worthwhile with their enthusiasm and professional approach. The tour was around 2 hours long, and highly informative and entertaining. Disability access can be limited due to the age of the buildings, apart from that, I highly recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in our industrial and engineering history.
