A Reel Treat for Film Lovers and Curious Locals! - We recently joined the Liverpool Film Location Walking Tour with Reel Tours, and what a fantastic experience it was! Gary, our guide and curator of the tour, was absolutely superb — his knowledge of the film industry and Liverpool’s starring role in it was second to none. We were fascinated to learn how Liverpool frequently doubles for cities like New York, Chicago, London, Manchester, and even Moscow, thanks to its stunning and versatile architecture. Gary shared so many behind-the-scenes stories and insider facts about the filming process, the productions that have been shot here, and the surprising ways the city is transformed on screen. The tour lasted just under three hours, but the time flew by thanks to Gary’s engaging storytelling and the glorious weather that made it even more enjoyable. It was such a fabulous way to spend a Sunday afternoon, seeing the city from a completely new perspective. Whether you're a film buff, a Liverpool local, or just curious about the city’s hidden cinematic history, I cannot recommend this tour enough. You’ll walk away entertained, informed, and looking at Liverpool with fresh eyes. Book on — you won’t be disappointed!

Walking film tour of Liverpool - I have been meaning to go on this Reel Tours experience for some time, finally I did it today and it didnt disappoint! I have to admit, I felt excited to be part of this unique tour, walking through Liverpool in the sunshine enhanced my experience. Gary, in his yellow shirt, really set the scene, we immediately found him personable & friendly, and as soon as his tour started we were instantly hooked, his stories, facts and pictures really captured film life in the city. I found it interesting, funny, engaging and if Gary doesnt know it, then its not worth knowing! Gary answered all of our questions and more! Highly recommended and well worth it.

Fun tour for everyone - We both found Garys tour entertaining and informative. There is always something new and interesting to see in a building or a street you walk past all the time when seeing it from a new perspective. You look at it as how it can and indeed has been used to represent something completely different. The tour also makes you see some of the tricks of the trade used in the TV and film industry.

Very knowledgable, funny and lot's of great anecdotes. over 400 things were filmed in Liverpool last year alone so he is not able to cover everything! But he is happy to cover any diversions you may present him with also. Highly recommended, and I live here.
