Shiverpool's Auld City & The Dead House Tour
Guests journey through the original seven streets of Liverpool's bustling commercial district, taking in hidden avenues, lofty banking halls, and historic architecture. The theatrical walking experience shares chilling ghost stories, grim accounts of plague and cholera, and tales of Civil War espionage. The tour concludes by entering through a trapdoor into the Dead House, an underground former city morgue nestled beneath a Gothic church spire.
