2 hour walking tour behind the scenes of the beautiful Art Deco Georges Dock Building and the Queensway Mersey Tunnel. Tour takes in the original Control Room, the giant fan chambers, underneath the city streets and into the old dock and finally down to the road tunnel deep below the city. Tours held Tuesday 5pm, Thursday 5pm and Saturday 10am. Groups at other times by appointment.
A great tour, delivered with typical local humour that means it's fab for young, old and those with an engineering interest or not. Ryan and Bill were our tour guides today, and their delivery was superb, keeping everyone interested and informed. The tunnel, built in the 1939s was an "engineering marvel" at the time, and the architectural features inside and out are oozing 1930s deco style. The tour takes you to the old control room, past the ventilation fans and under the roadway. There are a fair few steps, so bring your walking legs. Fascinating to learn that all those familiar waterfront buildings were built on top of former docks. And for those interested in the engineering, look out for famous British names such as English Electric, David Brown, Metropolitan Vickers. A great tour "off the beaten track". But you'll likely have to book well in advance. Highly recommended.
Had an amazing time visiting the ventilation shaft in the Queensway tunnel. A great testimonial of engineering marvel that dates back to the 1920s. A big shout out to Bill & Ryan, two well-prepared and friendly tour guides.
I really enjoyed this tour Billy and Paul our tour guides were very informative and very funny, lots of humour also lots of stairs, so not for anybody with mobility issues but definitely worth a visit.
Very informative tour, great value for money, intresting behind the scenes look! Ryan and John were fabulous guides. Make use of the lifts, lots of steps. Would highly recommend.
Great tour lots of great information the tour guides are excellent and you can have a giggle as well as being super informative. Would recommend everyone to have look behind the scenes to see all the hardwork to keep the tunnels flowing safely. Definitely put your hat on saved me from a sore head at one point my fault to busy asking questions like I said very interesting. Give it a go if you've not don't it before.
Amazing tour of the tunnel complex. Ryan and John so well informed and friendly, an amazing part of our local history that we take for granted. Highly recommend you to take the time to visit
