Where to walk in England

  • Liverpool (3 tours): Three Graces rising over Pier Head, ferries crossing the Mersey, Beatles murals down Mathew Street, two cathedrals on the same Hope Street. The port that built the British Empire, and reckons with what it carried.
  • London (5 tours): Black cabs threading Georgian terraces, the Thames bending past the City, double-deckers crossing every bridge, four parks meeting in the middle. The empire's old centre, where every century left a building still standing.
  • Manchester (3 tours): Red brick warehouses along Castlefield canals, Victorian Gothic town hall over Albert Square, vinyl shops and curry houses on Oldham Street, football scarves in every doorway. The city that invented the modern industrial economy, and then exported its sound.

How much do walking tours in England cost?

Every tour is free to preview. A single tour is $4.99 for lifetime access. If you are visiting more than one city, a 30-day pass covering every tour everywhere is $19.99, or a 7-day pass is $12.99. There is no group booking, no fixed start time, and no tip.

Besides the walks, Roamer has independent audio guides for the inside of these museums, room by room, with no route to follow.

  • British Museum audio guide (London): The Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures, mummies, Assyrian lion hunts and a glass-roofed court. The British Museum, at your own pace.
  • National Gallery audio guide (London): Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait, Holbein's Ambassadors, the Rokeby Venus, Turner's Fighting Temeraire and Monet's water lilies. The National Gallery, at your own pace.
