Discover Merseyside’s first and only tour about Freddie Mercury and Queen!

This has been a long time coming! I’ve been wanting to create Liverpool’s first Queen tour since studying my Masters Degree and learning about the numerous links that the band, at its famous lead singer, Freddie Mercury, has with our city.

The research began several years ago, when spurred on by the phenomenon of the film Bohemian Rhapsody, I decided to write a blog about some of the places in Liverpool where Freddie has spent time.

The blog proved to be very successful and generated plenty of interest from both press and members of the public wanting to know more about Freddie’s links to Liverpool. So, after some further research and a couple of private tours, I got together with my tutor, friend and Popular Music Historian, Dr Mike Brocken, to put this Queen tour together!

Tour 1 - Don’t Stop Me Now

120 minutes duration | Walking Tour | Minimum 2 people per tour

This is a two hour walking tour starting in the University area of Liverpool, near Brownlow Hill at Mountford Hall. We then walk down the hill via Hardman Street, passing places where both the band and Freddie, during the Ibex years, performed. We then pay a visit to the world-famous Cavern Club, where Queen performed in 1970. You’ll also have the opportunity to see the site of the demolished Liverpool Stadium where the band performed as a support act for Mott the Hoople, and much, much, more…

Tour 2 - Good Company

180 minutes duration | Car Tour | Minimum 2 people per tour

This tour includes everything that is listed in the above ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ tour, but will use transport to visit the various places of interest. We will also drive to the outskirts of the city to visit a very special pub called Dovedale Towers. This pub, which is situated on Penny Lane - the most famous road in the city - is where Freddie used to live. We can even go inside and raise a glass to the musical legend!
