Topic: The Stadium Tour

That's a shame. As 18 yard line said, the guides have always been excellent whenever I've gone on the tour. Genuine knowledge and a love for all things LFC.

the first tour I did was fantastic, loved the interaction with the guide, loved the stories about Shanks and why the old home dressing room was as it was.

The self-guided tour whilst OK and did allow you to go more at your own pace lacked a bit for me, the personal touch. We went the Tuesday after the August bank holiday in 2022, don't think there were any games on the day

It is what it is though and it's good to know there is still the chance of a guided tour. Personally I'd pay extra for a guided tour

Going Friday with my son which will be his first time and mine in about 20 years. Can't wait. Can we take photos on our phones or restricted to paying for a photo?

As far as I remember the only restrictions on taking your own photos are when trophies are on show. Optional extra charge to have a photo taken by a tour photographer.

Cool, thanks

This might be useful.

I believe there is a new book out called 'The Art of LFC' which is said to feature the murals and also many of our banners. I've not seen the book myself yet, so can't vouch for how helpful that may be to you. I'll have a look at it in town tomorrow if I see it.

I am very surprised that Diaz have one and Mane does not.

That's a fair point. Mane absolutely should have one.

It's self guided so it's hard to say exactly as it would depend how many other people are doing it at some of the pinch points were you might have to wait to enter certain areas. Plus obviously how much of the audio visual guide you have. I'd probably say you'd need 2 hours minimum to enjoy it. There's also the museum which you'd get access to as well.

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. Its probably something I dont want to rush. I did the tour 15 yrs ago and bringing my daughter for her first time. Might push the flight out and do a walkaround the murals also with her.

Heading to the Brighton game and Liverpool for the weekend with the wife and kids, first time back at Anfield since Brendan Rodgers first game! (thanks kids and mortgage  ) We are going to do the tour all being well on the Monday, cant wait!

[fridgepants]

I did it in November and ours was guided - I don't remember picking it specifically as an option so it may be the luck of the draw?

Really enjoyed the museum as well, slightly morbid but made me wish my dad was still alive as he would have been to Anfield and seen some of those players I was too young to remember. There's also a bit of memorabilia at the Museum of Liverpool (which is absolutely worth it to anyone visiting the city who hasn't been).

Did the tour last Friday as part of a few days hosting a student group (definitely wouldn't recommend herding sixteen students through a football stadium on Friday afternoon when you've got a bus waiting and are on a tight schedule!). I'd done it with my two pre-teen cousins a few years ago and thought the self-guided arrangement was decent - to an extent, I could manage their pace and the photo-opportunities, etc. Felt a little different as part of a larger group though, and that it would have been a much better experience if we'd progressed through as a group - there's probably quite a lot of the handheld AV stuff that could have been skipped in favour of in-person commentary, with signposting just to some key moments (pre-match YNWA for example).
