Liverpool F.C. Anfield Tour – A Review
On our recent trip to Liverpool, Ben and I were lucky enough to be offered a Liverpool F.C. Anfield tour. We agreed to write a review in return for the tickets; however, all views below are my own and those of Ben.
Buying the tour from BuyAGift.com
Whether you purchase the Anfield tour from BuyAGift.com yourself or receive it as a gift, booking the tour is really easy. Using the code you are given, simply choose the date and time you prefer, and then enter the information and book it.
This means that if you are buying it as a gift, it is perfect, as the recipient can choose the best date for themselves. Additionally, if they want to add extra people or extras, such as a guidebook or photos, that can also be done.
How is the tour managed, and how big is the group?
As we took the Anfield tour during the school holidays, there was no tour guide as such, but rather a device with headphones that guided us around the stadium.
The group of people we entered the stadium with was around 20, although that number fluctuates every 5-10 minutes, so there are a number of people present. Everyone can move along at their own speed, though.
Ben found this helpful as he finds big groups of people and feeling rushed around quite stressful. The fact that we could go at our own speed, listening to the parts we chose on the headset, was perfect.
There were, however, a number of guides around the stadium who were great to chat with and shared many interesting facts, which was nice.
Anfield Tour, Liverpool F.C.’s stadium – What do you see?
The Anfield tour takes you through the stadium, seeing the press areas, dressing rooms, players’ bar and of course through the tunnel to pitch-side with the dugout.
The home dressing room was filled with shirts from all the first teams that you could pose for photos with. Sitting where the players sit, preparing for a match, is the dream of any football fan.
Then walking through the tunnel and sitting in the dugout, feeling like a star, really makes the Anfield tour special.
The ground has a rich history, which we learned about from both the audio guide and the friendly guides during the tour. Ben is a big football fan and loves it. I am less interested in football, but I still found it quite interesting.
The tour also includes entry to the museum, which features numerous trophies, kits, and memorabilia from years past. This part is separate from the Anfield tour and next to The Boot Room restaurant in the stadium.
Our overall thoughts on the Liverpool F.C. Stadium tour
For the price of £20 per adult and £12 per child, I think the Anfield tour is a great value. Gift vouchers from BuyAGift.com would be a lovely gift for any fan, young or old. There was access to lifts when needed to ensure that everyone could participate in the tour and no one was left behind.
All the tour guides were helpful. The audio guides and exploring the stadium at our own pace were perfect for us.
Tips for those going on the Liverpool F.C. Tour
If you plan to eat in The Boot Room afterwards, it may be easier to book a table, as there are some booths with TVs that you will love, but these are often booked upon arrival.
Ensure your battery is fully charged for your camera or phone, as you will take a lot of photos!
Avoid wearing anything green or nearly green if you want to have photos taken with the replica cup, as they use a green screen.
