Port Sunlight, Mersey Ferry & Liverpool Private or Group Tour
This is our most popular half day private or group excursion starting with a coach tour of the picturesque and unique village of Port Sunlight on the Wirral which was built by William Hesketh Lever as an idyllic model village for his “Sunlight Soap” workers.
