Liverpool Beatles Walking and History Tour

Once in a lifetime chance for Beatles fans to see as many Fab Four sites as possible in the city of Liverpool. Perfect for Beatle-maniacs arriving by cruise ship, train or staying in any central hotel.
Your qualified city & Beatles guide with 9+ years experience will share anecdotes, answer questions and make sure you take home some wonderful memories - and photographs! - from your time in the now cosmopolitan city that was once the throbbing heart of The Merseybeat.

Options include having a drink in John Lennon's favourite pub, descending the steps to the Cavern where the 'boys that shook the world' played more than 250+ times and having your photo taken at The Beatles Statue on Liverpool's breathtaking waterfront.

Taking to the city on foot is the best way to see Liverpool, and this is largely a circular walk which may be adapted depending on your start point/finish point/walking speed or customised on the day by highly experienced guide to facilitate your personal preferences.
