    Planning Your Visit

    • Getting Around

      With Liverpool John Lennon Airport on the edge of the city, it’s easy to have a flying visit. But once you’re there, the city has plenty of public transport, whether it is by road, rail or river. For any attractions along the waterfront, hop onto a Mersey Ferries service for something different.

    • Where should you stay in Liverpool?

      The city is brimming with hotels, apartments, hostels, and B&Bs. There’s plenty to choose from - whatever your price range - and all with that famous Scouse welcome. For somewhere with a view, why not stay in rooms overlooking The Albert Dock, close to chic restaurants and bars. No matter where you end up, you’ll be able to travel easily to all of the city’s must-see sights.

    The only fault with the beatles story is their marketing. You don't get any idea from the website or promotional leaflet just how good this exhibition/museum of all things "beatles". The experience far exceeding both mine and my partner's expectations. The quantity of original material and the scope of what is covereed are truly awesome.

    Liverpool: The Beatles Story Ticket Reviewed by Mike, 10/10/2020

    We had Tony as our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He has so much knowledge about the Beatles and Liverpool in general as well. He was a delight to take the tour with and it’s the best tourist attraction related to the Beatles that we’ve ever had. Recommend to everyone.

    Beatles Tour of Liverpool by Taxi Reviewed by Megan, 11/3/2020

    This was a superb tour. There were only five passengers, so a good deal of chat between courier Tony and ourselves. With a wife coming originally from Liverpool, but having moved away over 50 years ago, there was lots to talk about. His commentary was excellent.

    Liverpool: City and Beatles Open Top Bus Tour Reviewed by Nigel, 10/3/2020

    This was my first experience of a guided tour which I really enjoyed! It was fun and the guides were brilliant! They dressed the part and gave an engaging theatrical account of some ghost history stories of Liverpool. Had a great time. I highly recommend it!
