Wished the bus tour was longer and covered a few more Beatle sites.
A great day trip from London. It's important to meet the tour rep at Euston Station to receive the rail, Beatles Story, and Magical Mystery Tour tickets. Their is no tour rep in Liverpool. Be prepared to navigate on your own to get to the Albert Docks. But Liverpool has many guideposts with info and directions to help you, and the people are very friendly and willing to point the way. Once you get to the Albert Docks, you can explore the shops and restaurants. The Beatles Story takes an hour and a half, so that takes up most of the morning. We went to a nearby restaurant called "Revolution" for a nice bite to eat. From there, it was on to the Magical Mystery Tour bus. The tour was a great companion attraction that takes you around the Liverpool the Beatles grew up in. It was a great fun-filled day, recommended for Beatles fans.
Tour went well - very overpriced however. The agent we met at Eustonprovided lots of detail and all required documents (printed out off a computer) and was very helpful. The two hour Magical Mystery Tour in Liverpool is OK, not great, OK. The Beatles museum is very good. You can book that tour for considerably less doing it yourself. Total admissions were about 40 GPB plus the train ride per person.
The journey was interesting and the driver pleasant but the tape was not set accurately against the sights. The tape was also out of date at the Liverpool Museum and the Radio Tower. We were surprised to find we were on the last bus at 2.45 from Albert Dock, when your advertise later times so it was not possible to "Hop-on and -off"
Fabulous- we used the bus all day, first doing the full trip, then getting on and off. The buses were on time, the commentary was good, the weather wonderful, a really good value trip. We will use the service again, both in Liverpool and wherever else the service is available.
Good value, tour covers main items of interest in Liverpool City. The ability to hop on and off at will plus the often humorous running commentary make for an enjoyable journey. Bus drivers were all helpful with local details etc.
I was born in Liverpool and lived there til 1984. The tour was ok but could've been much better. What about Sefton and Calderstones Park, Penny Lane and Lark Lane? The London and York tours I've been on with you seemed far more comprehensive and enjoyable.
It was a most enjoyable trip, the driver extremely helpful and the comentary was first class. Having moved away from Liverpool in 1966 I was amazed at what little I knew of the city. It seemed like a new city.
The train, Beatles Story, and Magical Mystery Tour were all great, but I wouldn't purchase a "tour" from this company again. The "tour guide" didn't arrive until 6:45am (only a few minutes before the train was supposed to depart) after several calls to the company. The guide just drops off tickets to everything, and then you're on your own. Just buy everything on your own.
This was an awesome day trip! A must for any Beatles fan - from their heyday or not. The only thing I didn't realize was that there is no tour guide on this tour. I was met at the rail station and given an envelope with train tickets, a map of Liverpool and passes to get into The Beatles Story and to get on the Magical Mystery Tour bus...the rest is up to you! If I had realized that I would have done a little bit of research before going, but it's a pretty straight-forward and small city. Every part of the day was fantastic and to top it off, at the end of the bus tour, they drop you off at The Cavern Club - where we spent 2 hours listening to a brother duo who do covers of Lennon and McCartney songs. A great way to end a great day!
The trip and venue was fantastic, regrettably the guide or Viator was misinformed about the timing for the coach part of the tour. We were all advised by viator that it was a 12:30pm departure but at this time of the year they do not run the 12:30 one and it was at 2:30 so several of us were dissappointed to not see other things due to the fact that we all organized our day around the 12:30 time. That was quite disappointing.
Really enjoyed this tour, although it was rather short in comparrison to some other Hop Off Hop On tours, but still enjoyed it alot and would recommend anyone to do this
We found a people who had used the Yellow bus had a guide deliver the comentary which was much more informative. Our bus lacked a number of information that would have been interesting to hear.
This was superb, we have toured numerous cities on open top buses, this was nearly the best, only surpassed by Paris, better than Barcelona.
