Start by getting a feel for the city as you ride through Liverpool on an open top bus, then slow things down inside The Beatles Story, where the music and stories begin to come together.
Getting started
You can hop on the bus at any stop along the route and start your tour whenever it suits you. For the museum, just show your mobile ticket at the entrance and head inside. Both experiences are flexible and easy to follow.
