Top 10 Bus Tours in Liverpool, England

November 20, 2021 Milan Banda

Liverpool's fortunes have historically been tied to shipping. But imports and exports like sugar, spice and tobacco pale in comparison with Liverpool's most famous export of all—the Beatles. Relive the hysteria at the Beatles Story Experience, and check out Paul's childhood home, but also leave time for exploring Liverpool Cathedral and the Walker Art Gallery.

Booked for April 2020 but was cancelled due to Covid and wouldn’t refund money,issued voucher to use in 2021.Now informed that they won’t honour existing booking as they’ve put price up by £150 ???????? so have refunded original money.Have kept my money for over a year to help their business survive but now increased the price by about 80% and don’t want to look after existing bookings.Shocking way for a company to act so avoid them at all cost.Contact Liverpool taxi drivers via social media who will look after you at a fraction of the cost with a professional service. Brit Movie Tours are greedy and unprofessional !!!

Why take a shared Beatles or LIverpool tour in a coach when you can travel safely with your own qualified Blue Badge Tour Guide who is great fun and who is also a Beatles expert. See Penny Lane, Strawberry Field & much more. Our luxury V-class Mercedes is sanitised between tours and there is Hand Gel, masks and WIFi on board. I will explain how and why the city has changed in a lighthearted informative way and help you plan the rest of your day. There are very few licensed driver guides in Liverpool and no other Liverpool Qualified Guide has a V-class Mercedes. I am a Beatles expert & I like to mix up the legacy left by the fab4 with the maritime history and the impact of the new waterfront buildings on the World Heritage Site. I will talk about the Georgian Quarter and the slave trade and you will visit the Victorian Round Reading Room and be driven through the world heritage site. My tours are family friendly and I will help you plan the rest of your visit.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation

Exclusions: Gratuities

I joined the North Wales Adventure with Busy Bus, on 26/9/2020. It was a fantastic day trip through N. Wales and the Snowdonia Park. The places we visited, the scenery we met, the organisation of the trip were brilliant. Frank, our driver and guide was amazing! He made our tour unforgettable! A wonderful man, who loves his job and made us a little Welsh too. I'm looking forward to joining more day trips with Busy Bus. Thank you.

This tour was fantastic from the second we’d booked it!! The communication from Ian was quick and efficient, much helped by the fact that he does all the organising/booking/tours himself so he knows exactly what he’s doing. The tour itself was just so informative, I cannot believe that one person can remember that many facts and dates, Ians knowledge verges on encyclopaedic! I won’t say too much about the places that you visit as you need to book and see for yourselves. What I will say though is that is was fun, informative, good value for money, breathtaking and that chances are we will return to Liverpool with family next year and do this tour again, hopefully the weather will be better next time, but even that wasn’t enough to dampen our spirits. Thank you Ian, it was a real pleasure to meet you!
