Beatles Magical Mystery Tour by coach in Liverpool, with stops at Penny Lane, Strawberry Field, key childhood homes, and free Cavern Club entry.
“We got the early bus tour that was a good idea as the city was quite quiet and the traffic was minimal. The driver and the tour guide were excellent. We visited most of the places that we wanted to see in Liverpool and obviously seeing where the Beatles originated was a highlight of the tour. It’s a bit surreal looking at where they came from afterwards they dropped us off at the cavern club and we got a voucher to go in - it was 1130 on a Sunday morning so was still quite quiet. There was music on and we had a drink. It was quite a chilled…”

“The most memorable part of my trip to alton towers was all the hastle that I had because I chose viator to book my trip with,and could not get into alton towers because my name wasn't in the system,as viator had not sent me the bar codes i needed to be on the system so therefore I had to pay full maximum walk up prices for me and my family and viator would not refund me my money or give me tickets for another date,so I have ended up paying twice the amount I would of paid if I would of used the alton towers app,absolute joke wouldn't recommend to…”
A guided day trip from London to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath, with a comfy coach, optional entrance tickets, and context you miss solo.
“Seating/knee room on bus is limited. A good amt of waiting to enter due to crowds potentially, much depends on time of year. We were lucky we got to Windsor early, had to wait an hour for gates to be opened. Also- Windsor deserves its own day to visit. Too much to see 1.5 hr is not enough. Morton our guide was exceptional!”

“Mick was an amazing tour guide. We stopped in beforehand to get souvenirs, and was introduced to him and discussed other cases before the tour. Very insightful on many things. I have taken many tours similar to this and he has been by far the best guide. He even provided photos of what the places looked like during the time of the killings.”
