Itinerary
Day 1
After being collected from your local pick-up point, we travel to Liverpool with a comfort stop along the way. On arrival at the hotel, drop off your luggage and head out into the city. Liverpool City Centre is compact and walkable. There are various ‘quarters’ (more than four) that represent the various areas of the city centre. They are The Ropewalks, The Georgian Quarter, Cavern Quarter, The Baltic Triangle, The Waterfront, St George’s Quarter and Chinatown. With plenty of eateries, bars, shops and attractions, there's so much to explore! At the Christmas market, you'll find a variety of stalls selling food, drinks, gifts, crafts, and more. You can also enjoy live entertainment, rides, and a giant Ferris wheel. There is something for everyone: such as the Santa Land for little ones, the much-loved Karaoke Ski Lifts at the Alpine Bar, a beautiful carousel, and so much more.
Day 2
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before rejoining the coach for an exciting trip to The Beatles Story, the world’s largest permanent exhibition dedicated to the legendary band. Immerse yourself in this magical history tour and see how four young lads from Liverpool were propelled to the dizzying heights of worldwide fame and fortune to become the greatest band of all time - from their Liverpool childhood, through the early days of the band, to world domination and on to their solo careers. Find out how the Fab Four met, go behind the scenes at the famous Abbey Road Studios and take an underwater trip on the Yellow Submarine. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Day 3
After breakfast and hotel checkout, we head to Chester. Every year between late November and late December, Chester Christmas Market celebrates the holiday season in the very heart of the city, next to Chester Town Hall and Chester Cathedral. Nearly 70 glowing stalls are scattered around the magnificent Christmas tree. The vendors sell Christmas gifts and stocking fillers, as well as arts and crafts goodies. Several stalls also offer hot dogs, hog roasts, mulled wine, and other local spirits, so you won't get cold or hungry. We return home late afternoon.
