On this tale of two cities, you’ll enjoy time in two popular and contrasting tourist magnets. Explore Liverpool at your own pace perhaps taking in the listed buildings, superb museums and notable landmarks that make it such an exciting metropolis. Maybe follow the time-honoured tradition of hopping aboard the colourful ferry across the Mersey for the ultimate sightseeing experience or use the hop on, hop off bus to get around. Don’t miss Albert Dock, home to The Beatles Story, Tate Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, Victorian Carousel and The International Slavery Museum as well as shops, bars and restaurants. Other attractions include the Cavern Club, Strawberry Field, Royal Liver Building, and the Walker Art Gallery. We travel to Chester, a historic gem on the River Dee that never fails to delight. Walk the city walls, take a boat trip, visit the cathedral, or discover the Roman amphitheatre, the castle and The Rows. For a change of scenery, a day at the beach in Southport is just the ticket, with its golden sands, Grade II listed pleasure pier, seafront marine lake and pleasant promenade.
