From our hotel close to the centre of Chester, you will have plenty of time to explore this magnificent walled town, and also get to follow in the footsteps of The Beatles as you discover Liverpool. We have lots of sole use rooms on this tour!
Day 1 We make our way north, with suitable refreshment stops, arriving at our hotel in Chester late afternoon. Tonight, we have an included glass of wine with dinner.
Day 2 We travel up to Liverpool, a remarkable city which we enjoy first with a guided driven tour. The rest of the day is free for you to explore - you could visit the many attractions at Albert Dock, the city’s shops or museums, or take a ferry across the Mersey, with views of the famous ‘Three Graces’.
Day 3 A free morning to enjoy Chester, to stroll along the unique shopping streets – the two-tier Rows, discover the city walls, the cathedral, Roman amphitheatre, visit the zoo or relax in one of the many pleasant cafés. In the afternoon we have a sightseeing cruise with commentary on the River Dee.
Day 4 This morning we visit Port Sunlight, built by William Hesketh Lever for his factory workers and named after his famous Sunlight Soap. We then return to our hotel for a cream tea, or more time to explore Chester. We have an included glass of wine with our final dinner.
