Beatles Museum

Q: While we are in London in October, we would like to visit the Beatles Museum in Liverpool. We would also like to take any tour that shows us their birthplaces, etc. Is there a tour company that offers tours to Liverpool or one in Liverpool that we could make contact with and make our own travel arrangements? We would prefer not to have to stay over in Liverpool. - Lilian Jones
