“Ended up upgrading to the Beetles blue line tour. This hop on hop off was very affordable because you got the route to see must see places in Liverpool regarding the Beetles and then you were able to get off and do the hop on hop off of Liverpool. Truly got a very good perspective of the city historically and as the home of the Beetles”
