Thank you Allan for a great tour around Liverpool. Very interesting and kept the children interested the whole time. He even contacted me after the tour had ended to let me know the museum opening times had changed over the Easter period. He recommended the Beatles story museum which we went to afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks again 😊
