Liverpool Hop On Hop Off Tour: 24hr City Ticket

Cruise past the Cavern Club, the Three Graces and two cathedrals on your own schedule

A 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour of Liverpool lets you board and leave whenever you want, with stops at the Royal Albert Dock, Cavern Club, Liverpool Cathedral, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Chinatown and 14 other landmarks. Choose between a live English guide or a multilingual audio system in 10 languages. Children from age 3 are welcome, and you'll get a complimentary glass of bubbly at the Philharmonic Dining Rooms.

The experience

You board at the Yellow American School Bus Cafe stop and ride the red route for as long as you want over the next 24 hours. The bus circles through 14 stops, so you can hop off at the Royal Albert Dock to explore its maritime history and galleries, jump back on to reach the Cavern Club, then leave again when you want to walk Chinatown or stand in front of the Three Graces on the waterfront. A live guide in English narrates the route, or you can switch to the audio system and listen in any of 10 languages. The choice is yours each time you board.

The stops include the Western Approaches WWII Museum, Liverpool One shopping center, the World Museum and Walker Art Gallery, Lime Street Station, and both of Liverpool's cathedrals: the Gothic Liverpool Cathedral and the striking Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. The Philharmonic Dining Rooms is a stop on its own, and when you get there, you'll receive a free glass of bubbly as part of your ticket. The bus runs in all weather, so dress for it. Mobile tickets arrive on your phone before you leave.

Children from age 3 can ride, and infants travel free on an adult's lap. The bus is wheelchair accessible, and all stops and surfaces are designed to accommodate wheelchairs. If you're arriving by cruise ship and running late, note that refunds won't be issued if you miss the tour because of a delayed arrival.

Is this one for you?The 24-hour ticket works best if you're spending an afternoon and evening in Liverpool or have a few hours between other plans. You can hop off at two or three stops without feeling rushed, then rejoin the bus when you're ready. If you want to spend the full day exploring every stop in depth, consider the 48-hour or 72-hour option instead.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 15 years). Children under 3 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I get off the bus and come back on later during my 24 hours?

Yes, that's the whole point of hop-on hop-off. You board and leave at any of the 14 stops whenever you want during your 24-hour window, so you can spend an hour at the Royal Albert Dock, then catch the next bus to the Cavern Club, or walk around Chinatown and rejoin the route later.

What's included in the ticket besides the bus ride?

The ticket includes hop-on hop-off access to all 14 stops, a live English guide or multilingual audio commentary in 10 languages, and a complimentary glass of bubbly at the Philharmonic Dining Rooms. Exclusive discounts are also available at certain attractions.

Is the Cavern Club included, or do I have to pay to get inside?

The bus stops at the Cavern Club and you can hop off there, but entry to the club itself is separate: the tour passes by it and stops nearby so you can visit if you choose.

What are the Three Graces, and will I see them on the tour?

The Three Graces are three iconic Edwardian buildings standing together on the Liverpool waterfront: the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port Authority Building. The bus passes them as part of the route, and you can hop off to walk along the waterfront and photograph them up close.

If my cruise ship arrives late, can I still do this tour?

The tour operates on a fixed schedule, and refunds are not issued if you miss it because your ship arrived late. Check the departure times before booking to make sure you'll have time to reach the first stop.
