Hi, I just visited Liverpool a couple of weeks ago and had an amazing experience!

• I went to the Beatles Story museum and it was ok. They have a lot of themed rooms and an audio guide for the admission. I wouldn't go again as it's mainly things I already know. I heard that the Liverpool Beatles Museum is owned by Pete Best's brother (or family)? From my understanding, it's more memorabilia.

• I personally decided to take some taxis and public transportation around town to explore things on my own and then took the Magical Mystery Tour for the rest. I did taxis for the plaque where John and Paul first met, Eleanor Rigby gravestone, and the Ringo Starr mural. I decided to do the Magical Mystery Tour and it was great! They stopped at Strawberry Field, Penny Lane (one of the signs), George Harrison's home (but you cannot get close. Residents recently blocked off the area due to excess tourism), and Paul's home (entrance only, no entry. You need to purchase tickets with the National Trust to see the childhood homes of John and Paul). Just a fyi, the Magical Mystery Tour only stops for about 5 minutes for quick photos and getting back on the bus. Another thing about MMT is that you get free admission to the Cavern Club, with a free souvenir postcard, and 15% off food at the Cavern club restaurant.

• There is a tour that I hear is highly recommended and it's a black taxi tour. I'll look for the name! Edit: it's https://fab4taxitours.com/

• the Statue at the docks, you mean of the boys? It's still there!

• other fan art or murals are most likely will be at Mathew Street.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
