About this tour
This call walks Mathew Street and down into the Cavern Club, the cellar venue where early gigs helped launch a generation of Liverpool bands. You see the street entrance and the stage area below. I explain what is original to the venue and what was rebuilt later.
We start with a sound check on the street, then move down the cellar steps, taking questions along the way. I send a short list of what we saw afterwards.
It suits music fans and anyone curious about the city's cultural history. It also works well paired with a Beatles Story call the same day.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
