Itinerary
Meet your driver/guide for a run down on the spectacuar buildings we call The Three Graces. And of course, your photo with The Fab 4. Your pick up point can be any other central location if you prefer.
The house played a role and changed the course of Rock and Roll, popular music and teen culsture. You see where Paul lived with his dad Jim, mother Mary and brother Mike. We stop for photos outside and to understand McCartney's early life.
Here we are where John Lennon used to play as a child. Today you have time to browse the gift shop, explore the gardens, stop for a coffee, take your photo with the red gates and on the Beatles-themed bandstand.
Photos outside the house with the black and white gate, where John Lennon spent more of his short life than anywhere else.
The graveyard where the Fab 4 played as children and hung around as teenagers.
Photos with the word famous road sign. See where Paul McCartney signed his name in his 2018 Carpool Karaoke film and then drive up listening to the song.
The birthplace of George Harrison and the house where his played Indian music to him as a baby. Blue plaque marking his birthplace, he was born in the middle of the Second World War, during which Liverpool sustained heavy bombing.
The neighbourhood and house where Ringo lived with his mum, and later his step father who bought him his first drum kit! The house is in the shadow of The Empress Pub that appeared on the front of the first Fab 4 solco album release, by Ringo 'Sentimenal Journey'.
A panoramic drive to Mathew Street, see The Liverpool Anglican cathedral, pass by the schools, colleges and drinking haunts of The Beatles.
The day the world turned on its axis. Paul met John at St Peters Church hall, July 1957. There is a plaque on the wall. Later that year they played The Cavern for the first time.
We arrive at The Cavern, Beatles Mecca and your chance to grab a photo with the world-famous neon sign. You can choose to continue by exploring The Cavern - descend the steps and soak up the atmosphere, imagining what it was like before Beatlemania exploded (entry fee £6 not included).

Driver and guide Jason was exceptional in all aspects of our private taxi tour (Beatles in Liverpool). He took us beyond the standard tourist stops, to show us how the locals remember the Beatles as former neighbors. He helped us take great photos, and personally led us to our final destination (the Cavern Club).
What an awesome tour!! Our driver Robbie is as good as it gets! His knowledge of the Beatles was absolutely amazing. He knew their life history from the time they were children to the time they became mega stars. We saw their homes, their schools and their old stomping grounds. He knew the stories behind many of their songs...told with a great Liverpool sense of humor. Just outstanding! And a special shout out to our rock star booking agent Jen. She worked her magic (on her day off) and found us Robbie!! Thank you Jen!! I have been on 12 cruises... this was my favorite tour!!! Just outstanding!!🤩🤩

Ah our lovely Tom, one of your great team of driver/guides. Thank you Laura for your review and recommendation. The team here with you happy onward travels. RGD Jen & the Big Beatles Tour driver/guides.
We had such a great time learning more about the Beatles history and visiting the places that shaped their early lives. Our guide Jason, also sprinkled a wealth of information about the history of Liverpool. It was a fabulous experience. We have also really enjoyed Liverpool. Everyone we’ve met had been friendly and engaging.
Wowzer we are so pleased you now see Liverpool through our eyes! Sprinkling magic just like George Martin did to the music ... we love it thank you! The team here wish you onward happy travels and thanks for the recommendation. Jen and the Big Beatles Taxi Tour driver/guides
Our host Jason was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and enthusiastic. He made the experience surpass our expectations. To know the Beatles you need to know the Liverpool from the 50’s and 60’s right through to today. Our host was brilliant at contextualising the times with the music and the wider storey of Liverpool as a maelstrom of political and musical culture. It was simply brilliant.
Jason is a star we are lucky to have him thank you for your recommendation. I'm passing on yoru comments and the team here with you Happy onward travels! Jen & the Big Beatles Taxi Tour driver/guides.
