Beatles Walking Tour of Liverpool Review Mike was an excellent tour guide—very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the history of the Beatles and Liverpool. I’ll be honest, I originally didn’t even want to go on the tour because I’m not really a Beatles fan. But after taking the walk, I gained a whole new appreciation for the history and the impact the Beatles had on Liverpool and the world. Mike did a fantastic job bringing the history to life and making the tour enjoyable, even for someone who isn't a Beatles fan. I truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Liverpool.
Mike is a fantastic guide and we are so lucky he is part of our team. He will be delighted with your comments Best wishes Purple Tours
I was skeptical of how much I would learn, since I am already a huge Beatles fan. But chance wold grant that no else signed up for my tour with Mike, who has literally written books about the Beatles, and knew every little detail, from the one building where Paul's father bought him a trumpet, to the other building across the street where Paul then exchanged it for a guitar, to where Ringo got his haircut after a list of former drummers much longer, I discovered, than Pete Best.
So pleased you enjoyed your tour with Mike he is a great guide and we are lucky to have him on our team. He will be delighted with your comments. Best wishes Purple tours
