Surprising Liverpool
Excellent tour that included information about both the history of Liverpool and the Beatles. My friend is a huge Beatles fan and she loved the personalized attention. I loved learning about the city, a place I never would have visited, but definitely would go back. Liverpool was the best surprise of the trip.

On a winner with The Beatles and James
We are on a family trip to the UK and have done a few walking tours here and there, but this was the best by a long way. James our tour guide was friendly, numerous and extremely knowledgeable. If you are a Beatles fan or not I could not recommend this tour highly enough.

Worth every minute!
If you want to walk in the footsteps of John, Paul, George and Ringo while being immersed in Beatles and Liverpool history, this is the tour for you. Our guide David was WONDERFUL! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and informative. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed our time and learned things we didn't know about the Beatles. We took the 9:00 am tour and enjoyed the sites not being overcrowded. It allowed for great photo ops without dealing with large crowds. I/we HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Liverpool!
Operator response
Fantastic, am passing your comments to David now. He's a natural storyteller, that's for sure! We are so glad you enjoyed being shown around by a true local. It's our trademark. And Happy travels!

See where the Beatles began
Jenna was very knowledgeable and personable...very easy to be with. Saw little known places and offered details only a scouse would know. As she was telling us about the Silver Beatles last gig at the Blue Angle pub before heading off to Hamburg, the owner came out and Jenna was able to get us inside to see the actual stage. Just a wonderful experience.
Operator response
Hello what fun we had. You are true Beatles fans and honorary Scousers now! Thank you so much for your lovely review. Happy travels!

Beatles made Liverpool
Jen was an incredible tour guide. She was born and raised in Liverpool and is intimate with the city and its history. If she doesn’t have an answer for your question, she will find it and get back to you. The tour [started at Lime St] took us throughout the city center from cultural landmarks such as the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral [home of the Catholic archdiocese], the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral [rejected Paul McCartney as a choirboy] and the Chinatown arch [largest arch outside of China]; to the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts [founded by Paul McCartney and friend], numerous Beatles history along the way [band members, families, and managers as various venues were viewed], the intentional design of buildings and ancient roads, and ended at the Beatles statue at Albert Dock. If you are up to walking and talking, and want to learn about the Beatles and the city of Liverpool, this tour is for you. There are a plethora of restaurants at the dock to choose from to recharge your battery after the tour. Rudy's pizza was good, but recommend two people sharing as it is larger than a personal size pizza. The steak at Gusto received rave reviews.
Operator response
That's an amazing review thank you 🙏 I'm touched you enjoyed the tour as much as you did! As you realise Liverpool is a wonderful city and I count my blessings every day to have been born here. THANKS J 🤩
