Venture inside John’s favourite pub where Paul did his Carpool Karaoke gig. Voted the World's most ornate pub.
Pass by the schools and colleges attended by band members and where John lived as a teenager. And see Liverpool’s two cathedrals - one of which where Paul was ‘not good enough to join the choir’ as a schoolboy!
We then wander downhill into town and you will catch the atmosphere of where the boys played in their early days and where they departed for their infamous first stint in Hamburg as well as a venue of a failed audition as a support act.
We continue towards town via Europe’s first Art Centre, it once hosted an exhibition by Yoko Ono. And we then arrive at Matthew Street.
Welcome to Beatles Mecca - Mathew St! Home to the Cavern made famous by The Fab Four We can look at the Wall of Fame, take photos with John Lennon statue, See The Hard Day’s Night Hotel, the new Brian Epstein statue and the pass by the pubs that were frequented by the Fab Four and their manager before a final goodbye to Matthew St via the sculpture of Eleanor Rigby.
Option to enter Cavern Club whilst in Mathew St. Order/length of tour can be tailored to accommodate you visiting the venue where the boys played more than 250 times. Experience the buzz as you descend the steps into what is probably the most famous music venue in the world.
A secret stop! Not often visited by tours or visitors and I will uncover the phenomenon of what was a major turning point for the band that shook the world.
Pass by the Town Hall where they appeared on the balcony at the height of Beatlemania!
Finally we head to Liverpool’s majestic waterfront. En route you will glean an understanding of why this amazing city became the centre of maritime trade during the British Empire. And how it influenced the Merseybeat sound that became synonymous with the city. We arrive at the giant Beatles statue in the shadow of three buildings that personify Liverpool and its heritage. Another fantastic photo stop before we end the tour, and we will escort you back to where you need to be.
See points of interest from the John Lennon film ‘Nowhere Boy’. This stop is included if you arrive by train to Lime Street. Walking speed and start/finish points will alter the order/flow of the tour and end point.

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.
Robert was outstanding and showed us many different places and explained a lot abiut where the Beatles lived and performed.
Hello and thank you 🙏. We have passed your comments on to our star guide, 'Roberto ', and he told me that he had a wonderful time with you both and you were fab guests! So kind to take the time to leave a review. We all wish you happy onward travels.
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.
Thank you 🙏 we love to get feedback from our guests and could not be happier that you enjoyed your tour with the wonderful James! The team here wish you happy onward travels and Thank you again for taking the time to write this 5 star review.
Adam met us just out the fence of the port and we had a wonderful time walking the city. He was very knowledgeable and the tune to our schedule.
Thanks for the review of our lovely Adam! Thank you for taking time to leave him a review and happy onward travels from the team here.
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!
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!
Our guide Jenn was very friendly and was very knowledgeable about the Beatles. She took us to some great spots and gave a great tour.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to drop a review here. SO glad you enjoyed the tour and I hope all enjoy your onward travel to London. Kind Regards JEN
Jenna did a fantastic job! From the planning to finding the best spots in Liverpool. Our daughter is Beatles fan and she had an amazing time! We came from London, Jenna was there at the train station, we lived every minute of it!
Thank you for adding your review ... Every one counts, am so pleased you enjoyed your time in Liverpool! Come back and see us soon. Happy Travels.
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.
Hello what fun we had. You are true Beatles fans and honorary Scousers now! Thank you so much for your lovely review. Happy travels!
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.
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 🤩
