We did the 10.30 am Sunday morning Blue route bus tour on a recent trip from Ireland. We were lucky to get Tommy as our guide and Joe as our driver . A double Scouse act . Tommy is an absolute legend and nice guy , very knowledgeable on local area and history. We sang and laughed our way round the city tour and dodged some low hanging tree branches as we were sat on the top deck of the bus at the back . We had a few photo opportunities along the route , a lovely poem reading from Tommy , a tribute to Pete burns . Everyone on the bus was buzzing and had a fab time ! Thanks v much x
Guild was reallyvnice and knowledgeable. Made it fun and interesting
A great way to travel to the outskirts of Liverpool and to see the locations that formed a big part of the history of the Beatles. Our tour guide Louie was excellent. Very knowledgable and entertaining throughout. Well done Louie! 👏🏼
The guide Tom was fantasic and the driver Joe was great. Had such a laugh. Best bus we have ever been on
Wow! What a great experience. Had discounted tickets due to being an educator, which was a bonus! Damion our tour guide was great, we entered the bus to him introducing himself and singing to us whilst playing guitar. Just brilliant! The tour included stopping at Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, where Damion and bus driver Joe offered to take photos of all sightseeing, this was a lovely touch to the tour. They were both just a joy. Damion had great knowledge and an obvious love for the Beatles, which made it so much more special. He pointed out the houses of John, Paul, Ringo and told us about the childhood's of all members. How they met, how they formed, even passing the crematorium where Cilla Black was buried. Music played along the way and singing along, was such a fun way to tour the city. We loved it and it is highly recommended. Would do it again happily.
Excellent tour Jim the guide was so informative,funny and entertaining
With Tom as our guide and Joe as our driver the Beatles tour was an absolute hit with us. Highly recommend as it is very informative and fun.
Omg it was AMAZING!! The guy (forgot the name but he just started this week) had amazing clear voice and really friendly.. They also played Beatles music during the trip and loved the detailed info. I'm not a Beatles fan, I came because of my parents but after this educational trip, I will definitely start listening more to their music!
The tour was very entertaining with Jimmy and Robbie. Jimmy the narrator was very funny and informative. Robbie was funny as well being his sidekick plus great job driving the bus. He was also helpful with giving us information and directions for the next day. We also used the red route to completely see the other sights. It was a great value and Jimmy/Robbie provided us with one of the best bus tours we have been on.
Excellent tour, well worth the money. A must if you are visiting Liverpool and never done it before. Luis, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting with a few songs played along the way. Thank you Luis and Dave for a great Beatles route tour
