Reviews
Superb Tour with top class guideOrkho
There were lots of options regarding Beatles Tours available to us. My friend did a lot of research and chose this particular provider and our party of four were picked up at our hotel at the agreed time by our guide Jason.
Our tour was comprehensive with lots of stopping off points giving us a chance to visit sites including the 'Famous Four's' childhood homes , St Peters Church and Strawberry Fields. The tour culminated at Mathew Street and the Cavern.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our tour and I must pay particular credit to Jason, our guide. He went out of his way to ensure we saw all the major sights and he had the gift of imparting a large amount of information mixed with lots of good humour.
A recommended tour

Fabulous Fab 4 tour!Lisa_D
We booked this small group tour in Liverpool to learn more about how the Beatles began. John was an amazing tour guide! He showed us so many spots and personalized the tour to our interests. Highly recommend-it was a great afternoon!

More then just a Beatles tour our guide Tom took us around to a few different places in Liverpool. Tom had great knowledge of Liverpool and Beatles .
Excellent Beatles TourDwight_J
Excellent tour! John picked us up and dropped us off within easy walking distance of the cruise pier. We rode in a spacious taxi van (2 persons) and were able to park close to all the historic sites while the large buses were not. John was very knowledgeable about the Beatles history and provided Beatles music during transit time. A very enjoyable way to spend 3 hours in Liverpool.
Local and knowledgeable. K2Zumba
Aug 30, 2026, 10:51:18 AM Jason was very knowledgeable. He took us to many places that were formative to the Beatles lives. We enjoyed seeing their childhood homes, where Paul first met John and Strawberry fields. He also included many murals around Liverpool. He was considerate of mobility issues in our group.
Great Beatles Tour!!!Ann_N
Aug 27, 2026, 10:36:53 AM We had a great tour with our guide Joe. The best part was being able to go to St. Peter’s Church where Paul and John met, there we were able to talk to a local residents who have grown up there and attended the church and events with them. So special! Thanks Joe for a great day!!
Robbie was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best things was having some background information about the Beatles that we would not have known about had we gone on a big bus tour. He was extremely accommodating. Extra special touch was showing us pictures of all the Beatles and their families. It was very cool to see pictures of them in front of the homes that he took us to. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
A true lifetime highlightM2236SDpaulp
Aug 24, 2026, 11:26:36 PM My family and I are all beyond music fans. Three of us are musicians, and I've had a career as a music writer and marketer. The Beatles have always been a reference point for me and my kids know a lot about them too. We visited Liverpool from the US almost exclusively to learn more about them. We decided on a private tour because we wanted a true local who could tell and show us something we didn't already know. It was one of the highlights of my life. Jay is a great storyteller and adapted himself well to our family. He wanted to know about us as much as he wanted to tell the Beatles' story. The tour took a little over 3 hours with not a wasted moment. It was humbling to finally see the places and scenes I've been hearing about my entire life. I couldn't imagine a better experience with a bigger group tour -- it really felt like we got the whole thing. Big recommendation for Beatles fans of all kinds. -- Paul P
Superb Liverpool tour with Thomas, that offered fantastic insightsCelia_W
Our 3-hour tour explored important Beatles sights that the larger coaches cannot access. We saw them all - Beatles’ childhood homes, Eleanor Rigby’s grave sight and others. Thomas, our guide, was a walking (driving!) encyclopedia. And he played our favorite Beatles songs all along the way, took pix for us, and couldn’t have been more accommodating. A 5-star rating, for sure. We will recommend him to all of our friends.
Exceptional Beatles Taxi TouredwardbT3573ZV
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!!🤩🤩

Jul 21, 2026, 12:48:35 AM 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.
Beatles tour plus, plus, plusRichard_M
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.
