Beatles tour - Rob was outstanding and was a wealth of knowledge. He gave a lot of inside information about the lives of the Beatles. I learned a lot!! We managed to be one step ahead of the other groups, which made the experience more personal. All staff were very kind and helpful. I would go on this tour again if I have the chance to be back in Liverpool.

Join this trip and learn so much more about this mega-famous band. - Wow, what a great half-day Beatles Tour ! Jean, our guide is an absolute expert on every aspect of the history and personal stories of the Beatles. Having met at the Titanic Memorial we started the Tour at the 4 statues of the fab Four beside the 3 Graces. Extra details about the statues were revealed to us before embarking onto a luxury ,air-conditioned coach which took us to the homes of the Beatles where they grew up in South Liverpool. Jean enthusiastically regaled us with stories of their youth and we visited St Peters church hall where John and Paul first met at the age of 14 in 1957. Then visiting the grave of Eleanor Rigby and Strawberry Fields helped to bring all the words of the songs to life. It was good to have a lunch break here and visit the peace gardens. Throughout the tour Jean played their songs linked to many of the venues we visited. The Tour ended at Matthew street where the group had played hundreds of times . I would highly recommend this tour to all Beatles lovers. Jean was so friendly, enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable. I really got to know so much more about these famous scousers !

A Magical Mystery tour - A fantastic Beatles tour, the guide was really friendly and provided loads of fun and in-depth facts about both The Beatles and the history of Liverpool. All major spots were covered, from the childhood homes of all 4 members to the locations featured in the bands most famous hits, including Strawberry Fields, the grave of Eleanor Rigby and Penny Lane. Great day out, lots of fun, I would highly recommend it.
