Travel beyond the city centre to discover the parks and leafy suburbs where many of the key Beatles locations are found, giving you a fuller picture of their early lives. Visit Strawberry Field to see the famous red gates that inspired John Lennon. Led by a local Beatles expert, this tour provides deeper insight, expert storytelling and a flexible pace tailored to you. Comfort stops are included along the way, with opportunities to purchase souvenirs at key locations.

Memorable morning

James went above and beyond to provide a very personalized journey through the Beatles' neighborhood and story. He took extra precautions to avoid the large crowds that other tours endured. If you're looking for a small-group experience with a knowledgeable guide, this is the tour for you!

Operator response

James is the best!

Awful

The flower car that goes around Sefton park caused a jam and wouldn’t move when asked also brake lights not working the driver completely ignored us we had to ask numerous times for him to move . Really ignorant this was today may 1st approx 12.30pm

Operator response

Until trip advisor remove this review which was not on our tour we will not sell any further tours on Viator / trip advisor platform. We have correctly reported this using the “posted on the wrong site” process & escalated it via Viator who refuse to refer if to a manager & have washed their hand of it saying “Viator has no control over wrong reviews and that’s up to trip advisor” It’s not good enough - the Rolls Royce flower car is always breaking down - that is NOT our tour We had no tour on the date stated by the person who wrongly submitted the review We have never had a tour help up behind a broken down car It’s a ridiculous crank who’s submitted a 1 star awful review whoever’s tour this should be posted against as these things happen But we work extremely hard in tough post covid times & im sick of a stupid “never remove reviews policy” So all our tours are now suspended & I won’t operate another on this platform until this is removed I’m fuming - Neil McDonald

don’t miss this tour when in Liverpool

I was on a 10 day London holiday but set aside a day for Liverpool just to do this tour, my mistake should have been two days, anyway it was nostalgic and very informative

2 or three days in Liverpool really is a great idea or even longer with guided Beatles Tours & private tours to North Wales & another day to the Lake District - we have lots of ideas on our website and on sake on trip advisor thank you for a lovely review
