Itinerary
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.

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 🤩

Jenna was fabulous! She took us on a well comprehensive and fun Beatles journey all around Liverpool. She was knowledgeable and full of a lot of information about the Beatles and Liverpool. You could tell she really loves what she does! Very energized and full of life as we climbed up and down stairs, all around Liverpool. She knew where the best bathrooms which was nice to know! Her attention to detail and making sure we got to see everything made an impact on our day! Wonderful tour guide and very informative tour! Thanks Jenna!
Thanks for your review! I do love this, it isn't like a job at all. Very much enjoyed meeting you as much as you enjoyed Liverpool. Happy travels and thanks for the mention.
Jenna was an amazing guide for our Beatles tour. She went above and beyond to make our experience the best. We were a group of 16 friends and Jenna made us feel like family when we parted. We would all recommend Jenna for a Liverpool tour!
I loved showing your group Liverpool and arranging for you to get out Strawberry Field and Penny Lane. I hope you take some great memories home. Thank you for taking the time to write a review! Happy Travels 😎
This tour was so informative! Roger our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his city, Liverpool, and very knowledgeable about the history of the Beatles. Roger's enthusiasm made the city come alive. I would return to Liverpool and ask To other to be my personal guide, again and again!
We're so proud of Roger as a guide and Beatles aficionado! Seeing him channel his knowledge and enthusiasm so that visitors such as yourselves get an authentic deep dive into local life and history is what we are all about. Thank you so very very much for taking the time to share your experience, we are genuinely grateful for every review. Here's to your continued happy travels, yours The Great Guides Team.
V pleased my friend booked this tour for our group during visit to Liverpool for the football. Guide was super knowledgeable, it blew me away and made Beatles early days come to life - plus how the city has changed over the decades and its history is intertwined with the band. Very clever. Fun. Even emotional at times. 100% worth it whether fan of Beatles or not!
Hello and thank you for taking the time to review us 🙏 We love how the city surprises visitors and the story of the Beatles really is a phenomena that amazes us all too - even to this day! The Guides love bringing it to life for our guests. Thanks again for the review.
Jenna was our guide and she was so knowledgeable on the history of Liverpool, and of course the Beatles. We went for a Beatles experience and she weaved the important history of her hometown into an awesome walking tour. Jenna was personable and engaging and made our trip so enjoyable. Would highly recommend this walking tour to visitors of Liverpool. It is packed with facts and historical stops on the tour. An incredible experience with our guide Jenna! And The Beatles Maniac in our group just loved it!!
I am so pleased you enjoyed your time in Liverpool! I hope you can come back soon 🙏 We're so fortunate here to have so much culture and history to share with you. Thanks again, we really appreciate every review received.
