Unforgettable Hospitality and History

Greetings of Goodness! Peter is an outstanding storyteller offering glorious historical insight into London’s music chronology and more! Peter’s active listening and presence throughout our time with him ensured that our tour was relevant and responsive to the curiosities of all my family members. Every step of the way we were engaged by the physical spaces, and offered personal connections to ensure our new knowledge connected to our lived experiences. Peter offered us access to a curated list of expanded resources that will ensure our learning continues to flourish beyond our time with him. Thank you Peter for sharing your research and passion! Your expertise and care will continue to bloom in the year ahead. We are grateful for our time together and look forward to our next London adventure! Peace and blessings and good vibrations everyday!

Best London Rock/Beatles Tour!

Holy cow!!! Peter is phenomenal! If there is a fact about the Beatles (or London rock music as a whole) Peter not only knows it but has the evidence to back it up! We learned things, saw things, photographed places all over London. He knows the big details and the little details. He is your family photographer the whole time. We ended up with so many special family photos at the most iconic of places. But, he has sent me so many videos and stories about all the places we visited. It is going to take me weeks to watch all the videos and I can't wait! Plus, he showed us where to get the best coffee in Soho! If you are on the fence, just do it. He drives and walks so you can see so much more of the city.

Fantastic London Beatles Tour

We had a fantastic day with Peter. We went for the ultimate Beatles full day tour and learned an incredible amount not only about the Beatles but also all the other musicians impacted by them. This tour included so many spots in London that would likely go unnoticed by most visitors even though they had a significant impact on the music industry and so many artists. Peter is extremely knowledgeable, is ready at every step to document each site with photographs for you and provides in depth information so you can learn more later. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does which makes the experience that much better. Highly recommend

Wonderful tour of Beatle history in London with photo stops and in depth stories told by a very knowledgeable guide.

Our group of three American Beatles fans wanted to take a tour of London sights that included the Abbey Road studios and famous album cover crosswalk. We are so delighted to have been able to arrange a private cab tour with Peter. One of our group has need of a wheelchair and Peter was able to accommodate us comfortably and was so helpful getting us out and about for photo opps and to show us wonderful historic sites related to the Beatles and other important music figures from the time including the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and many others who had a hand in the story and evolution of the Beatles. Peter, our guide, even had a personal connection to Pete Best and offered a very interesting story of how his mother won a bet on a horse that made a difference in the lives of the future Beatles. Peter is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the London music scene generally. I highly recommend his tour to those who are interested as we were in the places and history of the Beatles in London. We walked about an hour or so of the tour, got out of the cab for photos a number of times and viewed quite a bit from the cab as well. Peter was great at taking photos for us as well.

Family Fun on the Beatles Tour

We had a lovely tour led by Peter and team. We went beyond just Beatles and learned the history of music in London with stops including Abbey Road, SoHo, and much, much more. Peter took our questions and interests and tailor-made a tour that engaged folks from ages 13-62. Would HIGHLY recommend early on your trip to London as you learn so much history about the city.

A terrific Beatles tour

Just completed a Beatles tour with Peter Mulcahy and highly recommend him. His knowledge about the Beatles was so impressive that it went way beyond our expectations and he not only shares his knowledge of the Beatles but you also learn about so many other famous rock and roll musicians and how they were connected. His facts are very detailed and the amount of stops made on the tour were all so interesting. We left with a much greater appreciation for what the Beatles did for all of London’s rock and roll scene. His cab was clean and comfortable and he was a lot of fun to spend time with. Thank you Peter!

Energetic Beatles and history tour with Peter!

Peter offered up a jam-packed tour for us, centered around The Beatles, but wove in all sorts of local and global history. Super funny guy with a big personality. Would love to grab a few beers with him and keep the conversations going!
