Magical Liverpool Beatles Tour; Penny Lane, Strawberry Field etc
Description
Why take a shared Beatles or LIverpool tour in a coach when you can travel safely with your own Tour Guide who is great fun and who is also a Beatles expert. Unlike the coach tours you’ll get out at most stops including Penny Lane i’m outside John‘s and Paul‘s houses and you’ll visit Strawberry Field visitor centre & much more. You will learn how and why the city has changed in a lighthearted informative way and your guide will help you plan the rest of your day. We are Beatles experts & Ilike to mix up the legacy left by the fab4 with the maritime history and the impact of the new waterfront buildings and football stadium on the former World Heritage Site.

I must say a private cab tour is the best way to go if you want to visit many of the Beatles-related spots outside of city center. Our tour was excellent, guided by Dave, who was actually from A Hard Days Night Taxi Tour (Magical Liverpool Beatles Tour must have been overbooked that day). Dave was friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Above all, he was fun to talk with! Thank you for a wonderful time my husband and I had on Ringo’s birthday this year! Misa
This was a great tour with a lot of sites in a short period of time. Able to get off the bus and take a close looks at key locations. Del and Neil were fantastic tour guides, very knowledgeable and funny. Highly recommend for the price. Plan extra time for the free entrance to the cavern club. You don’t want to miss it.
Was the best day ever. To walk in the steps of the Beatles was an Ineffable joy!!! I would do this again and again and again. Marc was so informative. And I know alot about the Beatles. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!! Michelle
Thanks Michelle it was great fun to spend time with you and thanks for booking a zing tour - Marc
We enjoyed this Beatles history tour so much! Neil was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He’s great! As business travelers, it was the perfect way to slide in some efficient sightseeing at the end of our workday. I will be recommending to all my colleagues!
Thanks so much we had a great time didn’t we ! Please keep in touch Neil
Ian really made the locations and events come alive! Especially effective were the photos taken in the different sites showing what they looked like when the Beatles members lived there. Ian was full of stories and anecdotes that made the tour time go by in a flash. I was always a Beatles fan, but now I have an appreciation of John, Paul, George, and Ringo as young men forming the group that changed music.
Thanks so much I’ve passed this on to Ian who is delighted you had such a great time
Fabulous tour! I was not sure how much we would really want to see childhood homes of the Beatles, but we absolutely loved it. Our guide John was outstanding.
thank you John will be delighted that you thought to leave him such a nice review and we are delighted you had a great time with him and enjoyed Liverpool and your tour.
Ian had great information and passion for everything Beatles! I’m a long time fan and I learned an impressive amount of details that I had never heard. Very cool to see the neighborhoods that they grew up and met in. Highly recommend this tour for all!
Thanks so much Ian is amazing
Our family of 6 really enjoyed this tour in Liverpool. Claire , our guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the history and everything related to the Beatles. She has a wonderful personality and very warm. As much as we loved the Beatles music all this years we didn’t know a lot about them and their lives. She was so patient with us in filling all the blanks , and always smiling and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour and guide to learn about the Beatles and enjoy this beautiful city.
Thank you so much Claire will be delighted
Expected Dave in his V-Class Mercedes to give us the tour of the Beatles home town. A phone call from a woman said our tour was running late and they would be with us as soon as possible. A standard black cab was our vehicle for the day which was not at all comfortable and very hard to get up into and out of to see the sights. Dave's stand in was Clare. No explanation except Dave was otherwise engaged. Clare was very knowledgeable and gave us an extended tour with lots of information and background stories of the Fab Four. A great shame about the uncomfortable black cab substitute for the Mercedes. Had the package provided was what was promised we would have given 5 stars.
Our car was unexpectedly off the road that morning & then Dave got caught up in traffic so we were lucky to get Claire to cover it - I wish I’d cancelled it now and we will cancel future tours if we can’t fulfil them ourselves rather than rusk another 4 star review Thank you for the useful feedback to allow us to ensure we only deliver the tours as promised Glad you enjoyed it though - thanks again Neil
The whole tour was amazing, so interesting. Neil give us so much knowledge about the Beatles & the history of Liverpool.
