This is a great tour of the Beatles' homes and early history. George Harrison's home is not accessible, per neighbor disputes.

First - the van was very comfortable with a table between facing seats. The driver, Rob, was excellent especially getting into narrow streets to show us all the sights.
Second - our guide, Phil, was knowledgeable, funny, understanding, and made the whole experience extra special.
Third - I learned so much about The Beatles before they were known; how they developed; how they actually got together; and where many of their inspirations were found. Seeing where their childhood homes were; their play areas, schools, churches, the streets where they came from and the promoter who promised he would make them bigger than Elvis Presley. We had opportunities to see some of the places close up by getting out of the van and that included Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, and Eleanor Rigby’s gravesite. So much information but it didn’t overwhelm us because Phil is an excellent guide and made the whole excursion lively and informative. If I get back to Liverpool and I’m traveling with someone instead of just myself, I would sign up again for this trip. It was that good! Take it from an 80 year old traveling solo.
Response from Host, May 2026
This is a fantastic review thank you. Phil will be delighted you enjoyed the tour so much. He is a great guide and we are so lucky to have him on our team. Best wishes LFWT-PurpleTours

This tour exceeded all my expectations. Let me start off by saying that this is a small group tour. My husband and I were the only ones to book the trip and they didn’t cancel! We in essence had a private tour. That is a stand up organization! Secondly, our tour guide Simon was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable of the Beatles as well as Liverpool history. He was easy to listen too, engaging and very interesting. We saw so many places, the house that each Beatle lived in, Strawberry Field, Penny Lane, graveyard where the Eleanor Rigby tomb stone is, but the icing on the cake was when we actually went into the church hall where John and Paul met. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour, Simon our guide and the driver (wish I could remember his name)!!

What an amazing tour! We visited all of the must see Beatles’ sights in Liverpool & then some. Our tour guide, Robert, was extremely knowledgeable & worked hard to accommodate our group of 12. He shared lots of history regarding Liverpool. We travelled around the city in a comfortable, small bus. I highly recommend.

Phil was an amazing tour guide and he took us to all the Beatles homes where they were born and then where they met to perform and then to the street where they really broke out (The Cavern). Phil knew everything you wanted to know about the Beatles and he was very funny. Definitely recommend him!

This tour was a really good decision. We stopped at everything that I was hoping to see and I was able to get pictures. The other tour buses I saw just slowly drove past several of the places. It was worth paying the extra money. Both the driver, Mike, and the tour guide, Paul were very nice. Paul was very knowledgeable and had many stories about all of the Beatles as they were growing up. It was a very enjoyable day!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
So glad you enjoyed your time with Paul he is a great guide, passionate and loves sharing his knowledge and passion for the Fab Four. He will be delighted with your comments. Best wishes LFWT-PurpleTours
Lea_L, Jul 2025
This tour was a great one! The van was super comfy and Mike, our tour guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to see all four of the Beatles childhood homes as well as the church where Paul and John met. We got to spend time at Strawberry Field and thanks to Mike pointing him out, we were able to meet Colin Hanton, the original drummer for the Quarrymen which ultimately turned into the Beatles. He was super friendly and took time to speak with my whole family and take pictures with all of us. The group was a little hard to find getting off the ship, but once we knew to look for the purple shirts, it was much easier. Would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for this lovely review. Sorry you had a little trouble finding us. Hopefully when we get our new terminal in a few years this will not be a problem. Glad you found Mike and were able to enjoy his tour. He is an amazing guide and we are so lucky he is part of our team. Colin Hanton is a great guy and is indeed very friendly and ready to speak to our guests. Mike will be delighted with your comments. Best wishes LFWT-PurpleTours
