Great job by Chole & joe (bus driver) ! Made it sound like this was there first week on the job full of enthusiasm!

Jen and Katy (driver) made the experience genuine and interesting. There was plenty of time to explore the various sights and we were able to leave the bus to take photos, that Jen, the tour guide kindly took for us. The tour included plenty of relevant Beatles tracks and was long enough to take everything in and left plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the city afterwards. Would 100% recommend!

Not only was this a great tour of Liverpool the guide Tommy was different class. He made the afternoon with wit,music, poetry and poignant commentary. I have told and will continue to tell my friends of the highlight of my five day holiday.

Really grear. Damien was the perfect friendly funny guy.
Ha sang Beatles songs, to both top and notyom of the bus. He got us all singing along and sang a special one for mt daughter.
He had loads of knowledge and showed points of interest along the way and the history behind songs and buildings. Took time to take photos of travellets at Penny Lane and Srawberry Fields.
Had an excellant journey and the 90 mins flew by. Definatly worth going on.

Joe & Jim were awesome tour guide and driver. We sang, almost danced and had the most wonderful day at Liverpool because of this tour. Awesome!
Keith_M, Apr 2026
All i can say is wow! We had a great time with our tour guide Tommy and driver Joe. Tommy was very knowledgeable and passionate about his home town and clearly loves his job. We got to see Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields as well as some of the Beatles family homes. We can totally recommend this tour and if you get this dream team, you are in for a great time

Mary_H, Apr 2026
This tour is a must for any music fan, not just Beatles fans. The tour guide - Julie - talked about the entire music scene and the influences from the Memphis music. Excellent tour!

The driver and host were great, the latter enthusiastic, entertaining, and knowledgeable. One problem is there were only two stops to picture-take and see up close: Abbey Road corner to take a photo of or with the street sign, and Strawberry Fields to walk to. All else just drive-bys, mostly "blink and you'll miss it" kinds, pointing out 3 of the Beatles' homes "down that street" or around that corner though you can't see it. But for the price, a nice little excursion that included some interesting tidbits.
The rough part for me was the RUDE and bullying ticket sales/authorizing woman. She was utterly mean, hateful, bullying, as she harassed and humiliated me. All because I waited on the wrong side of the building--a side two of the staffers pointed me to when I arrived an hour earlier. Approximately 50 minutes after I arrived, I heard this woman (wish I'd gotten her name) speaking with people on the opposite side of the building and realized it was where people were lining up. When I spoke with her, she just responded, "too bad," in a rude and hateful manner, and sent me to the end of the line. About 5 minutes later, just as we were boarding, a group of 5 pushed in front of me, saying they were with the woman ahead of me. The "ticket woman" saw them but said nothing. As we neared the bus and I tried to stand my ground, the huge man in the group of 5 line-cutters shoved me--yes, SHOVED me--to the side and got in.
When I finally boarded, I told the ticket woman she was rude. I did not curse or call her a name. I just said, "you're very rude." She then followed me onto the bus, stopped me and barked, "Stand right there while the driver and I decide if we should let you board." She proceeded to yell and berate me; she asked the other bus riders if she was rude. No one answered, though people may have shook their heads as I was too embarrassed to look. She then "brought me" over to the bus driver to ask if she wanted me on her bus. The driver was actually very kind and seemed embarrassed, herself, that the ticket woman was behaving the way she was. On the trip, itself, she kept checking with me to see how I was doing (I was fighting tears the entire time), and as I left, she apologized to me for what had happened.
