Lots of good info. Weather wasn’t great but didn’t matter. Small group was good for personal content
Mike was a great guide. We learned so many things that we didn’t know about the Beatles. Would do it again.

In response WOW what a review. Phil is a fantastic guide and he will be so pleased with your comment. We are delighted with your feed back thank you for taking the time to tell us how much you enjoyed the tour. Best wishes
Just absolutely fantastic and way above our expectations. The Guide was extremely informative and passionate about both the Beatles and Liverpool itself. Nothing was too much trouble - either in answering questions and going the extra mile (almost literally). In some ways the tour was too short for us but we had other things to do in Liverpool

Michael was such a great and thorough tour guide! You could really tell that he loves what he does and he loves the Beatles. He shared so many stories and I really appreciated the old photographs he would hold up as he talked about the sites we were standing in front of. It really gave a great connection to the past and present. We saw so many things and our group was a decent size- we did have a few that seemed to struggle a tad with the walking- there are some hills and it’s a generally faster paced walk, so even if you are pretty able bodied you need to have that extra pep to keep up. Keep that in mind. Honestly we wanted to buy Michael lunch just to keep him going on telling us fun stories about the Beatles.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
This is a lovely review thank you. Mike is a great guide and we are so lucky he is part of our team. He will be so pleased with your comments. Best wishes LFWT-PurpleTours
Very interesting tour especially if you're a Beatle's fan, as I am. Carl was an excellent guide! Would do the same tour again if I'm ever back in Liverpool.

Our tour on September 5th with Paul K. was everything we wanted in a Liverpool walking tour. Paul was extremely knowledgeable in Beatles history and just as knowledgeable in Liverpool history. We were amazed to learn about facts we never knew! We considered this 2 tours in one! Paul was eager to share his knowledge and he was a joy to be with !!! Very highly recommend this fabulous tour guide ‼️🎶🚢
