Had a fabulous time on this Beatles Tour Bus. Tommy was very knowledgeable and so entertaining the whole trip and Joe was our driver. If you are doing any bus tour do not miss this one it made our day.

Best day of our trip

Anthony_O, Oct 2025
Tommy and Joe are brilliant, singing beatles songs, telling us snippets about the fab four & local stories that only Scousers would know. This tour is a MUST DO in Liverpool

Beatles tour

Hannah_C, Sep 2025
Very rushed and unorganized, unable to take proper pictures, narration was very garbled, he catered more to the upstairs crowd, music very loud, very disappointing,

Cute

Maureen_A, Sep 2025
Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable about Beatles. He sang and played guitar on board the bus. But there isn’t much to see on the trip.

Damo& Joe are amazing

Janie_M, Sep 2025
This was probably the best tour ever because of our tour guide Dani and our driver Joe! Dani was so informative and entertaining. He not only told us so much info on the Beatles and other things but he also played the guitar and sang some of the songs. He was so funny and when we stopped to take pictures bothering he and Joe took pictures of us for us. Loved them both along with this tour. Very worth the price.

Exccrptional!

Irene_F, Sep 2025
Fabulous tour, driver and guide was very informative and entertaining. He sure knew his Beatles history!

Great tour for City & Beatles combo

Sandra_K, Sep 2025
Excellent tour, city & Beatles info. Tour Guide Chris was the best! Knowledgeable and plays a mean ukulele.

Highly recommended

Clive_R, Sep 2025
First class. Tour guide Chris very knowledgeable on both Liverpool history and Beatles history. Very comfortable ride, careful bus driver Brian.

It was a bit cold up top....

Greg_a, Sep 2025
It was a bit cold up top. There was a great tour guide and it was very interesting and interactive. I felt like it was worth the money and I would recommend this particular trip to others.

Worth it!

Marianne_D, Sep 2025
The bus was on time. Both the driver and the guide were super friendly and funny. The tour was informative and great for Beatles fans. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The tour was charming,...

Mark_G, Sep 2025
The tour was charming, lots of facts and interesting stories about each Beatle. The driver was excellent and our guide was so kind with genuine enthusiasm for all things Beatles!! This made it a very special time. Also he sang Ain’t She Sweet on the Ukulele.

Take this tour, better than cruise ship tour

Kathleen_M, Aug 2025
Awesome tour guides Tom and Dan Very informative, fun 90 minutes, saw all the important sites in Liverpool. History of the Beatles. Guide from Liverpool

Engaging and entertaining excursion for Beatles fans

Heather_S, Aug 2025
This was a really good time! This was not a hop-on-hop-off bus in the traditional sense, as I had originally thought. It was bus tour where participants had frequent opportunities to get off the bus for photo ops. The guide did a great job of keeping things interesting and relevant, and engaged both riders on the top deck as well as the lower deck. This activity was particularly enjoyable after my husband and I had done a walking tour of the downtown area, whereas this tour went a bit further afield. Fun time for Beatles fans!

The bus was sooooo hot....

Shannon_W, Jul 2025
The bus was sooooo hot. In fairness, it was a recording breaking heat wave, but we were incredibly uncomfortable. The tour guide was very informative and we learned a lot about the Beatles and some of the history of their songs. The stops seemed a bit lack luster. I think it would have been more enjoyable if it wasn’t so hot.

Awesome Tour

Phillip_A, Jul 2025
This tour was absolutely awesome. The itinerary was great with photo stops at Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and Paul McCartney’s childhood home. Our tour guide Jimmy was great….the best!

Brilliant tour, well worth doing

June_R, Jun 2025

Music Man History Lesson

Cynthia_S, Jun 2025
Sara was very friendly and informative. The guide on the bus was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the Liverpool and the Beatles and their songs. Damon made it fun by using songs to explain the creation of the Beatles songs. Very good!

Magical Tour

Tobias_M, Jun 2025
Magical tour! Damion tour guide and driver Ryan were fab. Great stories. Great music. And even a Damion live performance. What’s not to love. Massively recommend.

Clearly they weren't...

RileyUSMC05, May 2025
Clearly they weren't expecting the crowd they ended up getting for the hop-on-hop-off from our cruise. It was chaotic and very disorganized. That being said, we were on the Beatles tour and had a great guide! I feel we got to see all we wanted to and plenty of time for pictures. Unfortunately, there wad not much time for us to do anything other than this tour with the time restrictions we had. I'd do it again especially if we had more time!

Great Experience

Leigh_H, May 2025
Definitely would recommend. Angela was great and made it really fun. Very knowledgeable about the Beatles.

Great Tour!
