Good value. A great bus trip. Louis was brilliant and told the story about the Beatles really well. Was told more information about those who had connections with the group.He was really bubbly and friendly. Would definitely recommend it and would definitely do it again.

Beatles plus city tour

Donna_o, Sep 2026
Chris was an excellent tour guide. He no tot only had information but the tour interesting by different highlights

Excellent Tour

Gail_M, Sep 2026
Great way to introduce yourself to an unfamiliar city, and meet other travellers at the same time. Great driving and commentary - the songs on the guitar made it extra special! I would do this exact tour again.

Lovely walk down memory lane for me as I moved away from Liverpool 43 years ago

christine_t, Sep 2026
Wanted to do this for years, Chris the tour guide was very informative and funny, the driver Dave drove with care especially when he learnt that my husband was in pain, so hit the speed bumps very carefully, great job both of them

Great Beatles trip.

Susan_E, Aug 2026
Brilliant guide around Liverpool and key places connecting the Beatles. Very knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour and great fun singing along to Beatles songs. Would certainly take the tour again next year

Could have been fantastic….

Bonnie_B, Aug 2026
It could have been fantastic, however the speaker in the back top of the bus didn’t work and we heard very little of his commentary about the Beatles. Stops at Penny Lane and Stawberry Fields were good.

Fab bus tour!

Angela_M, Aug 2026
Really enjoyed the Beatles tour with Jimmy, he was hilarious all the way through but at the same time giving us interesting details about the Beatles. We did the whole tour first and then went back and did the hop on/hop off bit at different places of interest like the two cathedrals. Great value for money and took up the whole day!

Fabulous tour .. highly recommended

Very good tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide Tom and a very friendly driver Joe. They made sure everyone had their photos taken at all the stops.

Great guide, bouncy ride

Donna_S, Aug 2026
Damian, our live guide was better than a 5/5. Overall, bus in poorer condition and uncomfortable. You need new shocks!

Yesterday

Fergal_O, Jul 2026
Great job by Chole & joe (bus driver) ! Made it sound like this was there first week on the job full of enthusiasm!

Highly recommended Beatles and City tour

Wayne_A, Jul 2026
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!

If we could give 6 stars...

Bryan_P, Jul 2026
If we could give 6 stars we would! Tom and Joe were great!!! Tom is a fantastic tour guide with interesting and hilarious stories.

Alan_M, Jul 2026
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.

Disappointed

Gill_G, Jun 2026
Check the PA system is working. We had a disappointing tour as the microphone was not working properly.

Jimmy is a legend

Rebecca_A, Jun 2026
Jimmy the guide made it absolutely brilliant, so much fun and especially the singing! Lee the driver was great too. Watch out for the low hanging trees 😁

Fab

Cheryl_H, Jun 2026
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.

Great way to see a lot of different sights.

Ellen_C, Jun 2026
Alin was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot. He took lots of great pictures for us. Great fun
