A great introduction to a wonderful city

Lucy_B, Jun 2021
Helen was a brilliant guide. Really knowledgeable, helpful and clearly has great passion for her city. Even our teens (14 & 15) thought it was a great tour. Helen covered all the highlights and included some really interesting anecdotes. Helen’s tour commentary was pitched perfectly and was the right length to hold everyone’s attention. We learnt so much and we would definitely recommend this tour.

Michael_G, Jan 2020
Great tour. Rob was a wealth of knowledge about both Liverpool and the Beatles. Highly recommend it, worth every cent!

Knowledgeable and friendly guide

Marina Arantes T, Nov 2019
This is a group tour, but I was lucky to be the only traveller that day, so ended up having a private tour, which allowed me to learn and see even more of lovely Liverpool. Patrick, my guide, was extremely fun and knows so much about the history of his hometown. He also knows a lot about the Beatles and you can see how much he is passionate about everything related to them. I highly recommend this tour!

Well, not exactly

Jared Z, Oct 2019
The tour was adequate but far from great. We learned a fair amount about the history of Liverpool and the Beatles. And we saw most of the key sites -- Mathew Street and the Cavern Club in particular. However, the guide had a lot more to say than to show. So we spent an inordinate amount of time standing and listening vs walking and seeing. About 30 minutes was spent walking through a temporary exhibit at the Museum of Liverpool on John and Yoko. I wondered how he spends that time when the exhibit ends (next month). He was nice and knowledgeable on the history of Liverpool and the Beatles. Although he was obviously a bit of a "cheer leader" for both, and as seems to be the trend these days, traded on some "fake news." For example - Sgt Peppers may be the greatest, most important rock album of all time (a matter of opinion), but it is NOT the greatest SELLING album of all time (a matter of fact), which our guide would have you believe. We were glad we went, but versus other walking tours we've taken in the UK and elsewhere, this one was below average.

Great wander around Liverpool, even in the rain

Ciara G, Oct 2019
Really enjoyed the tour, our guide was very informative and very nice, particularly enjoyed the John and Yoko exhibition in the Liverpool museum, great to visit the cavern club also. Would definitely recommend this tour

Fab 4

JOHN_S, Sep 2019
We had a wonderful guide who walked us through the double fantasy exhibition at the museum and got us to the Cavern!

A great afternoon

Kathryn_B, Sep 2019
This was an excellent tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. Patrick our guide struck the right balance of being informative & humorous. i can recommend to others unreservedly.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Brilliant thanks so much I’ll pass my thanks on to Patrick

Enjoyable tour!

Hanna_H, Sep 2019
Our guide was Patrick who was so enjoyable to be with and is very knowledgeable about the Beatles and Liverpool City itself

A Blast !

GrandTour278709, Sep 2019
Guide Rob Downs knew it all ! Beatles humble beginings, John Lennon expo, Mathew St, THE CAVERN ! Great take !

Very informative

Nathan_B, Aug 2019
We had a great guide who took the time to explain in great detail each stop along the tour. It was great to see the John & Yoko exhibition at the museum, but it would've been good to spend a bit longer there.

museum

Francesca G, Aug 2019
The tour was really good but I wish I had spent more time at the museum. 10 minutes is really too little

A walk with Doug

Guide676926, Aug 2019

Beatles Liverpool walking tour

Sarah_O, Jul 2019
Our guide Sarah was fantastic. She had non stop information along the tour with loads of new and intriguing tidbits that made you want to hear more. Very comprehensive for a quick 90 minute tour.

Outstanding Tour Guide and City Orientation

Marianne_R, Jul 2019
Rob is a genuine Beatles fan and has an incredible wealth of knowledge about them. He shared lots of relevant information and interesting background. Rob engaged with everyone in our group and was always happy to answer questions. He ensured everyone could hear him as we walked the busy streets. We sincerely appreciated having Rob as our guide!

NOT TO BE MISSED

simon_b, Jun 2019
Great tour, very informative not only with regard to the history of the Beatles but also an informative tour of the main sites in Liverpool. Done with humour and extensive knowledge, if you want to combine a tour embracing the Beatles history and also a bit of culture and local knowledge there cannot be any better tour than this.

Response from Host, Jun 2019

thanks ever so much we are delighted that you had such a great time..

Beatles with Patrick

Yvonne_N, Jun 2019
We took this tour the day of the fan celebration for Liverpool's big Cup victory in Madrid. Patrick was a touch late, because he had to sub in for a "sick" co-worker. But the startup angst was soon forgotten as the tour got underway. Patrick provided lots of information and plenty of humour. Terrific tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Thank you so much for your understanding about the few minutes delay and we are thrilled that you had a great time with Patrick and I know that he will. be delighted with your review.. thanks again
