This was such a great tour! Mike was so well versed in not only every aspect of Beatles history, but also incredible knowledge about Liverpool in general. Every person on the tour, from young to old, thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Great tour provided by Allen! Informative and interesting. He provided information about the Beatles and the city too! After the tour we joined him for a beer at a bar that use to be a small prison! It was enjoyable and he had a great sense of humor!

Tour was very good but didn't appreciate the guide naking constant disparaging remarks about the leader of my country
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the tour itself very good, but we are genuinely sorry that parts of the commentary made you feel uncomfortable. This is not the experience we want any guest to have, and we have taken your comments seriously with the guide concerned. We have also asked Viator to refund you. With best wishes.
This is an experience not to be missed if you have memories of The Beatles. Mike was an outstanding guide and narrator. Over two hours he took us on the most magical history tour of the Fab Four. It was simply THE BEST!

It is special in regard to anecdotes and historical facts about the Beatles not usually known but no inside visits.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the anecdotes and historical facts about the Beatles, especially the lesser-known stories that help bring Liverpool’s music history to life. Our tour is designed to focus on the key locations, stories, and background connected to the Beatles rather than inside visits, so we appreciate you noting that for future guests.

Wow, what a tour - we absolutely loved it! Our guide was Phil who was beyond brilliant - kind, caring, humorous, professional and very knowledgeable. We learnt so many facts & interesting snippets of information about The Beatles - cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Huge thank you to Phil! Your new friends from Norwich. PS we were doing our own driving tour along Penny Lane the day after our tour and actually think we saw you walking along the street! Small world.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you loved the tour and that Phil made such a brilliant impression with his kindness, humour, professionalism, and knowledge. It’s lovely to know you enjoyed all the Beatles facts and snippets along the way — and what a small world that you may have spotted Phil on Penny Lane the very next day… he does love this road! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him.

We saw all the Beatles spots and Paul provided the history of the spot. Small tour group and Paul insured everyone was involved and having a great time. Please do this tour, you will love it.

Thank you for this review. Mike will be so pleased with your comments. Best wishes Purple tours
I was skeptical of how much I would learn, since I am already a huge Beatles fan. But chance wold grant that no else signed up for my tour with Mike, who has literally written books about the Beatles, and knew every little detail, from the one building where Paul's father bought him a trumpet, to the other building across the street where Paul then exchanged it for a guitar, to where Ringo got his haircut after a list of former drummers much longer, I discovered, than Pete Best.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
So pleased you enjoyed your tour with Mike he is a great guide and we are lucky to have him on our team. He will be delighted with your comments. Best wishes Purple tours
The tour guide, Allan, was fantastic and knowledgeable. While the tour is a little over 2 hrs, the actual walking was only 30-45 minutes. The rest of the time was standing and listening to Allan tell us about the history of Liverpool and the Beatles.

Thank you for this lovely review. Tracey is a wonderful guide and we are so lucky she is part of our team. she will be so pleased with your comments. Best wishes Purple tours
A very informative history of the Beatles and the city of Liverpool. And how the Mersey beat came about. I learnt a lot more about their music and the dynamics of them coming together and evolving into the great band they became. Have always loved their music but now have an even greater appreciation of it. The guide, Simon, was obviously a Beatles tragic and also loves the city.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
So pleased you enjoyed your tour with simon and that it has enhanced your appreciation of this iconic band who were from this great city of Liverpool and changed the world in so many ways in just 7 years before they were gone. Simon will be delighted with your comments. Best wishes Purple tours
