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.

    There is a lot of information which is great but there was too much standing around. There should be head phones so the tour guide can talk as we walk. The heat was very bad the day of our tour and that added to the discomfort of standing , often in the sun

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review and comments for our tour. We are sorry that high heat meant it was a comfortable tour for you and have taken on board all of your comments. If you can contact us directly so we can refund your tickets as unfortunately we cannot find your booking from the review information. With kind regards Purple Tours-Liverpool Famous Walking Tours

    Adequate, not exceptional

    John_M, Jun 2026
    Terry is okay but not particularly talkative, while walking he needs to describe more. Also, he really needs to use electronics (earbuds microphone ) to hear him more clearly). He knows the basics about the Beatles but does not seem to be a specialist/fan of the Beatles. Someone has taught him what to say but he’s not an enthusiast.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review and comments for our tour. We are very disappointed that the tour fell below the experience that we work as a team to proudly deliver for all our guests. As you can see from our reviews that this is an absolute exception and we will review in detail your specific comments. We have sent you a full refund and if you are ever back in Liverpool please do contact us and we would love you to join our Beatles tour with our compliments.

    It was a little tricky to find the start point, Google Maps takes you to the wrong side of the building but…they’ll come looking there :) There’s a snack bar and bathroom before you start.
