This tour made me so happy. Revisiting the Beatles events of the early years to present times was so enjoyable. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and shared such interesting stories with us. Made me realize how lucky a whole generation was to have those four guys in our world. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone whoever listened to a Beatles song!
So very interesting! Spenser was just so knowledgeable! My husband I had such the best time! A must for the Beatles lovers
Lots of walking but well worth it. Go to the Abbey Road gift shop after the tour. You can retrieve your Abbey road crossing from online.
So informative and we got Spencer who normally trains the guides. He was in a band called “Me and Them” and knows the Beatles very well. His band performed in Germany l, along with the Beatles, the same time they were starting out.
Catherine was very fun to listen to- super knowledgeable and just the right length! Recommend bringing water and maybe a snack.
Absolutely the most boring and senseless Beatles tour on the face of this earth. Lots of walking around to waste time til the one stop tube ride to Abbey road. Save your time and money and just go there and Google the Beatles and you've done a better job.
This was the worst tour I’ve ever been on in my life. Our tour guide, Spencer was a disaster. He talked too much, mostly about himself and when he did get to the Beatles, he made up stories to include himself. For example, he told of how he helped Paul write “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. John wrote that song. He also said he played guitar on “Those Were the Days” (nope) and that he was sitting next to Paul as he wrote the word “Nah” over and over on a napkin - the coda to “Hey Jude”. He also said he was with Jimi Hendrix the night he died. When he wasn’t making up outrageous falsehoods, he was talking about himself. And it took up so much time, almost 4 hours. I didn’t want to challenge him because the other guests were having a good time. I also wanted to make sure I got to the Abbey Road section at the end of the tour. To top everything off, at the end, Spencer sold a book he wrote to the unsuspecting tourists - more lies? That certainly took a lot of gall. Don’t go on this tour, it was really unpleasant.
The tour itself was enjoyable, and the guide did a great job. However, the walking portion was much longer than expected. The most disappointing aspect was that, after paying for the tour, we were required to pay an additional fee for the underground ride. It wasn’t the extra cost that bothered us, it was the lack of transparency, as this was not disclosed in advance.
Another issue was that several participants continually pushed their way to the front of the group, making it difficult for others to interact with the guide or ask questions. This detracted from the overall experience and made the tour less enjoyable for everyone else.
There is a lot of walking with excellent commentary about the Beatles in London in Marylebone. This walking tour includes a ride on a city bus to get to T. John’s Wood for the end of the tour to see the neighborhood of Paul McCartney. Spencer is a good guide.
Spencer brought a personal level of Beatles history to our experience. Simply amazing guide and tour.
Where the Beatles were in London written by someone with real experience of the time and place very interesting
This tour had great potential but our guide felt less than enthusiastic. He forgot info multiple times and relied on the group members to fill in the blanks. He also provided incorrect info once and had to be corrected by a group member. He didn’t offer to take any photos of people crossing Abbey road and just kind of took off after giving us the details. Compared to another tour we took, the guide was just not as full of knowledge as we would’ve expected. Also there was no offers to stop for water or bathroom breaks and it was in the 90s that day.
A LOT of walking, so make sure you are up for that. Great wee day out though! We saw some fab Beatles spots as well as some other famous sights. We even managed to be standing at the Marylebone town hall just as Dua Lipa got married, we saw her come outside with her new husband Callum Turner, get covered in confetti and then jump into a black cab! Deffo in the right place at the right time!
Very informative with great stops. I thought the guide was very nice but he did walk at a fast pace so if you were in the back you missed a bit of the commentary. Also would be nice to have an official bathroom break.
Very knowledgeable tour guide with lots of fun and unknown facts to average person. I loved the merchandise at the Beatles Store and the Abbey Road gift shop. And the Abbey Road crossing was my favorite for the iconic photo.
A lot of walking!!! You have to be ready for a busy couple of hours. Our guide took us on a bus (which we had to pay for without advanced knowledge) and he left is without transportation back!
A great deal of walking at a rather fast pace. A large amount of trivia presented, some of it a bit boring. 2 1/2 hours of fast walking without any consideration given for a rest or bathroom break. Tour guide was very pleasant, as well as very knowledgeable and eager to give as much information as he could.
Stop and walk. It was a tolerable distance. Tour guide had great knowledge of the Beatles and related info of the city and music.
There’s a fee for bus ride during this tour. Rob was amazing during our tour. He explained everything g and took his time even though it was raining.
The tour was great to a point. Our main plan was to see Abbey Road but my wife took I’ll halfway through the tour so we had to leave early and missed out on Abbey Rosd - but the rest was great..
There's a lot of walking. If you are a slow walker as I am due to using walking poles it was difficult to keep up with the guide. We feel behind several times which made it unpleasant.
There is a lot of walking, and you get to ride the tube , guide was pretty well informed, we did see Paul’s house
We had a good time. We saw several sites, learned Beatles pop culture, and saw the Abbey Road studio.
Pretty choppy. A lot of walking in silence between points of interest. Some locations with very minimal Beatles references. Tour guide not able to answer non Beatles related neighborhood questions. Definitely had a specific, narrow knowledge base.
Great guide, Charlie was fantastic. More walking than expected but all level. Photos at abbey road were challenging.
Very interesting stories that I had not heard before. Michael, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared rock and roll related stories as well as the Beatles. Be prepared to stand for some time at each stop as the stories are told. I enjoyed this but others may struggle with the standing.
Was fantastic walking tour with the guide providing great insight regarding the Beatles……guide was always answering questions
Interesting information. Meg a wonderful couple on the tour which made it more fun. The guide had interesting stories.
Spent the day exploring the Beatles sites with my coworkers and families. Weather was not great but we had a good time. Thanks to Tim
If you are a Beatles fan, you will enjoy it! Tim was a good guide. We saw a lot with a group of 22 ppl.
