Very special visit - This is a must for fans of The Beatles. To visit Lennnon and McCartney childhood homes was so informative The guides at the houses were so helpful and informative and entertaining. With little anecdotes that brought the homes to life. On our day it was Paula at Medips and Peter at Fortlyn Road. I have difficulty standing for any time but there were plenty of chairs to sit on. The mini bus driver was helpful too. Willing to help me in and out of the minibus. Highly recommended. As a National Trust member it is good to know that the Trust isn't just about grand houses.

Get Back … to where it all began! - We booked and attended the double tour of the Beatles childhood homes of John & Paul. The booking process was fairly simple - I can recommend getting the guide books included in advance as I didn’t see any on sale at the houses. We were picked up by Lee in a mini bus from Liverpool South Parkway and taken to John’s house first. We were shown round by John (not that one!) who was very personable and knowledgeable with lots of facts and stories about the home, the people that lived there and some events. Then we were taken to Paul’s house where Peter was the guide - again very knowledgeable and friendly with similar style of content. We were allowed to take photos outside but not inside. The tour part lasted about 25 mins and there was some time to wander freely - at both houses. The decor, atmosphere and smells of both were evident and as authentic as they can be after so many years, but a number of genuine items and furniture are still there. There are also some exhibits and photos which are very interesting and some unique to this experience. Some of the stories are quite moving and you get a real sense of the simplicity and naivety of their early lives. This makes it all the more remarkable that they went on to do what they did. A fascinating tour for the fanatical Beatles fan or indeed a casual fan or even a historian. Would definitely recommend. D & H

Amazing experience ***** - We visited Liverpool in April as my two sons are big Beatles fans . My youngest son turned 18 so this was a treat for him . I have to say the whole trip with Fab Four taxi tours was amazing. Robert our driver was so knowledgeable, polite , friendly, he went above & beyond to make my son’s birthday extra memorable. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and seeing where The Beatles grew up was outstanding . I would 100 % recommend Fab Four taxis to anyone it was well worth the money. Five stars *****

Liverpool Taxi Tours by Gareth - Gareth is an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. His commentary on the tours was excellent. He knows all the top locations and little hidden gems in Liverpool and area. Along with the Beatles Tour, Gareth guided me along in my Heritage Tour. I traveled from Vancouver, BC to explore my roots and was grateful to have been guided by Gareth. OI highly recommend Liverpool Taxi Tours.

A day in the life - Outstanding, an honour to be stood where they stood. The bus driver (Andrew) was brilliant from the start and the guides in the houses excellent especially John at Lennons old house. I didn’t particularly fancy that one looking forward to Paul’s old house but Johns knowledge and delivery made it the highlight. Recommended

Wonderful tour! - I can't say enough good things about this tour. Everything was great from our driver to both of our tour guides. They were fun and knowledgeable. As a life long Beatles fan, it was almost surreal to be in the homes I'd seen so many pictures of where some of my musical heroes grew up. Make sure you order your booklets up front when you book your tickets and be prepared to have a great time, see some music history, and learn a lot.

We loved it yea yea yea - After visiting Liverpool for the first time in November 2022, my Husband and I promised ourselves we would return. Despite being a little young to be around in the Beatles era, we both enjoy their music. Yesterday we visited the childhood homes of Paul McCartney and John Lennon which I booked through the National Trust website a couple of months ago. The minibus arrived on schedule at the pick up point and we boarded with around 11 other people. The driver was friendly and explained we would first visit Mendips..the former home of John Lennon. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and the house itself fantastic. After 40 minutes the minibus returned and drove the 5 minutes to Paul McCartney's childhood home . A second guide showed us the more modest house previously belonging to the McCartney's. Attention to detail was exceptional and both houses contained many 'original items' along with framed photographs. It is difficult not to be impressed with the knowledge of the guides and the only area we felt could be improved would be smaller group numbers and extended time in the houses. I'm sure visitors would pay an increased ticket price to accommodate these changes.
