Tour Guide Roy - it’s a MUST! - What a tour! We loved it! Roy (our tour guide) was amazing! I loved how he pointed out buildings and statues that I’ve never noticed before and the facts he gave us about the Beatles and the Beatles statue at the waterfront…I will never forget! The time flew by. Roy used his love of his city to really bring to life the tour - we would definitely do it again!!

Excellent guide, a nice walkabout in Liverpool. Not so much about the Beatles though. - Our guide was an absolutely charming fellow and took us through the sites, explained everything with good humor and answered all the questions. But .. (there is always a but), the tour was supposed to be somehow about the beatles, or so I thought at least, or at least mainly about the beatles .. but it wasn't. there was simply a short discussion around the beatles statues and that's it. Maybe you should change the name or the tour to something more general so it will not mislead.
