don’t miss this tour when in Liverpool - I was on a 10 day London holiday but set aside a day for Liverpool just to do this tour, my mistake should have been two days, anyway it was nostalgic and very informative

Beatles - My husband & I took the Beatles walk tour on Sept 27,2019. We opt for the 1:30pm tour for we were coming from London.
Turned out it was just the two of us & our tour guide Doug on this rainy (off/on) afternoon.
Doug was wonderful. Very informative about Liverpool’s history. Landmarks and tidbits of info. Background info about the Beatles.
Took us to the cavern. Went w/us to John & Yoko exhibit plus other places included in the tour.
We felt as if we had our own private tour guide. Doug was wonderful as mentioned & did not try & rush things considering the weather was iffy & it was just the two of hours. Would recommend tour for anyone that wants a taste of Liverpool & too see the origins of where Beatlemania first took place.

Positively interesting - Interesting and pleasant walk. Our guide (Michael) was inexhaustible about the city and the story of the Fab' Four.
I ended up alone for The Beatles Story Tour and the City Tower but, that was OK with me.
