Highly Highly Recommend - Paul Killen was an amazing guide. A retired Math Professor and passionate local who has lived in Liverpool his whole life. He went over and above the tour, showing us historic buildings along the way. It was a fantastic tour. Highly highly recommend.

Mike Haskins is Amazing! - The tour guide, Mike Haskins, was absolutely amazing. He was a walking encyclopedia of Beatles history knowledge. He was also a published author and an amazing storyteller. I cannot remember the last time that I had such an enjoyable and engaging tour. I would put this tour on the "Don't miss" list for Liverpool - especially if you get Mike as your tour guide. This tour alone made my visit to Liverpool special.

The Beatles - Lots of details that we currently don’t know. Very interesting. Our guide was very keen in explaining and providing details on the Bestle story. Which is not something that we usually have as information . Thank you to Mike for hi detailed input on the subject.

Absolutely worth it! Our host Paul was incredibly knowledgeable of Beatles history. - This was an absolutely wonderful walking tour and our host “Paul” was knowledgeable not only about the Beatles history, but obviously of the historical points of reference in Liverpool. I’m not a huge guided tour person, but this one I found to be well worth it and informative and at a comfortable pace. Paul also made it personable as my husband is an architect and pointed out several architectural gems.

When in Liverpool… - Simon was a count of information and practical aspects of the Quarrymen’s rise to international fame and fortune. We enjoyed the tour immensely. Walking is the way to do this - cannot imagine having the same experience by taxi or limo. Highly recommend.

A great tour, highly recommended. - An excellent and informative tour. The guide was both very knowledgeable and very sociable. His interaction with the group was very welcoming and inclusive. We had two in our party with mobility issues and using wheelchairs and he was very conscious of looking after their well being. Highly recommended.
