About

Return to the Swinging Sixties on our 3 hour Beatles Tour of Liverpool – the original and most popular of our Beatles tours. What better way to learn about four fab lads from Liverpool than by hopping into your own private taxi, driven by a native Liverpudlian?

The Beatles took inspiration from their home city of Liverpool when writing many of their world famous songs, so let our expert guides drive you to the very places that inspired these much loved songs and lyrics.

The 3 hour Beatles Tour of Liverpool includes the same locations from the 2 hour tour including the childhood homes of John, Paul, George and Ringo, Penny Lane, Strawberry Field, where John and Paul first met plus the location where John sang in a church choir. You’ll be able to stand outside all four of the Beatles homes as part of the tour. Find out just how big Beatles Mania was and how it affected the families of the Fab Four.

Itinerary

• The childhood homes of John, Paul, George and Ringo: Hear about the Beatles’ families and find out why John and Paul used to practice in the porch! Discover which songs were written in Paul’s front room. Find out how why jelly babies were delivered to George’s house for his birthday. Photograph the sentimental pub just around the corner from Ringo’s home and school.

• Penny Lane: See the famous street that its in our ears and in our heart and which helped coin the 1967 hit. You’ll be able to see ‘a barber showing photographs’, the ‘shelter in the middle of the roundabout’ and find an old bank for a banker with a motorcar!

• Strawberry Field: The inspiration for John Lennon’s 1967 hit. Have your photograph taken by the famous red gates to Strawberry Fields and find out why John loved it so much.

• Where John met Paul: Considered to be the most important meeting point in music history. You’ll go to where John Lennon met a 15 year old Paul McCartney for the first time in 1957.

• Eleanor Rigby tomb stone: In the same place where John was a choir boy you will also be able to see the real life tombstone that possibly influenced the famous 1966 song.
