The coach eases away from central Liverpool, Beatles tracks rising from the speakers as the city’s brick facades and dockland chimneys slide past. Passengers lean toward windows as the guide traces a line through neighborhoods where teenage bands practised in parlors and narrow streets became lyrics. The tour delivers a clear, up-close narrative of the band’s early geography—homes, schools and the alleyways that fed the songs.
