Mike was excellent and humorous as our Beatles Walking Tour Guide. His knowledge of the formative years of the Beatles as they grew up in Liverpools suburbs before they became a world force in music was second to none. If you are a Beatles fan, you need to do this Tour. What I learnt certainly filled in the gaps in my knowledge in how the Fab Four met and how they ended up recording their earliest records in London. Mike also pointed out the many famous landmarks around the City whilst on the tour & explained their historical and cultural impact post World War 2. I would also recommend doing one of the Beatles Bus Tour which shows the geographical locations of where they grew up together, (aka Penny Lane & Strawberry Fields) this in comparison to the locations that they performed in within the City itself.

What an amazing tour! Liverpool and The Beatles are great, but our tour guide Mike really made this tour special. His knowledge and humor make all the difference between a standard guide and a true storyteller who has the gift of letting you forget you're not a Beatle yourself. Many thanks Mike!!!

Our tour guide Helen had a lot to tell us about the history of the city. She led us from one culinary stop to the next in her friendly manner. We have already done a few city tours in Europe and this is definitely one of the top three.

the guide was the best ever. full of knowledge. sympathic. and so nice. we enjoyed every minute

Spectacular!!! He explained everything in detail, excellent!!! I will visit Liverpool again!!!
