Great tour guide! - Someone gave me a tip do this tour. And it was worth it, but due to the great guide we had. He made the tour!! He was passionate, enthousiastic and had a great knowledge of The Beatles. Also about questions on subjects which were not in the tour (for example the murder on John Lennon).
I think the experience can even be bether: our car was a regular taxi, I would prefer Beatles look and feel. The guide had no Beatles clothing and I would give my customers some merchandise, for example a Beatles scarf.

Amazing tour with John Joyce - What an absolutely amazing trip, I don't really know where to start with my review, my husband who i first went out with in1981 when i was 16 he 17 was a huge Beatle fan, he was devastated about John lennon being killed the year before and equally gutted and saddened when George Harrison also passed and always said he was born in the wrong era, was his brain still working i sincerely think he'd have been there at the top as an amazing tour guide... He absolutely loved/loves all 4 beatles and always knew all you could know about them. One of the things he always wanted to do was visit Liverpool and do everything a Beatle fan could do, well, sadly at the age of 54 in 2018 my hubby had memory issues, last year he was diagnosed with Alzheimers and as a family we know he is on borrowed time, therefore we are trying to help him do some of the things you know you have forever to do but have never got round to doing... We have had the most amazing tour and Jim my hubby is still saying how amazing the man who did the tour with us was just fantastic, that man was called john Joyce, all I can say is thank you for bringing to life four lads known to us all as John, Paul, George & Ringo, your enthusiasm, knowledge and passion brought 4 people to life and the stories and places you spoke to us and showed us made them leap to life through your knowledge and imagination, anyone thinking of doing this do not hesitate, I'm not an avid beatle fan but yesterday has made me see what i previously failed to, from where lyrics originated from, to young lads and their mischievousness' to serious music making, John Joyce you are a legend, thankyou for an informative, fun and enjoyable tour, thank you even more for helping to make a difficult life at present for Jim something very special and completing a bucket list wish...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🚕🎶#1 Beatles Tour Cabby & Driver in all of Liverpool🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - "Geoff is absolutely fantastic! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hands down the best cab driver and tour guide for a Beatles tour in all of Liverpool. He is a treasure trove of knowledge, sharing fascinating stories and details about the Fab Four that you won’t find in guidebooks. Geoff went above and beyond to make our tour unforgettable—he was incredibly accommodating, tailoring the experience to our preferences, and always made sure we were comfortable. His friendly demeanor and genuine passion for the Beatles made the day so enjoyable. When at Strawberry fields, Geoff was known by all the staff and as an added lucky surprise John Lennons sister was visiting the shop. Geoff new her and he had a quick chat. Geoff dropped us off at the museum near the Cavern. I had a bag of purchases that I left in the shop at Strawberry fields. Geoff called us but we were sion to board our train back to London. Somehow he got the bag drove across town and by this time we had just boarded the train. My husband jumped off the train and Geoff met him at the gates to exchange the bag. 🥰🥰🥰I just hope he sees this review and know how much we thank him. I will never, ever forget the coolest cabby tour guide Geoff! If you’re in Liverpool and want an amazing, informative, and fun Beatles experience, Geoff is the one to call. Highly recommended!"

Superb trip. - Our guide John Joyce took us on a most amazing Beatles early years tour & we were absolutely blown away by the details, stories & opportunity to visit places like Penny lane & Strawberry fields for a very special birthday! John is like an encyclopaedia so even if you think you know the Beatles you’ll know much more after this trip. Wonderful company to deal with, so helpful for organising our trip. Thank you!! Miriam, Michael & Ita.

Skip the cruise excursion - Did not want to be in a bus for a cruise excursion. Booked this tour from 9am-3pm and was able to see many Beatles and historic Liverpool sites. We had Peter for the day and he was great at explaining everything and answering our questions. Got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare.

Dave is the Fifth Beatle! - Took the 5-hour tour of The Beatles’ childhood homes with Dave.
Best tour I’ve ever taken!
His knowledge of the Fab Four is unsurpassed.
He took me places that weren’t on tour — off the Beatles’ beaten path.
Thanks again, Dave.

Fab Four Taxi Tour with Phil was Fabulous! - We made a special trip to Liverpool to take this tour and it was worth every penny. Phil was a wonderful guide and told us great stories of the Beatles and gave us a wonderful sense of Liverpool history- had no idea what big role Liverpool played in the US Civil War -plus we went to neighborhoods that very few tourists see. Liverpool is lovely and the Fab Four Taxi tour is the perfect way to understand where the Beatles come from and what and where made them the superstars they became.
