Best duo to do the tour with! - Tommy & Arthur were THE best guys to do this tour with, so funny, so knowledgeable and very entertaining. My husband is a massive Beatles fan & Tommy knew just the extra things he wanted to know & they even had a sing along. Arthur even showed us old photos of the sights in the 60’s. Tommy got my husband a souvenir courtesy of JL too which he has treasured.

A must do. 5 stars. - We done this tour with our teenage daughters last week and we all absolutely loved it. Chris, our tour guide is extremely entertaining, brilliantly knowledgeable and can play and sing a bit!
Seeing the barbershop, bank building and shelter in the middle of the roundabout, all mentioned in the song Penny lane was a particular highlight. Whenever I hear that song now I know I’ll always think of this brilliant tour.
I cannot recommend this highly enough, whether you’re huge Beatles fans or not, young or old, this is an excellent way to spend 90mins.
Thank you Chris - you made our day!

Lovely Liverpool at its best ! - We went on the Beatles Tour first for 90 mins with the fabulous Dave as our guide and John our driver. Dave was such fun and told great stories, played Beatles songs and was great craic ! It was really interesting and informative and we visited all the relevant Beatles sites.
Two tips : 1. You need to get this tour by 1330 at the latest to be able to be back to hop on the last City Bus Tour for the day. 2. A visit to a Beatles museum prior to the Beatles Bus tour will greatly enhance your experience.

Fantastic way to spend a couple of hours! - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Chris was such a lovely and entertaining tour guide and Arthur the driver also kept us entertained. This
dynamic duo kept us laughing all the way around. Once you've done the Beatles tour on the blue route, you can also use the same ticket for the city red route hop on and hop off so really excellent value for money. An uplifting and interesting way to spend a couple of hours in Liverpool. Thanks Chris and Arthur!

Great, quick experience! - Dave and Colin were both very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated Dave's humor on the tour. I felt safe with Colin at the wheel. I quite enjoyed "singing" along to one of the hit songs towards the end of the tour!

Brilliant tour of Liverpool - I highly recommend this tour, which takes in all the main sights of Liverpool, as well as showing us where the Beatles grew up. Chris the tour guide was so informative and entertaining, lots of stories about Liverpool, as well as singing and playing his ukalele. Bonus is you can use these tickets the following day also, very good as hop on service to visit specific places. Oh and yes, a free glass of fizz in The Philharmonic pub

Here Comes The Sun! - My husband and I were 17 & 13,
respectively, when the Beatles blew
us away in the USA. Tokey Tommy did
a brilliant job of bringing the lad's
home town inspirations alive, with
tenderness and humor. He showed a
real reverence and appreciation for
this phenomenal group, who forever
changed the world, and Liverpool,
especially.
The most beautiful, magical thing
occurred on this particular tour. We were in the top of the open-top bus,
despite the dark skies, blustery wind
and forecast of rain. Tommy would
play various songs and we would
joyfully sing together. When he
played George's Here Comes The
Sun we were all feeling so happy and
aware that the sun was actually
somewhat visible behind the clouds.
We grew very excited and l, for one.
believed the sun would break
through. And, lo and behold, it truely did, as we sang the last lines of the song with our heads thrown back to catch the rays full force. I wish I had a photo of Tokey Tommy with his arms akimbo, his eyes closed and a beatific expression on his face! Best tour ever!
