Welcome to the City that made the Beatles!
If you’ve got an hour to spare in Liverpool, our Beatles Early Years Tour of Liverpool is an entertaining introduction to both the Beatles and their home city. The tour will give you an overview of the Beatles rise to success, and talk about some of the significant people in their lives.
During the tour you’ll be able to get out of the taxi and see some of the locations up close. This city centre tour also takes in some of Liverpool’s stunning architecture and provides some great photo opportunities, including a plaque showcasing John Lennon’s iconic glasses.
The tour starts off with the registry office where John married his first wife, you’ll find out why this was hardly the romantic wedding of Cynthia’s dreams! Then you’ll step back in time and see the place where Lennon was born. As you drive along Hope Street (which links Liverpool’s two Cathedrals) you’ll pass the stunning Philharmonic Dining Rooms which you may recognise from Carpool Karaoke, when Paul McCartney gave a surprise concert – not the first time the Beatles have done this!
You’ll pass Brian Epstein’s old flat and discover which Beatles song was written here. You’ll get to see Paul McCartney and George Harrison’s old school – yes they were friends before the days of the Beatles. Just around the corner is the attractive 19th Century terrace where Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe shared a student flat. The last location on the tour takes you to the beautiful Georgian street where Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager was born.
Throughout the tour your talented taxi driver, with a local knowledge of the city, will entertain you with anecdotes and trivia about the Beatles and Liverpool. As with all of our tours, you’ll hear Beatles songs and find out about the events that inspired the songs.
Whether you have time in between meetings, before catching your train or you’re simply looking for something different to try, this tour is a Fab way to spend 90 minutes.
