Beatles Guide

Unfortunately I am not a huge fan of the Fab Four, so can't help you with a tour company, but I'd advise you not to ignore the other attractions of the city. We enjoyed it immensely. The Royal Albert Dock, the Mersey Ferry, the Museum of Liverpool and the Anglican Cathedral are all worth a visit.

My wife, who is a big Beatles fan, had no difficulty finding plenty of historical sites connected with the band without a guide. But I understand the desire for a knowledgeable guide; I'm sorry I can't help.

jphbucks - that is very helpful. Thanks for the info and the heads up.

We were in Liverpool last year for 2 full days (3 nights) and did several Beatles activities. My favorite was the National Trust tour of John & Paul’s childhood homes. Hiring a guide to take you around wouldn’t help with that or really any of the other activities we did. It’s very possible to do it on your own.

You don't need a private guide to see the Beatles sites.
We were there in May

we stayed at the hard Days night hotel, next to Mathew Street where the Cavern Club and the Beatles Museum are located, which we both visited.

The best is the National trust McCartney and Lennon child hood homes.

we also did the Magical Mystery bus tour.

and The Famous Beatles walking tour

There's also the Beatles story musuem

If you have to have a private tour or are unable to DIY, the look at the taxi tours, such as the Fab4taxi tour

Thanks to all. I think you saved me a few pounds. I'd be delighted to buy you all a beer if you're anywhere near Liverpool in mid-october. Best -
