We will enjoy greeting everyone on Monday for welcome drinks and hors d’oerves after a great first day of our tour. There might be a little Beatle music in the background by the way…

Our tour will officially begin with breakfast in the hotel Monday morning. After breakfast each morning we’ll meet up with one of Liverpool’s legendary expert hosts and Beatles’ guides, Steve. Each morning he will take us to some of the most famous places in the lives of these four lads, the places most people want to see and photograph. Places they sang about that actually exist, where they grew up and lived and he will have a few surprises for us along the way.

We will have lunch together each day and will leave most afternoons on your own to explore this beautiful great European Cultural city. You are free at night but you can be sure I’ll be in the Cavern Club every single night, enjoying live music three stories underground and just around the corner from the hotel, a one-minute walk. This is the place to be, having been there a few times. Oh, it is big fun down there!!! Thursday night has us at the legendary Philharmonic Dining Hall (a fabulous and famous pub), most recently seen in the Carpool Karaoke episode with Paul McCartney and James Corden at the end of their show together.

This tour will not miss anything Beatles related and all we can say, stealing from a John Lennon line, a “splendid time is guaranteed for all.” Let’s take a look at what’s in store.
