Oh my gosh! What can I say about this tour????? FANTASTIC! Up super early, get on the tube, head to Euston Rail Station, and 2 1/2 hours later you are walking through the streets of Liverpool. The street signs are really easy to follow,,head to Albert Dock and you are at the Beatles Story, the best museum in the world for Beatles fans. The train gets to town around 9:30. It's about a 20 minute walk to the museum and then you will have a good 2-3 hours to see all there is, shop for souvenirs, and grab some lunch in their cafe. At 2:00, you board the bus for the Magical Mystery Tour...Penny Lane, Beatles childhood homes, Strawberry Field iron gates, and lastly, The Cavern on Mathew Street. You can actually sit an listen to performers in The Cavern as you sip a drink or grab a sandwich before you head back toward Lime Street Rail Station for the train ride home at 6:30. The William Gladstone pub is right across the street from the end of Mathew Street...super cheap fish and chips and really good. It's a fantastic tour to take. The day is filled with everything you would want to see of the Beatles and their hometown.

BR-654504995 - First this booking start was from Euston train station at 650 am, which you needed to be 10-min early. No big deal, I was literally staying 5-10 minutes from the station. However, when I arrived at 0630 - I could not find the person responsible for the tour. Neither could the assistant from the Euston Station ticket booth. No one answered calls to the number on the voucher, and VIATOR does not have ANY immediate contact numbers listed on their website. I had FIRST CLASS SEATS. I WAS IN THE STATION. HOW MESSED UP IS IT THAT I HAD TO WATCH THE TRAIN LEAVE WITHOUT ME? I certainly couldn't afford to purchase train tickets without a tour discount. It would have been so much easier if the ticket vouchers were electronic, but they were not. Unfortunately, I feel that this will also fall on deaf ears. I guess thereis always a glitch occasionally, and I must be it this time.

Really enjoyed the Magical Mystery Tour. Informative guide, and stops at all the key Beatles places. Best of all was the Cavern Club. Lots of history and the live music was awesome.

As a huge Beatles fan, I found this tour to be a once in a lifetime experience!! It was well organized and loaded with interesting info. The upgrade on the train to include meals was well worth it. Although it could be done on your own for much less, having the day all planned for a first visit to Liverpool was great!!

Fun Beatles venue! Loved traveling on train. Wish more information made available to us about return trip, viator did not enclose any information in packet given to us at train station, no time printed on train tickets either.

The Museum did a very good job telling the story of the band, its origins, rise to fame, the changes in music, the break-up and the post-Beatle life. Worth the 90 minutes or so it takes to do. The Magical Mystery Tour is as touristy as you might imagine but was worth every minute of it. The tour guide on the bus was particularly good.

Awesome Tour, Great History Lesson. Up Front and Personal.

This was an impressive tour and worth every penny! My husband is a huge Beatles fan so when we were planning our vacation I knew this was a must do for us...and I am so glad we did it! When I booked the only available option was the first class train ticket which I was hesitant to purchase as it was a little more than I had wanted to spend. It was SO worthwhile! The excursion starts with meeting at the train station at 6:30 in the morning....which means being up rather early. First class train provides breakfast options, big comfy seats, and WIFI....a very comfy ride. Once arriving in Liverpool we were able to easily find our way to the dock and the Beatles Story. It was a very informative and interesting look at the lives and history of the Beatles....from the very beginning to the end. We did find our way to the other exhibit which we were told featured more Beatles memorabilia but it was disappointing....more about the history of rock and roll and very little about the Beatles. There was enough time to stroll around and grab some lunch before embarking on the Magical Mystery tour. The guide for the tour was awesome...very Beatles savvy and entertaining. He took us through Liverpool pointing out the places they lived, famous places of inspiration for their songs such as Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields....and the history behind it all. After that we were dropped off near the famous Cavern Club which became the highlight for me personally. As we descended into the club it is well below ground level you could feel the history....and it was packed with people! The acoustics were amazing...the live entertainment was great to listen to while drinking a beer and feeling the music envelop the entire place. Tito Jackson even made an appearance! It was a great day...and the return train was wonderful with a light dinner and beverages provided. If you are a Beatles fan this is a MUST DO if you are in London and can spare a full day...you won't be disappointed!

Review by: Brett M, September 2017
The rail trip from London to Liverpool was certainly a highlight of our entire vacation. We upgraded to first class which made it extra special. We enjoyed the Beatles museum. The only slight in the whole day was the bus tour around Liverpool. For some reason the driver failed to remember to turn the air conditioner back on after we returned from each excursion. It really made the ride pretty stuffy since the bus was completely full of passengers. Other than that we had a wonderful time learning about the history of the Beatles!

So much to see and do in Liverpool, loved the trip. The Beatle's Story and the Magical Mystery Tour were exceptional.
Review by: Michael B, August 2017
Fantastic Day. The train, museum, and tour were phenomenal. Plenty of free time, which you will want, and enough structure to make it the experience of a lifetime. I have waited 50 years for this and it lived up to all my expectations. Our tour guide was amazing._br/_ I recommend this.
Review by: RANELIZA S, August 2017
It would be best if somebody went to Liverpool with the group, it was not clearly stated that we will be on our own as in we were just given instructions on the morning itself before leaving for Liverpool. If somebody was with us, we could have maximized our time exploring the City or at least include in the Tour description that except for the Magical Mystery Tour, the traveler will be on his/her own. Or at least have somebody to guide us upon arrival in Liverpool. Much time was spent looking for the other tour sites. It was good that I found 2 fellow Filipinos and we all got lost together...

Loved the whole trip. Train ride was fun. Beatles museum was great and the Magical Mystery Tour was a lot of fun, got to see so many places associated with the Beatles, homes, Strawberry Fields, etc.

Great tour that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend it!
Review by: Anthony W, July 2017
We took this tour on Saturday July 1st, 2017. Everything went off without a hitch and was very enjoyable. Be aware, however, that you are paying 180.00 per person for what amounts to about 100 worth of tickets. There is no guide - someone meets you at the train station and hands you an envelope with tickets for the train, The Beatles Story and the Cavern Club Bus Tour, all of which are available online separately. Save serious cash by setting this up yourself! You can do it no problem.
Review by: nmpuntonet, June 2017
This was a fun day trip from London.The Beatles museum is full of fun artifacts and treasures to keep any Beatles fan happy. You can take it all in at your own pace. Later you join a guided tour of the key sites in Liverpool where the Beatles lived and played. The guides were entertaining and full of juicy information. We even did an impromptu sing-along with everyone on the tour bus. It was well worth the time and money.
