Description
On this unmissable online experience, you will get to walk along Mathew Street in Liverpool's Cavern Quarter with a local tour guide who is a Beatles expert! Here, you will get the opportunity to take a closer look at the statues and the buildings relevant to the Beatles' story and success and learn how and why this vibrant city has changed in the footsteps of the Fab Four.
It's not just the Beatles; Liverpool was once the second Port of the British Empire, and you will see former fruit warehouses, the most famous of which became the Cavern Club, where the Beatles played 292 times. The famous Cavern Wall of Fame lists all the bands who have played there, including Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones even more contemporary bands such as Adele and Jessie Jay.
You will also see the statues of John Lennon, Eleanor Rigby, & Cilla Black. I will explain to you all the coincidences which resulted in 4 ordinary lads from a Northern City with Liverpool accents becoming the most successful band in history. There is no other online tour with such passion where you will learn so much about this incredible city. You can even ask me non-Beatles related questions on Liverpool - What else is there to do there, how long will I need in Liverpool, what about the Football clubs - and I will happily answer them all!

Neil & Claire
Neil McDonald and Claire Rider are both Liverpool Blue Badge Tourist Guides who have been running the original Liverpool Beatles Walk every day for the last 7 years. Neil was the Head of Customer Service for a telecommunications company and Claire was a Marketing Manager. However, they both discovered their real vocation and each other when they trained together for two years as tour guides in 2013. Neil & Claire both know the owners of the Cavern Club really well, they speak regularly to Roag Best and take guests to his family home 'The Casbah'. Many other Beatles legends are still around on Penny Lane and they know the original Quarry-men, Beatles authors, and even John Lennon's half-sister. Everyone in Liverpool works extremely hard to keep the story real. They are both licensed driver/guides with a beautiful V-Class Mercedes and are usually busy showing guests all around the UK on luxury multi-day tours. They love their jobs and will really help you put all the Beatles locations into context. Claire is often singing and extremely theatrical, and Neil knows an absolute wealth of interesting facts. Neil was once guiding visitors around the corner on a Beatles Tour and there was Paul McCartney who even agreed to have his photo taken with the clients!
