Overview

A must for Beatles fans, this Ultimate Ticket-To-Ride tour is packed with iconic locations. On this half-day tour, you’ll have time to stop for photos and enjoy listening to—or singing along with—the music of the Fab Four. Travel in comfort in an executive vehicle with a separate driver, while an expert guide brings the Beatles’ story to life with fascinating facts and anecdotes. You’ll see the homes where John, Paul and Ringo grew up, the colleges they attended, Matthew Street, the Cavern, and the church where John met Paul—you may even get the chance to step inside and stand on the exact spot. You’ll also visit places that inspired famous songs, including Penny Lane and Strawberry Field. Entry to the Strawberry Field Exhibition is included, where you’ll see John Lennon’s piano, used to write and record Imagine, along with many other Beatles artefacts.
