2.Private 3-Hour Beatles Classic Tour by Taxi

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 308 reviews · 3 hours

Follow the Beatles through Liverpool by private taxi, visiting Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Woolton, and their childhood homes.

“9th May 2024 We could not have enjoyed it more! Three hours flew past and we learnt lots to fill in the personal details of the Fab Four over the decades. The Tour was made in fabulous weather and enhanced by, also Fab, Tony, our guide. He was hugely enthusiastic and totally knowledgeable on his subject. No sign of 'jaded tour guide' and he was fun to spend time with. I think he enjoyed it too! Top marks all round. Suzanne Holmes, Sarah Jones and Michael Patrick.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 100 reviews · 2.5 hours

See the British Museum’s Rosetta Stone, Parthenon sculptures, Roman treasures, and Sutton Hoo with a private Blue Badge guide.

“As soon as we knew we would be in London on a father-daughter trip, we knew that we wanted to have a memorable and efficient time at the British Museum. We had heard how extensive and confusing it could be, taking up a full day (if not multiple) to see. We both also highly value knowing what we’re actually looking at and understanding its significance beyond just its age. That led us to a private guide, and we lucked out with Anthony Matthews, who made our 2-3 hours beyond special and fly by. He was very comfortable to be around and was personable as an individual, sharing his own passions…”

“An excellent tour provided by our driver, Ian. Well informed and interesting and Ian took time to explain things at the various stops. he also helped with photos which was a big plus. My only slight quibble is that it was a silver taxi and not the Merc I had been expecting. That apart, great value and a fantastic experience for Beatle fans.”
