★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 739 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $76Our pick

This 3.5-hour afternoon coach tour links Abbey Road, Beatles sites, Jimi Hendrix’s former home and London music districts. Guides such as Clive, Ian and Richard bring the route to life with stories and photo help at the famous crossing. Expect a short walk, a group of up to 45, and possible delays from London traffic.

“This tour was incredible!! Frank is SO knowledgeable, it’s insane! He answers the questions you didn’t even think to ask. And a vast majority of the sites to see are things that he has personally experienced through the years. Which made it much more impactful than just “spitting out” facts. I loved this so much, I’m so glad I booked it for my first time being in England 🇬🇧 Pietro, our driver, was also very impressive.. those streets were tight, especially around Abbey Road but he maneuvered without any issue. 10/10.”

8.Full-Day Beatles and Liverpool Tour from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 49 reviews · 14 hours · from $303

Take an early Avanti West Coast train from London to Liverpool, then visit The Beatles Story and join a two-hour Magical Mystery Tour by coach. A Beatles guide points out the band’s childhood homes, schools, Penny Lane and Strawberry Field. The coach tour ends at the Cavern Club, where live music plays each afternoon.

“The Beatles Story and Magical Mystery Bus Tour were amazing especially the end going into Cavern Club. The reduced stars are for the bit of confusion with the tickets and the directions to meet at the train are deceiving as you are basically on your own the whole time until the bus tour. Also, as mentioned already, you can set the whole thing for yourself for less and with more flexibility. However the actual activities were great, they get 5 stars from me and my family. Liverpool is worth the visit.”
