Penny Lane was of course made famous by The Beatles song of that name, released in 1967. John Lennon and Paul McCartney used to meet at Penny Lane to catch a bus into town.

It’s still a lively area, with independent businesses lining the street. There’s even a barber’s shop in the same spot referenced in the song.

Magical Mystery Tour was excellent, enjoyed visiting the homes where each of the Beatles lived. Tony was very knowledgeable and funny and Dave did a great job maneuvering the bus around Liverpool.

Lynette_M

Excellent tour. Guide Neil and driver Steve were knowledgeable and fun. If you want to do a Beatles immersion tour this is it.

Jannata_R

The tour started off pretty well and the instructions were easy to follow. The experience was great however, we did not realize that booking near Christmas day in the UK means that train services are at risk being cancelled. Our scheduled train back to London was cancelled last minute and we had to go through alternative routes and gave up our reserved seats. This was our first time in the Country and we’re not familiar with the situation and would be helpful if first timers can be warned beforehand.

Keith_N

I am 74 and Male from Toronto. The entire day was Dreamlike for me. From the Beatles Story, the Bronze statues on the Dock with the highlight being the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour bus Ride. The young man that narrated the trip was Outstanding and the whole tour was Amazing. The singalongs were a dream come true. A day I will always remember.

Marilyn_W

I loved it all! Just being where the Beatles lived and began was thrilling for me. I’ve wanted to come to Liverpool since I was 10 (60 years ago).

Jeremy_M

We had a fantastic time on this tour. Transportation was super easy and straightforward, with trains to and from Liverpool arranged by the tour. The morning was spent at the Beatles Story Museum which was awesome; and the afternoon Magical Mystery Tour was equally so. We also had some spare time in between the two to get lunch, and in the evening before our train back to do another activity (we went to the Liverpool Cathedral but there are a few options of additional activities). Highly recommend this tour!

Cheri_L

Seeing all the childhood homes and haunts of The Beatles, the places where fate intervened and they met for the first time and the places that inspired their music was a total thrill and an experience every true Beatles fan must have.

Marjorie_M

I could not go on this tour, even though I had paid for it. I could not download the tickets. I rang the tour provider in London and they told me to contact viator. I sent an email and explained I could not download the tickets and they just sent me the same things again. This meant I did not have the tickets and no one would help me so I lost my money I paid for the trip I could not attend.

Tara_C

The Magical mystery bus tour was very good. The tour guide was fun and informative. I would have liked to go into Strawberry Fields to see the white piano (John Lennon) that was on display. Was also hoping to see Elenor Rigby grave. The Beatles museum was sparse of Beatle memorabilia (clothes they wore etc) a lot of it was replicas.

Steven_L

Tony on the Magical Mystery Tour Bus was great, he obviously loves his (relatively new) job showing his love for The Beatles and his beautiful hometown Liverpool, and he and Alan gave us a great day. Tony has a great voice and comic timing for his role, but the bus's microphone for him to use is dodgy, and needs replacement!
