Worth visit-in,just put on the provided head phones and look for the numbers on the exhibits and walk around at your pace. The magical mystery bus.,the tour around the town, see where the Fab Four grew up and where they lived.
My only complaint is it’s assumed that your phones GPS will help you get from the train station to the exhibit. Even though we had purchased a SIM card for our phones GPS did not work, signage is poor out of the station and really is a 20 minute plus minute walk ,( I do not advise if you have difficulty walking)..we where very fortunate a professor from the museum asked if we were lost and kindly walked with us through the town to direct us to the Beatles exhibit.Also there is no assistance from the tour company ( which is explained in the purchase of the tickets) so make sure you check into all details prior to the visit. The Train was easy and before you board look at the electronic overhead boards for current times and which platform and gate you need to go to. Your seats are very easy to find ,each carriage is lettered and once you are on board you can find your seat number, our train did have a food car, “Time for tea”.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

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.

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.
