We had the best time. The museum was amazing. Our host Dale and Driver Dave on the Magical Mystery bus were the BEST! They were friendly, funny, informative, and made this experience better than we could have imagined. Easy travel from London to Liverpool. Everything was close by. Great timing for everything.

Our Magical Mystery Tour guide was Neil, and Ross was our driver, and every moment of the two hours was fun, and magical. My Beatles-mad ten-year-old was pointed in the direction of everything that would interest him. From Penny Lane to Strawberry Fields, the tour is a must-do for any Beatles fan. Neil is entertaining and so knowledgeable, and the trip is interspersed with a Beatles soundtrack the whole way round.
The museum is a treasure trove of mementoes and nostalgia. It took us around two hours to tour, but we listened to every single item on our headsets and looked at every single artefact and photo. There is a nice, relaxed atmosphere and it is very clean.
Our wonderful trip culminated in the tour dropping us at the Cavern Club where we had lunch. The live music was great, and the burgers delicious. Huge thanks to Mia behind the bar who cleared it with her manager to start lunch service early for my famished son who was determined to eat at the venue.
Excellent service, an historic and beautiful venue. Our museum visit, bus tour and Cavern lunch made our 24 hours in Liverpool so special, and we will cherish our memories forever.

Except for the very early “check-in” at 6:30am for a 7:43am train, and in which there was no one from the tour company to “check-in” with(!), the tour was good. The instructions were unclear and for the most part except the two hours on the Magical Mystery Bus, you’re on your own. There’s no pickup at the train station and no ride back, though walkable from the Cavern Club. The tour guide on the magical mystery tour was excellent and very knowledgeable and patient with late comers to the bus. Overall, it was a long but good day.

I grew up listening to the Beatles so this was a great experience for me. The day started off a bit Rocky as the Golden Tours company gave us the wrong time and info for departure at the train station from London. We had a good time today but just wanted to point out that they should change their departure instructions. There was no representative that met us at the train station this morning even though we were told in the instructions to meet one at 6:30am. I had to call the tour office at 6:40 after searching for the representative and then was told no one was coming. Also our train didn’t leave until 7:43 (departure time) so telling us to get to the train station at 6:30 was not kind. One and a quarter hours of waiting. I emailed twice the day before to confirm the later departure time on the e tickets and was told twice to get there for 6:30 to meet the representative on time. Not cool.
The tour consists of visiting the Beatles Story museum on our own. Then we had lunch on our own and met the Magical Mystery tour bus that drove us around to see sights like Penny Lane, Strawberry fields and homes of the Beatles. They played music and that tour was really nice. We ended at the Cavern and had a great experience there with live music. Great experience for any Beatles fan but might suggest to arrange the train ride on your own to save the hassle.

Its been in my bucket list for over 50 yrs. The tours did not disappoint. The museum, the cavern club and the magical mystery tour bus and guide were better than I had invisioned.
Touching & seeing the history of the band that is the 'BAR' was phenominal.

Tony (of the Mersey Beatles band) was a great tour guide as well as very kindly lending a hand with photographs. Ross was our driver on the tour and, both he and Tony, made the whole bus tour relaxed and friendly. The ticket also got us into the Cavern Club at the end, which was magical in itself, as well as a lovely discounted meal at the Cavern Restaurant. I think the take-away from this tour was the friendliness and good-will of all the other people, both on the bus tour and in the Cavern. Everyone just wanted to enjoy the experience and let others enjoy it too.
