Liverpool Beatles Tours

David set up our Beatles tour of Liverpool on what turned out to be Sir Paul McCartney's birthday June 18th. Our guide was Joey and he was fantastic. He's born and bred in Liverpool and he knows the town and of course he knows the Beatles. We booked a four hour tour and Joey made sure that we really got to see everything that we could. We all four Beatles childhood homes, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane and got a real sense of the city as it was in Beatle days. My family loved the tour and our excellent driver and raconteur Joey. I would highly recommend this tour.

We chose a full day tour with David. He is a class act! He met us at the port (we were on a cruise) and took us to see everything! From Ringo and George's childhood homes to arranging for us to take the National Trust tours of John and Paul's childhood homes! While standing on Penny Lane, he explained exactly was the song was about. He also told us and showed us Strawberry Fields and took us to the church where John and Paul were first introduced. The same church had a cemetery in which Eleanor Rigby was buried. The other big highlight of the day was getting to tour the Casbah Coffee Club. We enjoyed our tour with Roag Best (Pete's great nephew). We were totally immersed in Beatles history and influences during this tour. I can definitely say that

It was magical to visit so many of the places that shaped the Beatles and hear the stories of how it all came together. My guide, David Bedford, really brought the whole Beatles story to life and emphasized that the greatest band ever was truly meant to be. It was just a fantastic day all around that I will never forget!

Having booked the full Beatles package this turned out to be the highlight. Dave Tarbuck our guide ‘brought to life’ the songs with his explanation behind the words. It wasn’t just here’s Eleanor Rigby’s grave or this is Strawberry Field. You could sense he was well respected by other tour guides as we stopped at various locations. I certainly feel we dropped lucky. I’ve already recommended this tour and Dave to a colleague who’s planning a visit to Liverpool.

I went on a virtual tour of Lennon in Liverpool and London with David Bedford and Richard Porter on 29th Nov 2020 and they both augmented each other and furnished us all with the most arcane and esoteric facts that you would normally have to study a lifetime to find.
David's Liverpool take was researched from eye and ear witnesses he had interviewed himself from the specific era which gave it an enhanced authenticity and human touch. You definitely had the feeling that this guide is about as good as it gets and best hang on to every pearl of knowledge he delivers as they come thick and fast.
Richard has most definitely pounded the streets of London more than any other guide and highlighted more Beatles places of interest than anybody in the known world. He is totally dedicated to his pursuit of accuracy and informs everyone with at least thirty years of accumulative Beatledom.
These guys are world class and optimise your experience with the most knee trembling facts you are ever like to witness.

Book this tour with David Bedford! Others can show you around Liverpool, but his love and knowledge of the Beatles, and their city, are apparent. We took the 6 hour tour (which flew by) and immersed ourselves into the world of the early Beatles.

Don't just pass John and Paul's houses on a yellow bus. Get outgo inplay piano in Paul's living room like I did! Stand in John's bedroom on and on.
Most tours do not go to the Casbah Club, a special slice of Beatles history.

David and driver Ian were a blast to spend the day with, and we highly recommend you book this tour!

I attended David's virtual "The Beatles in Liverpool, London and Hamburg" tour with fellow Beatles tour guide Richard Porter, and what a FAB time! Heard lots of great and specific facts about the clubs the band played at and the fascinating history around these cities. Even a special treat to see what they look like today from the pics/videos the speakers had. Along with some special stories, these guys have such a wonderful passion for the band that you will enjoy too! Check out the next virtual tour available.

We had only one day in Liverpool, but this private, customized tour got us into all the sites we wanted to see. Our tour guide, Dave Tarbuck is a lifelong Liverpool resident and was able to answer all of our arcane questions. We started with Ringo's and George's childhood homes, followed by Paul’s and John’s boyhood homes – both part of the National Trust. We next visited Penny Lane including the barbershop, and St. Peter’s Church where a young Paul McCartney met a young John Lennon. It is also where Eleanor Rigby is buried. We had lunch at Strawberry Fields and finished up with a tour of the Casbah Club, where the Beatles truly started. This part of the tour was conducted by expert David Bedford and tells the story of how the Beatles went from a makeshift club in a suburban housewife’s basement to Shea Stadium in six years. Truly fascinating and likely more educational than the bigger bus tours. Highly recommended if you have the budget.

David was a brilliant tour guide who was very knowledgeable and had the answers to all our annoying questions (and didn’t mind when we got ahead of ourselves )
we could have listened to his knowledge all day . Gave us a brilliant tour with plenty of stops and we got to see all the sights and learned a huge amount we didn’t know .
We loved it thanks David

Myself and my Wife booked a tour last week and we had an amazing time, our guide who unfortunately I can't remember his name, was amazing and showed us all the amazing Beatles spots we have read about. The tours of John and Paul's houses was an added bonus. We also has the pleasure of touring the Casbah Club which was fantastic. Any Beatles fan should give this tour a try, it was a great way to spend a day in Liverpool
