Hello - My name is Neil, I am 69 years old and have Lived and worked in Liverpool all of my life. I am a great admirer of the city, its people and its culture. I have been working as a local guide since 2012 undertaking over 300 full day tours in and around the city. I am happy and proud to report I consistently receive 5 STAR reviews for my tours and will endeavour to ensure this continues. This free walking tour is the culmination of my work so far. I have been astonished at the changes to the city landscape over the last 20 years and have witnessed the resurgence of Liverpool to become once again a global city of importance. I will be proud to guide you through this cities many wonderful attractions. I often say my life my earliest memory at the age of eight was hearing the iconic roll of drums that opened the Beatles first massive hit 'She Loves You' on the radio. My love of their unique sound and melodies has never diminished since. Ever proud of our most famous sons’ Beatles fans will find Liverpool still dances to the Mersey Beat! If you should book a free walking tour with me you will hopefully find me, as others do, a warm and friendly man with a wicked sense of humour and a genuine love for his City. I look forward to meeting you and sharing safely an unforgettable experience of Liverpool.

Tour description

60 years ago six young men would regularly take the bus into Liverpool City Centre. Once there they would visit the pubs, clubs, record and music stores, to listen or play music. They dreamed of making it big in Liverpool, or if that was way too ambitious perhaps, maybe at least attract the attention of the local beauties.
This walking tour revisits the Liverpool journeys of these six members of the early Beatles.
We visit all the statues and memorials in the city centre that recognise both their towering achievements and extraordinary talents.
We also explore what remains of their Liverpool "there are places I remember" thankfully there is still a lot that remains to see along the way.
I will give you my own personal take on how I see the forces in the music world, and society in post war Liverpool, combined to give birth to a beat scene that would emerge on to the world stage, to change the music business forever and give joy to millions of people.
I invite you to come with me on my fun Beatles Walking tour!
Start with a photo opportunity at the Beatles Statue by the river and explore Liverpool's stunning waterfront. 
Walk through to Castle Street and the Town Hall, scene of the Beatles glorious homecoming in 1964, witnessed by 200, 000 of their adoring fans. 
Down to the 'Beatles Quarter' centred around Mathew Street, for a detailed exploration of the clubs, pubs and shops that played such a key role in their early story. 
Photo opportunities and detailed narration alongside the statues. Each tells a part of an enchanting story that unfolds along our journey together. 
Then we finish outside the world famous Cavern Club the venue where the fab four first began to get noticed and attract the attention of the man who take them to the next level Brian Epstein.
