Description

Discover the story of the Beatles on a guided tour of Liverpool. Visit their childhood homes, see the places that inspired their songs, and learn about their journey to stardom.
Step into the world of Lennon and McCartney and discover the story of how two Liverpool lads became the greatest songwriting duo in history.

The story begins in 1940s Liverpool:
Beginning with their childhood roots, exploring John’s sharp-witted upbringing with Aunt Mimi and Paul’s warm, musical home life. Walk the streets that shaped two very different boys with one shared spark - creativity.

Discover their early musical influences, from skiffle bands and scratchy guitars to the electrifying pull of rock-and-roll idols like Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis. These were the sounds that lit the fire.

Relive the meeting that changed music forever. In July 1957, at a summer fete in Woolton, one teenage guitarist met another. Paul played “Twenty-Flight Rock”, John was impressed, and a lifelong songwriting partnership began.

Follow their journey from The Quarrymen to The Beatles, with name changes, new faces, and long nights in Hamburg’s club scene. Every gig, every change, every riff pushed them closer to the phenomenal Beatles.

Learn about Brian Epstein and the big break. Spotted at The Cavern Club, polished by Epstein’s vision, signed to Parlophone, and bursting onto the charts with Love Me Do. The rest is music history.
