• The tour guide is fantastic.
• Not knowing the way back to the train from the Cavern.

“I took the Magical Mystery tour in September of this year. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The quiz was great! It was great to see Penny Lane, Strawberry Field, the homes of the guys, The Cavern and Liverpool in general. Lovely city. Would like to return and spend a few days there. Would definitely recommend taking the tour. Two hours very well spent.”

• Great entertainment.
• Slightly expensive.

“My daughter and I went on the Beatles magical mystery tour in February 07 it was the funniest afternoon we had had for a long time. It was bizarre jumping off the coach with Japanese and American tourists all taking pictures of boarded up houses and small terraced properties. Stopping at penny lane was comical as we all had our pictures taken by the road sign which regularly gets stolen! The guide and driver were brilliant-such characters, if you want a good 2 hours entertainment on a psycadelic coach this is for you. We are no Beatle fans but it was a great experience. Hope no one changes the format of this tour, its great as it is.”

• Great entertaining tour guide.
• Unrelated tourists.

“Went to Liverpool for a short trip from London - the whole trip itself was pure entertainment. Left Easton station at 7:00 am so that I could spend a whole day in l-pool to track down beetles -related sights. The most enjoyable part was the magical mystery tour. Loved the bus - from the 70s I was told - it had a bit of a hard time (poor thing) because it was already quite old-ish - but that made the whole ride even more fun - we lost the exhaust pipe on the way - that was when we were about to see ring¿s birthplace. The driver did a great job - so did the guide Neil - very entertaining despite of probably doing that tour 24/7 - nice Liverpool-accent and good at improvising too! (See exhaust section). shame the people on the fully-booked bus were a bit un-relaxed - maybe they should have been served a kind of magical mystery drink (alcoholic) before entering to loosen up a bit. My advice is take a paparazzi zoom lens - once you get off the bus to being photographed next to strawberry fields etc you end up in a line waiting to get your spot. With everyone snapping along. Nice that they played beetles songs on the bus - all perfectly timed with the places they relate to as well -I wish I could have been driven around for a few hours more just for the fun of it and as well getting the whole Liverpool feel.”

• Great fun, informative if you are a beetles fan.
• Waiting for late comers at the beginning of the tour.

“This was the funniest afternoon I have had in years, the coach was a classic so was the driver and the guide, it seemed bizarre taking tourists around to such back street places where the fab four lived etc. we all jump out and take photos and then jump back and on to the next stop. The beetle trivia and questions asked on the coach were such fun even though we weren¿t mad beetle fans and couldn¿t answer any of them but there were people on the coach that would answer all the questions. Our high light was also seeing Freddie mercury's old flat in penny lane! It is a tour that we can highly recommend if you are a beetles fan but if you are not you will still enjoy it but tongue in cheek. Money well spent.”

• Its the funniest afternoon I've ever had.
• See the review.

“The magical mystery tour is amazing. we visited many Beatles sights including the homes of John & Paul and the bus stop where George met Paul, and as Eddie our guide kept saying the rest is history a shame that Eddies patter is so cheesy and stale and it sounds like he reading it (very badly) from a script. He is a real Beatles fan, who has a wealth of knowledge but his delivery needs work. The wonky poor Beatles recordings that are played over the bus annoy system add charm and the whole experience is very very funny. I would recommend the magical mystery tour for all the wrong reasons a must do when visiting Liverpool ”

• Visiting Penny Lane and Strawberry Field
• The number of times you have to get off the couch

“I recently went on The Magical Mystery Tour and had a fantastic time! The tour lasts for two hours, beginning at The Beatles Museum at the Albert Dock.

During the tour we visited many sights, including the infamous Penny Lane, where the coach stops to enable people to have their photographs taken next to the famous sign, and as you progress up the surprisingly long lane, you see the barbers shop which features in the lyrics of the song. We also visited Strawberry Field, and were once again given the opportunity to leave the coach to have a look at what is actually a defunct childrens home. Throughout the tour, we visited the homes of the beatles and many famous landmarks associated with the fab four.

I would definitely recommend the tour; it certainly attracts people of all nationalities and ages. The coach is pleasant, and the guide is clearly a Beatles fanatic! The only down side is having to keep getting off the couch, but this is the only option if you wish to see the wonderful sights for yourself!”
