BEATLES LIVERPOOL SHORE EXCURSION BY CAB

Return to the Swinging Sixties on our 3-hour Bealtes shore excursion of Liverpool & surrounding suburbs – the original Bealtes Liverpool shore excursion for our cruise visitors to the city.

What better way to learn about our fab lads from Liverpool than by hopping into your own safe, private taxi tour, driven by a local expert driver guide?!

Some of your tour highlights include the childhood homes of your four favourite lads as well as some of the iconic places they frequented or sang about. Experience Penny Lane (incl. a photo stop at the famous sign & drive-past the barber, St. Barnabus Church and more), Strawberry Field (incl. stop for refreshments and photos) or Eleanor Rigby’s grave… Discover Woolton village where John met Paul on 6 July 1957, that ‘fete-ful’ day where John’s band, ‘The Quarrymen’, were playing at the church fete.

There are so many highlights during this Fab 4 tour that you will be able to cherish forever!

We also guarantee on-time return to your cruise ship, giving you full peace of mind.

WHAT TO BRING

GOOD TO KNOW

START DIRECTLY AT LIVERPOOL CRUISE TERMINAL

Your Liverpool Beatles Shore excursion guide will pick you up in their traditional Hackney Cab from right inside the cruise terminal and your Liverpool tour of exploration begins - you can expect to visit the following fantastic places on your tour.

START DIRECTLY AT LIVERPOOL CRUISE TERMINAL

CHILDHOOD HOMES

During your Beatles shore excursion you will be taken to the former homes of all the Fab 4, including Mendips where John lived with his Aunt Mime and 20 Forthlin Road, Paul McCartney’s former home and where the Lennon and McCartney song writing partnership took root.

CHILDHOOD HOMES

PENNY LANE

See the famous street that is in our ears and in our heart and which helped coin the 1967 hit. You’ll be able to see ‘a barber showing photographs’, the ‘shelter in the middle of the roundabout’ and find an 'old bank for a banker with a motorcar'!

PENNY LANE

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

Let your Beatles tour guide take you to Strawberry Field and you will enter a special place that left a huge impression on John Lennon and inspired one of his most famous songs, “ Strawberry Fields Forever”. You will have time to visit the Strawberry Field’s garden, enjoy the special atmosphere and, optionally, purchase some souvenirs. Entrance to the official exhibition can be included in this Beatles Tour by Cab on request.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

WHERE JOHN MET PAUL

Considered to be the most important meeting point in music history. You will have time to dwell at this historic place in the Beatles' story and you will hear about that famous day in 1957 when John first met Paul......and, as they say, the rest is history!

WHERE JOHN MET PAUL

ELEANOR RIGBY

In the same place where John was a choir boy you will also be able to see the real life tombstone that possibly influenced the famous 1966 song.

ELEANOR RIGBY

THE CHOIR BOY

You’ll pass by the church where Paul McCartney and his brother Mike used to sing as choir boys.

THE CHOIR BOY

RETURN TO YOUR SHIP IN STYLE

Your driver will convey you back to the cruise terminal and tell you a few more anecdotes about the Fab Four! We can also drop you off at The Beatles Story (and even get the tickets for you!) or Mathew Street for The Cavern Club if you like - all not too far from your ship!
