What's included in the price?
Included is a private tour with one of our specialist Beatles tour driver guides inside the comfort of a Hackney Carriage “Black Cab” taxi.

Is my taxi guaranteed to be "black" and/or "traditional" as the old taxis are/were?
Our Black Cabs (Hackney Carriage cabs) come in different colours (of which the majority are black).

We recommend you bring suitable clothing for changing weather and comfortable footwear for your tour. Bring layers. This is Britain and we do tend to have four seasons in one day.
What are the guides like?
In short, fab! Some of them love to tell the fascinating history of the Beatles as if they lived it themselves, others know hidden secrets of every Fab4, and every one of them wants to make you love their city as much as they do. They will keep you entertained on the journey with music and stories and give you plenty of time for photos & questions.
