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 girls.
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, combine 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.

Hold on tight, the most complete and fun tour of all awaits you in Liverpool!

It all begins at the Bombed Church, or St Luke's Church, where the city's history begins to unfold like a movie. And from there we launch into action.

China Town and the bombed church would be like the secondary characters that at a given moment steal the scene and take center stage.

The atmosphere becomes more psychedelic in the Catholic cathedral and somewhat more serious and mysterious in the Anglican one, as if we were in a detective movie, but with less drama.

Then we will discover a corner that does not appear on most tours and that we will not mention the name so that they do not copy us.

We will visit the Central Library and its whispering column.
Also the St George Hall which looks like the main stage of a concert, with a lot of history, but without music.

From there, we headed to Mathew St, in the Cavern Quarter, the climax of the film. The spirit of the Beatles and the Rhythm of the craziest and most fun city in the United Kingdom will haunt us.

The epic finale comes at the Waterfront and views of the River Mersey and the Three Graces. But do not worry ! The fun doesn't stop here! You are in the perfect place to continue your visit at your own pace and perhaps visit one of the wonderful museums in this area. Ask me.

This tour is like a comedy that leaves you with a good taste in your mouth and you will surely want more.
