The Beatles' Liverpool Day Tour
delivered by Jackie
Our full day tour of The Beatles' Liverpool is the most
comprehensive tour of its kind. The time spent on the coach is
limited to transportation. We will not do a 'drive by' of a
significant Beatle sight unless we come across a legal
restriction. Our team of Beatle experts have put together a day
of true historic and memorable Beatle sights in the city. Each
has a story to tell that will fascinate even the most
knowledgeable fans. We have a great mix of some of the better
known sights with those that are little know but weigh heavy in
Beatle history. The tour was developed by The Beatle Pilgrimage
Tour staff & our genuine Liverpudlian tour guide, Jackie. You will hear
first hand accounts as told by locals that where there when
it happened.
The day includes a visit to The
Casbah Coffee Club with an exclusive tour of the club
narrated by either Roag or Rory Best. You will hear a story
of The Beatles' 'true beginnings' directly from the source.
You are in direct contact with the people that can give you
an eye witness account of the real Beatles story. The tales
will amaze you. On display for your viewing pleasure are
many of the genuine Beatle artifacts that the [Pete] Best
family holds so dearly. As you can see by our tour photos in
our photo gallery, Pete Best has been know to stop by and
meet the guests of The Beatle Pilgrimage Tour
We'll stop by St. Peter's Parish
Hall and meet Dave - he was there when John & Paul met for
the first time. We'll see Beatle birthplaces, schools and
childhood homes. There's also a roundabout with a banker,
barber & shelter and you will be taken down to a place where
nothing is real. Dave will show you a picture drawn by John
when he was just a toddler.
Included in the day is a time to
remember friends like Stu & Brian with a respectful visit to
their final resting place. |

'mic' night at The Jacaranda
[subject to tour

The Jacaranda is a small
Liverpool club that played a big part in the early
development of The Beatles in Liverpool. Basically it is as
it was in the early 60s, the club's most treasured Beatles
artifact is a mural in the catacombed cellar that was
painted by Stu Sutcliffe. Legend as has it, that Lennon
himself has left a piece of artwork on the wall. The evening
is capped with 'mic night at The Jac' where you have the
opportunity to get up on stage at an authentic Beatles'
venue and have your 15 minutes of Beatles fame.
