If you are at Liverpool and you are a Beatles fan, you will discover that there are quite a number of Bealte related tours to go on. I was on The Magical Mystery Tour and the tour done by the National Trust. If you do not have time to go on more than one tour, you must not miss out... More

We took the Ntl Trust tour which allowed us to go inside. The tour guide we had was wonderful and gave us a lot of information and Paul McCartney and his family. I highly recommend this tour to any Beatles fan.

Small house, nicely restored and looked after. Interesting to get a feel for his background and how they would have been easily open for fans

Very small but cosy house with such a great history!! Not only for the Beatles, but one gets a good impression about living in the fifties.

Wonderful to see a photo of Paul shimmying up a drainpipe at the back of the house - and then seeing the actual drainpipe (for late night returns!). NT has gone a long way to decorate the house as per the 60s and it's wonderful to be in the rooms where some of the Beatle hits were written. A bit... More

We tagged on to this visit following a trip to Speke Hall as National Trust members, and we really enjoyed it. The custodians are working hard to ensure that the early life of the Beatles is brought to life in a genuine way.

It was a pleasure to be able to see the home were Paul McCartney spent his youth. Originally photos taken by his brother Mike, of the time when they actually lived at the house are on the walls and... More

Excellent NT guide made this visit a real pleasure. The house was a delight to see. Each room had a story to tell. Brought back many childhood memories.

Well worth going on this tour which takes you into the house of Paul McCartney. Only the National Trust allows this. The guide was very informative and I found the whole experience uplifting.
