About this activity

Discover the Beatles’ story on this private full-day tour from Manchester, featuring exclusive access to the Casbah Coffee Club and a visit to Strawberry Field.

Go beyond standard tours with extended time inside the Casbah Coffee Club—hosted by the Best family—where the Beatles first performed and their story truly began, long before the Cavern Club.

Follow in the footsteps of the Beatles with photo stops outside their childhood homes, schools and Penny Lane, before experiencing the Cavern Club and Mathew Street.

There is time to enjoy a drink or lunch at the historic Philharmonic Dining Rooms—John Lennon’s local and featured in Paul McCartney’s Carpool Karaoke.

Travel in a luxury vehicle with door-to-door service, with music, visuals and expert storytelling bringing the journey to life.
