Bonnie H, Nov 2016
We had a wonderful, fact-packed tour with a guide who was engaging and made the most of the visit given the early sunset 5 pm. The tour uses Uber cars, but the same driver for the entire time so once the car comes it's very smooth. There was an initial slight delay in getting the car, which others have noted, but once we got on the way it was well worth it.

We had a great tour with a very knowledgeable guide who took us to all of the must see location in the city that we had hoped to see....and even some that were a pleasant surprise! We had a great uber driver who was very accommodating as we took lots of photos and spent plenty of time at each site.

Susan R, Aug 2016
The tour guide was great, knew his stuff and more, and was was right on time and very friendly. The actual tour was uncomfortable to say the least! We waited for a short time for an Uber driver so no luxury vehicle as advertised and this driver was unaware of the private tour situation before he got to us. He was quite irritated and made it known. Very uncomfortable situation!

Martin, Jul 2016
It is a very entertaining tour if you are a Beatles fan! You get to see all the landmarks of their presence in London. It was easy to cordinate the appointment with the guide. We were picked and dropped at our hotel which was very convenient. However the car with the chauffeur is rented for the tour and the chauffeur had some coordinating issues with the guide, which made us waiting in a few occasions. But all in all, a very good tour.

Faith W, Jul 2016
Disappointing! The driver was 40 minutes late. The car was a Ford Focus. The radio was never turned on. I was hoping to be immersed in Beatles. Beatles music playing would have been a good start. The driver seemed to have more knowledge of the places to go than the tour guide. Not recommended.

Martin W, May 2016
Guide was fantastic and full of so much information. Took me to all the key spots. Only issue was I could not make contact prior to the tour for the hotel pick up. Every number provided through Viator was either no answer or recorded message. So could not get hotel pick up and was not sure tour was even going to happen. Went to designated meeting point and it did happen in the end.

Roy S, Mar 2016
This tour was amazing. We were shown so many places we had no idea were even there. What really made our trip was out guide. He had so much knowledge of all the hidden away places and didn't rush us. Well worth the money we paid.

A bit disappointed with the lack of contact before the tour began. We were informed to ring Void Travel 2/3 days on the provided contact number prior to our tour date to organise a pick up point, which we tried to do several times without any success. Then tried to google a different contact number again without any success. Eventually we got onto Viator who said they would pass on our pick up from Hotel details to Void Travel. On the day of the tour, not knowing if we were being picked up or not, we were picked up by Mark our guide for the tour and a driver who 10 mins into the tour informed Mark that he had to be gone by a certain time. Mark then had to organise another car/driver to come meet us and continue on for the rest of the tour. Mark was a very good tour guide, very informative, friendly and polite and it was interesting going around seeing all the Beatle attractions, but I dont think it was worth the money we were charged for the time we were gone for. I do understand there was only two of us on the tour, and it would take longer to get around if it was a bigger group. I wouldn't recommend it as a must do tour. Bit disappointed.

JOY S, Jun 2015
We were very disappointed with this tour. The guide was nice but not very knowledgeable on Beatle facts. He had a list of stops on his iPhone and called an Uber car which dropped us off at first stop - then left us! we got another Uber but we could have done the tour ourselves that way! A waste!

Leo S, Feb 2015
We were disappointed. The guide and driver were very nice however, the advertised 3 hour tour only lasted an hour and twenty minutes. The only really interesting part was Abbey Road. The tour is way overpriced.

Sarah Rose was a brilliant chauffeur, with excellent knowledge of the subject. We all enjoyed the tour very much and would thoroughly recommend Viator and Sarah Rose.

valeriejane7, Jun 2014
Initially, I had difficulty in contacting the local London agent prior to the day of our scheduled tour. I started three days prior from several different telephones in London. It would ring and then nothing! We got up on the scheduled day and traveled to one of the locations noted on the confirmation. It was quite stressful, as I was looking forward to the tour and wasn't sure that anyone would show up! I even called the U.S. number provided and they were not able to get through. Finally, close to the start of the tour - someone did pick up. I was told that the driver was there and waiting. They had to describe his car and we were able to meet up. So the initial start was very distressing and appeared surprisingly unorganized. I was lucky that I decided to go to that location even though I wasn't sure it was the correct one. However, once we met up with our tour guide Gary - It became an awesome trip. He was extremely friendly and accommodating! We had a wonderful time! My only suggestion would be to give the tour guides the telephone number of the person who has booked the tour or at the very least to pick up the phone in London when a customer calls! Again, our hats off to Gary who turned an initially very stressful beginning into an awesome time!

Relaxing, fun way to become reacquainted with the city and learn some Beatles history. Great young driver with evident enthusiasm for the Beatles.

Irene O, Feb 2014
Wasn't really sure what to expect but apart from being 25mins late picking us up it was a great tour. Both our guides were very knowledgable and made the tour fun and interesting. I certainly would recommend this tour if you are a Beatles fan. My husband was pleased with this belated Xmas gift.

Anthony P, Jan 2014
We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful tour through London. Our tour guide, Gill, was terrific! She was super knowledgable about the Beatles music and history, and did a great job showing us around so many important sites in the Beatles' history! She allowed us time to take photos wherever possible, and took photos of us in front of many famous Beatles sites, such as the Apple "Roof-top concert" building, and of course, the Abbey Road cross-walk and Studios! We really liked how she had photos available on her phone to match each site with how it looked back then. Gill also shared interesting information about other musicians who lived in London in the 60's. At the end of our tour, she dropped us off at the destination of our choosing, and even recommended a great place for lunch, which was excellent! Thanks Gill, for a very memorable tour!

There was no music! Also, chauffeur would be a stretch. Private tour would be a sure! We enjoyed it overall.
