Beatles Ale Trail tour in Liverpool
This
is a combination walking tour with 'thirst' stops en route. We will visit up to
5 Beatles related pubs (with leisurely walks in between) as Jackie, our guide,
regales the tales of the Fab Four in their formative years. This is a light
hearted fun tour; courtesy demands that we buy a drink in each pub (Jackie is
not on commission from the pubs; it’s just the proper thing to
do). This "ale trail" photo is from Jackie's website.
Jackie will
meet us at the pier and we will begin the tour at 11 am, with our first stop at
the famous Cavern Club. Here’s
just a bit of history from the Cavern Club:
February 9,
1961: The Beatles first performance at the Cavern Club featured John
Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe with Pete Best on
drums. The Beatles soon established themselves as the Cavern Club’s
signature act. It became the place where their musical identity was forged and
many of their fans maintain the band was its best during those lunchtime gigs,
learning stagecraft through the exchanges with the audience only inches away.
The band were always nostalgic about the Cavern.
We’ll have lunch
around 12:30 at the Philharmonic
for some great pub food!
Our tour will
conclude around 3 pm, leaving you time to explore more of Liverpool on your own
if you wish, or head back to the ship.
Pricing is 160
pounds for the tour; so per person pricing will be determined by the number who
book this tour. There IS a maximum capacity, so please let me know if you want to join us!
