We then explore the early songwriting period from 1957 to 1963, which produced some of the most iconic songs in music history.

 

Our taxi tour begins at the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, where the seeds of their legendary collaboration were sown. You will visit Mendips and 20 Forthlin Road where their early songwriting sessions took place, crafting timeless hits that changed the face of music forever.

 

This tour also includes visits to George’s modest childhood home on Arnold Grove and Ringo’s birthplace on Madryn Street in the Dingle. Learn about their humble beginnings, their early musical influences, and how their unique talents completed the Fab Four, contributing to the richness and diversity of their songwriting.

One of the tour’s highlights is a visit to St. Peter’s Churchyard, where 

Lennon and McCartney first met in 1957. Stand at the very spot where 

music history was made and hear the story of that fateful meeting, 

which marked the beginning of the Beatles’ journey to global stardom.

​

Next, ride through the streets of Penny Lane, the lively neighborhood 

immortalised in one of their most beloved songs. See the barbershop, the bank, and other landmarks that inspired Paul’s vivid lyrics. 

 

You will also visit Strawberry Field, the former Salvation Army children’s

home that sparked John Lennon’s imagination and became a symbol

of the Beatles’ creativity.

​
