Adam writes… It’s one of the most common questions I’m asked: are your tours suitable for kids? And I’m afraid there’s no one, short answer. Which is why I mark all of my London Music Tours with a content warning…
You can catch-up with my content guide for scheduled London Music Tours HERE. It’s updated regularly
Private and bespoke tours, however, are another matter…
Baby, You Can Join My Tour
More and more often, I’m getting enquiries about family tours for Beatles fans. So for 2025 I’m launching a Beatles With Kids option. This new concept tour has been developed over many years – not only from talking with parents and carers on tours, but also from my experience of raising my own daughter.
When telling the story of The Beatles to your kids, it may be the case that you don’t want the whole drugs and rock’n’roll picture – different parents want to reveal different things to their kids at different times. And it may be the case that you don’t think a walking tour is the place to have that first discussion with your child about hallucinogenic drugs, addiction, overdoses and arrests.
Also, the With Kids option can be made a little bit shorter for those differing attention spans.
So, is this the soppy Disney version? Not at all. We will still hit the high spots of the story (just not the “high” spots): the band’s music, their origin story, the places, the houses, the studios, the theatres. And I’ve put together a special booking form where you can tell me of any special requirement or parameters you’d like to set for your tour.
Private Beatles Tours With Kids can be booked for £120 for groups up to 20 people. For every 10 kids, there must be one adult in the group (not including your tour guide). So if you have eleven under-16’s or more in the group, you’ll need at least 2 adults to accompany (not including your tour guide).
If you have any special requirements or concerns or questions, you can list them in the form below.
Further Reading
If you’d like to explore the story of The Beatles with really young kids, but feel an urban walking tour would be a little over-stimulating, I can recommend the Little Golden Books series. British Beatles fans will spot that they’ve been written with an American audience in mind, but they are a really great intro for 2-5 year-olds. They can also be fun for early independent reading.
