In my own write....about me!

Hi there, I’m Jackie Spencer , a native Liverpudlian ,and Liverpool tour guide since 1995. I am a Blue Badge Guide* for my City. This is the top qualification in tour guiding as recognised Worldwide. I’m also one of Liverpool's few OFFICIAL Beatleguides*. I became a guide in 1995, then established private taxi tours for Beatle fans way back in 1998. This won me the title of Merseyside Small Tourism Business Of The Year. It came about after working on the Magical Mystery Tour bus for several years. I realised that some fans wanted more then just a coach tour and so set up the first organised private taxi tours of The Beatles Liverpool. Despite what you may read elsewhere, my private taxi tours set up over 10 years ago were the originals – as now copied by many. I then decided to ‘up the game’ again and go for discreet exec tours in top spec vehicles. Simply the best Liverpool Beatle Tours money can buy. I am widely recognised as a Beatle expert, and was chosen to work with Cirque Du Soleil when they researched the ‘Love’ show. I have also worked with many VIP’s and celebrities, have advised film & television companies including MTV & VH1 and have appeared in several Beatle documentaries. MOST IMPORTANTLY......I am a Beatle Fan with an obvious love of the Fab Four and the wonderful town where WE were born. I share their outlook, their optimism and their typical irreverent senser yumer (think about it!). I'd love to share my city with you!
From me to you!
Jackie

*These awards are the best you can get. By all means shop around for the ideal tour to suit, but you would be wise to check your guides qualifications and experience before committing. I recommend you ask the following:
1. What GUIDING qualification do they have, if any
2. Are they licensed and insured to guide
3. How long have they been guiding - not driving, GUIDING!
