Quick answer
The short answer. The walking tour at $42 is the clear starting point: 2,345 reviews at 5.0. For the Abbey Road crossing photo, the $350 private taxi tour stops there. For the most Beatles sites in one trip, the $423 black taxi tour lists over 30.
Walk or ride
The walking tour is the one group option and the one that is not only about the Beatles. Its listing names hidden studios where David Bowie, Queen and Jimi Hendrix recorded, and traces where The Stones and The Beatles began, in two hours through the city streets.
The five cab tours split into two kinds. Three are Beatles tours. The $350 private taxi tour visits sites where the band lived, worked and fell in love, and stops at Abbey Road Studios for a photo on the crossing from the album cover. The $423 tour lists over 30 Beatles sites in central London: Abbey Road, Trident Studios, the homes of John, Paul and Ringo and the site of the rooftop concert. The $659 tour follows the Fab Four to where they lived, worked and played.
Two are rock tours with the Beatles as one part. The $420 private black cab tour includes Abbey Road Studios and the homes of Hendrix, Page and Freddie Mercury. The $659 taxi tour names places linked to the Rolling Stones, Hendrix and Queen, Tin Pan Alley and the spot where Pink Floyd let off their flying pigs.

Is it worth it?
Per hour, the walk costs $21.00. The cab tours cost $116.67 an hour for the Abbey Road tour, $141.00 for the 30-site tour and $164.75 for the two four-hour tours. None of the cab listings says whether its price is per person or per group, so check before you divide it by your party.
The walk has the weight of reviews: 5.0 from 2,345. The five cab tours are rated 4.8 to 5.0, on 27 to 78 reviews each.
So, honestly: if the Beatles are part of a wider love of British rock, the $42 walk covers the most bands for the least money. If the Beatles are the reason for the trip, a cab tour reaches Abbey Road and the homes, which the walk does not name. The rest of the city is on 68 tours compared.
