Roll Up, Roll Up For The Mystery Tour -- Step Right This Way!

Day 1 We meet in the lobby of our London hotel early this afternoon and we will enjoy a panoramic orientation tour of Classic London. Then, onto the Hard Rock Café to begin our venture into Beatles & the UK’s rock history.

What better place to begin than the original Hard Rock Café – we will have a special entrance into their famed Vault (Lennon's 'army' shirt, Kurt Cobain's glasses, Jimi Hendrix's flying V and much more) followed by a welcome dinner.

Accommodation: London (DBB)

 

Day 2 A full day London Beatles tour -

This tour takes you where the walking tours can't! Visit Chelsea and the Kings Road, Kensington, Notting Hill, St John's Wood and ‘still swingin’ Soho along with some outer neighborhoods including Twickenham (Paperback writer & Help! film sites.) And, yes, cameras ready for Abbey Road crossing! (shoes are, of course, optional...)

London Beatles sites include: Brian Epstein house (where he died), Paul - John & Yoko - Ringo homes, Abbey Rd crossing, Apple Boutique, Indica gallery, Saville Rd, "concert on the roof" offices, MPL offices, EMI studios, famous album cover shots, Jane Asher's house where Paul wrote many songs, the hotel where the lads lived when first arrived in London, Jane Asher’s shop, favorite clubs and boutiques including Bag o’ Nails, sites associated with Hard Days Night film and also the Boyd sisters. There is also the Beatles shop on Baker Street where we will stop for your first glimpse at some fab memorabilia.

Tonight, perhaps enjoy a night out on the town in one of the many clubs, pubs and music venues.

Accommodation: London (BB)

 

Day 3 A free day to recover from the night before and to explore the Capitol at your leisure.

Accommodation: London (BB)

 

Day 4 We depart the Capitol and head to England’s ‘hidden’ rock secret, Manchester.

Where do we start with Manchester’s music? Herman's Hermits, Graham Nash and The Hollies, 10CC, Simply Red, Factory Records, Oasis, The Smiths, The Hacienda and Twenty-four Hour party people (Acid House music), Happy Mondays, John Mayall, The Doves, Joy Division, The Buzzcocks, The Bee Gees, Barclay James Harvest, The Verve, The Fall, James, New Order, The Stone Roses, M People, Take That …the list is endless. There must be something in the water!

You'll enjoy a fully-guided tour of the rock sites, stars homes, album cover and lyric references.

Evening free in Manchester – relax or maybe catch an optional concert.

Accommodation: Manchester (BB)

 

Days 5 - 9 --- Beatles Week!

The reason you have come for – Liverpool Beatles Week and the Mathew Street Festival!

You never know who you may meet at Beatles week…Pete Best, Astrid Kircherr, Klaus Voorman, members of the Sutcliffe family are all often in attendance – hey, Yoko might even be there! Even if we don’t have a chance to meet one of the famous friends of the fab four, we will most certainly be rubbing shoulders with many locals with a tale or two to tell about the lads in the early days!

Our intimate and personal tour of the Beatles Liverpool sites will take you where the big bus tours can’t go. After an orientation tour, you will have ample free time to enjoy the festivities of Beatles Week.

Entrances included into the Cavern Club, John’s boyhood home at Mendips, Paul’s boyhood home on Forthlin Road and into the Beatles Story museum.

Our tour of Liverpool Beatles sites include: Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Mathew St, Cavern club, Jacaranda, Grapes, Ye Cracke, St George's Church, boyhood homes & hangouts, Liverpool Art College, and the Albert Dock area (an attraction in itself, boasting many memorabilia shops, great cafes & restaurants, a Tate gallery, Liverpool Life museum - where you can see some of Stuart Sutcliffe’s paintings - and the Maritime Museum.)

Optional ventures to Ringo’s Dingle, Stuart Sutcliffe’s grave, maybe a “ferry ‘cross the Mersey” and further afield into North Wales will also be included on Friday, based upon guest interest.

Accommodation: Liverpool (BB)

 

Day 10 Alas, all good things must come to an end. You can catch your international flight home today from Liverpool or choose to extend your stay.

We are happy to assist you with making onward travel arrangements - rail/domestic UK air to Amsterdam, up to Scotland, touring in neighboring Wales or back to London or Manchester.
