From Beatlemania to their solo years

The tour covers their entire career from 1962 to 1970 plus their solo years, and takes in everywhere from Mayfair and Marylebone to St. John's Wood and Soho.

Your fun and friendly guide will show you John and Yoko's old apartment, Paul McCartney's home where he lived for forty years, Ringo's old flat where Jimi Hendrix once stayed, and the NEMS office once owned by their manager Brian Epstein.

You'll see the EMI building in Manchester Square, the place where they recorded their BBC shows, and a Soho basement club where they once performed live.

You'll also pass by some of the hotels where they wrote their songs, the places where they posed for famous photos, and where they shot some scenes for their movies A Hard Day's Night, Help! and Magical Mystery Tour.

Or how about seeing the shop where they bought their famous Beatle suits? The location of the old Apple Boutique? The art gallery where John met Yoko? Or the place where they met the spiritual Maharishi?

You'll also get to visit the site of their old Apple Office in Savile Row where they played their final gig on the roof, and some of their favourite pubs and clubs like the Scotch of St. James.
