Meet your Guide in front of the St John's wood station, and make a photo at the iconic Abbey Road. Explore the beautiful and quiet neighbourhood of Marylebone, full of mews houses that were horse stables in the past.
Explore a petite rose garden favoured by the band
You will discover how the Beatles brought new teenage fashions: the round-necked Beatles jacket and the ‘mop top’ Beatle haircut. Later on, you will pass through the original ‘Apple store’, and Beatles souvenir shop and discover why the mural with the words ‘Hey Jude’ had to be whitewashed. Continue your way along the park before you arrive where Paul McCartney used to live. Your Guide will show you where "Beatlemania" started as you will walk through the scenes of a wild frenzy that took place wherever the band appeared.
Open a time capsule and imagine yourself in the roaring crowd and think about your favourite songs before you go to the site of their last rooftop concert. See where the Beatles played for the very last time and finish your tour at a local vintage bar!

Really enjoyed my stay, the liverpudlian people were friendly, and my accommodation was very comfortable, and second to none.
Valerie certainly showed us everything Beatles, got to walk in their footsteps and took our photo to prove it. She made sure that we saw everything that would make The Beatles experience important to us, one of our main reasons to visit London. Places that The Beatles lived, worked and interesting history regarding each place. She knew merchandise was important and besides the Apple store took us to another shop that had everything we wanted. Worth an encore.
Our tour guide Alan was knowledgeable and fun. He stopped traffic to take our crossing the road Beatle picture. The pub for lunch was a favorite.
We were vacationing from Seattle - 3 short days in London before heading to Italy. We booked this 3 hr tour which was to start at 2pm. The morning of the tour I was messaged by the guide that it would start one hour later at 3 pm. We arrived at the meeting place about 10 mins early but no one was there. We waited 30 minutes, no one came. At 4:48, the guide text asking where I was (?) I told her I’d been at the meeting place and she asked if I’d like to come back and take the tour just then (I had already taken the $30 Uber ride back to my hotel. She asked if I’d like to take it the following day. I explained that we had other plans and asked if my $560 fee would be returned. It was returned to my credit card that same day but I spent the better part of my day and over $60 on a round trip Uber which of course was gone. But the worst part is the lost time. It was our main event of the day on a short visit. I was disappointed and angry…not emotions you want to deal with on your vacation! Don’t trust this vendor. What a disappointment’
Walking tour for the amount of money spent was a little much. Our guide was not much more knowledgeable than we were regarding the Beatles. If we done our homework we could of Googled the tour spots and done it ourselves.
Fantastic tour guide! I had Valery and she was great. It was fun walking around the town and learning some of the Beatles history, and it was neat getting to see Abbey Road, the apartments they were raised at, and also seeing whwre the Rooftop Concert took place! It was neat getting to see a lot of London as most of the tour is walking. Valery also offered and took a lot of nice photographs which was very much appreciated!
Valerie was great; very personable, knowledge and down to earth. It is SO much more than just a Beatles tour if you do the walking one, you will a ton of London as well. Well Worth it.
Great experience! Valerie was very nice, helpful, on time and had a ton of knowledge on the Beatles and the sites we visited. She found us a great place last minute for afternoon tea that was amazing and even helped up with other sites and restaurants for our trip to Paris later that week. I highly recommend!
Valerie is excellent. Socialable friendly and helped me discover everything I am interested it! Recommend doing this your first day in town as she will help you understand everything about the Beatles and London!
Valery Danko was a delight. She came with energy and knowledge and showed us the way through some of the most historical London spots related to the Beatles. She had particular knowledge of their early history and their ultimate parting of paths. She showed us a lovely place for a neat cocktail and kept us engaged throughout. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for the :"Beatles" experience.
