4 nights in Liverpool & 4 nights in London to experience the history of The Beatles. Great guided tours & added attractions.
Itinerary
Day 1
Liverpool Hotel Check in - After a cuppa and a fresher upper, guests are invited on a short walk to Mathew Street and a few exciting Beatle sights. The tour begins. We'll then be off to a bit of a chat and a 'real' british pub meal. A few Beatles sing-along tunes before it's off to bed. There is a tea tray available in your room. For those night owls check out the evening's venue at The Cavern
Day 2
The day includes a visit to The Casbah Coffee Club which features an exclusive tour of the club narrated by a member of the [Pete] Best family. You will hear a story of The Beatles' 'true beginnings' directly from the source. On occasion, Pete has known to stop by to say hello to the group, take some photos & sign autographs. You are in direct contact with the people that can give you eye witness accounts of the real Beatle story. The tales will amaze you. On display for your viewing pleasure are many of the genuine Beatle artifacts that the Best family holds so dearly.
We'll stop for a box lunch at St. Peter's Parish Hall at the actual location of the first meeting of Lennon & McCartney. We'll see Beatle birthplaces, schools and childhood homes.
Day 3
If you are not scheduled for the National Trust 'inside' tour of Lennon & McCartney's childhood homes then
Your host will provide you with a token for admission to 'The Beatle Story Experience'. This is one of the most popular Beatle attractions in the city. Your host will guide you from your hotel, through Mathew Street to Albert Dock. Along with 'The Beatle Story Experience', there are great shops and the Maritime Museum is terrific. If it is a clear day, you may want to 'carpe diem' the opportunity to take a ferry ride on the Mersey. The view is spectacular and the ferry dock is a very short walk from Albert Dock.This is a great time to embrace Liverpool at your leisure. A stroll down Mathew St. to the many shops is a Beatle fans paradise. A half day trip to nearby Chester always delights. Chester is a 1/2 hour train ride from Liverpool and the station is directly across from your hotel. Your hosts are available to help you with travel details

Day 5
Today the tour group says good-bye to Liverpool and hello to The Beatle's LondonDeluxe coach directly to some fab Beatle sights in the city. First stop, Roll over Beethoven's manuscripts and go directly to the original Beatle song manuscripts. Not quite the maticulous work of Beethoven but it seemed to work for them. In this very posh area of London are the sacred grounds of Abbey Road Studios. We'll follow Paul's footsteps from his home to his daily workplace. The post office is still there where Brian Epstein ran to from the studios to send off a good news telegram to the boys in Hamburg. We'll stop for a drink at the Abbey Road Cafe, the only location you will find official Abbey Road merchandise.Dinner Party at The London Hard Rock Cafe. The London Hard Rock Cafe is the original. It opened as a place for rockers like Eric Clapton & Keith Moon to have a drink. Eric gave the owner a guitar to hang on the wall and the rest is history. The memorabilia contains some of the finest pieces of rock history you will ever see.
Day 6
Our 2 - 2.5 hour walk of The Beatles' Central London, begins in your hotel lobby. It includes a stroll past many locations made famous by The Beatles during the peak of Beatlemania. [As a matter of fact, one such location is where the term 'Beatlemania' originated]. It's a casual walk and plenty of time to make a few shop stops. For you musicians, a stroll down London's 'tin pan alley' is a great experience Mini-Coach tour of The Beatles Central London - Many of the central London Beatle sights are scattered throughout London. Our experience in dealing with this great city is the use of mini coaches. Just the right size to get through those London streets to your Beatle destination. This portion of the tour will reward you with many memorable Beatle sights. There are also a few 'buried treasure' to discover during the day.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
