Beatles Walking Tour of London
Description
We start off at probably the most famous road crossing in the world at Abbey Road, just a few feet from the Abbey Road Studios then visit the home of Sir Paul McCartney who has lived there for over 50 years. A short journey on the tube will takes us to posh and fancy Mayfair and he will will visit various homes and places important to the story of The Beatles including the offices where many of them married, the former home of John Lennon then to the only home where they all lived after arriving from Liverpool. To Piccadilly to see the location of their final public performance before walking through the vibrant district of Soho which was & still is renowned for its music and entertainment to see where The Beatles got some of their memorable outfits made, where their famous logo was designed and much more. Throw in a touch of the Rolling Stones, a smattering of David Bowie, the chance to visit parts of London off the usual tourist routes & it all makes for a great tour.

Great historical perspective of the evolution of music during this era. To see the various locations of provenance was fun.
Wonderful one on one guided tour, guide was very knowledgeable enjoyed the additional information of other things in the city
If you are into the history of the Beatles and other bands in the 60’s & 70’s, this is the tour to take. Kevin has so much knowledge, not just about bands, but about everything London. It was a pleasure to have taken this tour with Kevin who is so passionate about history. Enjoyed this tour immensely.
This tour was phenomenal! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable of the music history as well as the overall history of the area.
Our tour guide was Kevin. My husband and I can honestly say he was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Kevin was extremely knowledgeable. He had pictures to share from the sites we saw. He even included some music industry locations that were fascinating.
Kevin was amazing! We learned a lot about the Beatles and London! We highly recommend this tour! We ❤️ Kevin!
Kevin was very knowledgeable about the Beetles as well as everything about the history of music and London
I highly recommend this tour especially if Kevin is your tour guide. This gentleman’s passion for history truly shows in the amount of information he shared with me during our tour. I signed up for this tour expecting only Beatles related stuff to be discussed with me but Kevin proved to me that London is truly a city so rich in history. Not only did we discuss the Beatles but we also went over other highly influential figures in British music, political, military and literary history based on the numerous city streets and alleys we walked. In the almost 4 hours I spent with Kevin, there never truly was a dull moment.
Thankyou for your amazing review! I'm thrilled to hear that you had such a good time. Kevin is a huge music fan and it really shows. I'm so glad that you had such a good time with him.
What a fun tour! Kevin did an amazing job sharing his Beatles knowledge, as well as other info about London. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for your kind review Carol, it really means a lot to us. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your Beatles tour with Kevin!
Amazing tour with Kevin. We enjoyed all the rock and roll history stops and the in-depth review of all things Beatles! Kevin also helped us get used to riding the Tube. Kevin personalizes the tour so that you get more than you hoped for!
Thanks for your great review of our Beatles Walking Tour. I'm so glad you had such great day with Kevin and became Tube travel experts as a little bonus. Kevin was so happy to read your review and says thank-you, as do I!
