In The Streets Of The Beatles

OVERVIEW

Enjoy the ultimate tour of the hometown haunts and early places that helped shape the Fab Four, inspiring their sound and lyrics. They took a long and winding Mersey-side road to fame, and you’ll follow right along. This magical history tour begins with a drive to the Beatles Story, an immersive multimedia exhibition devoted to John, Paul, George and Ringo’s lives and times. You’ll see archival photos that just recently came to light – and gain thrilling insights on their childhoods, how they met, and how they led a British Invasion that changed the world of music forever. Moving through the exhibits, you’ll relive the screaming throngs welcoming the band to America, hear music roaring out of the Cavern Club, even go behind the scenes at Abbey Road Studios and through the psychedelic era with Sgt. Pepper. Later, on a walk along Mathew Street, you’ll see shops laden with Beatles memorabilia, along with the actual Cavern Club where the Beatles performed hundreds of shows in the early ‘60s. There’s even a drive down Penny Lane and past Strawberry Field, an orphanage where John attended garden parties as a child. No question, this is the ideal Beatlemaniac experience.
