Tony Maddalone...   I have been a Beatle fan since February 9, 1964. Having family a few miles away from Liverpool, in a town named Leigh, I have had several opportunities to experience the city's unique culture throughout my life. During each visit there, I have gained an increasingly deeper appreciation of the roots of the Beatles, the place they call home. The Beatles' demeanor, especially the their humor, that you see in both 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Help' are characteristic of  the people of Liverpool This becomes very apparent to you during your stay in the city.

I have always been equally awed with Beatle sights in London. The first time I 'crossed over' at Abbey Road is marked as one of the significant events in my life. If you do this once in your life, do it barefoot. I did, on a 30 degree, wet, raw winter day.

To me, The Beatles were a single entity, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. They were the catalyst of the sixties and made it a remarkable time to be alive and now, a time to re-live. 

Perhaps now you can sense why I have such a passion for our tour. There are generations of fans all over the world without their equivalent to a 'Graceland' to retreat back to fond memories. It is our mission to present the Beatles' England to you with authenticity,  thoroughness and respect that every fan deserves. Of course, there is great fun to be had on the way.

Since 1995, I have spent hundreds of hours  planning and doing research to build The Beatle Pilgrimage Tour. In the process, I have become obsessed with delivering the best Beatle, and overall UK, tour of it's kind. Let us bring you back to the sixties. 

Richie Rollo [see 'Richie's Corner']...  Rich brings a whole new dimension to our tour. Not only is he one fine guitar player but I have never met a person as knowledgeable about, not only The Beatles, but the entire British Invasion era [and then some].

We're talking about a guy with [what?] sixteen guitars and a rock memorabilia collection he has to keep in a vault. His knowledge qualifies him as the tour's official historian. Go ahead, ask him a question. He will amaze you as he does me. The stories & information flow out of him continuously during the tour.

Richie's is there to help us separate fact from legend and he's a great host. His guitar will get us rollin' with a few Beatle tunes during nights out in pubs like the Jacaranda.

Pat O'Brien & Gerri Gilberti... Pat & Gerri are our back up hosts that are on hand to host tours when needed. Each of these guys are competent hosts that have lots of experience managing our tour.

Together, we're your hosts on ...The Beatle Pilgrimage Tour  We enjoy what we do.

A tour of the Beatles' England is a pilgrimage that every dedicated Beatle Fan should make at least once in their life.  The tour is for Beatle Fans of all ages to 'come together' on a four star trip that  will guide you through the times during the 60s that resulted in the greatest musical phenomenon of all time. The tour is a relaxing event with just the right mix of sights and entertainment with people that share a common passion for 'the boys'. I will tell you, as I will tell any other tour that considers themselves competition, that there is no better Beatle tour in all the world.

We will personally accompany you on our group tours to ensure your complete satisfaction. We also offer non-escorted, private tours that provides you with an itinerary through The Beatles' Liverpool & London by our professional beatle guides, the best in the business.

A tour group usually consists of no more than 50 people. The size of the group is large enough to meet and mingle with new friends, yet small enough for efficient tour coverage in a casual & relaxed atmosphere and pace. Your privacy is always respected. No rushing about, No 'cattle drive'  tour methods used on the this tour and we believe it to be a great value for your money. The tour is well managed by an experienced staff from both the US & the UK

The tour provides an accurate account and historical insight into the world of The Beatles.  Visit the Liverpool that bred 'Four Lads that shook the World'. The London where the 'lads' matured as musicians and artists.    Every guest  will experience, at least, one emotional moment that will be very special them. Everyone has a different place that brings this on, discover yours.

You will find different variations of the tours we schedule throughout the year. We try to put together a great mix of British attractions that we have found most of guests have enjoyed during our past tours.

For those Beatle memorabilia shoppers, there are plenty of Beatle stops and Beatle shops, and other curios, all along the tour. Additionally, you will have opportunities to visit the open markets in London where 'treasures' can be found. We are constantly  looking for new and interesting Beatle related places to see as well as more traditional British tourist attractions

During the first evening in Liverpool, we invite all our guests to a  'Liverpool Pub Night' banquet which we host on each scheduled tour. This event  gives the tour group an opportunity  to get acquainted with each other before the actual tour activities begin. There is some pub hopping and party festivities during the tour however, alternatives to alcoholic beverages are always available for our young guests and guests that avoid consuming alcohol. Additionally, Vegetarians are always a consideration when planning tour activities.

In addition to the wonderful Beatle sights, other activities, 'side' tours and themes are constantly being added to the tour's itinerary. The standard sights that are seen during every  tour are listed on the Standard Sights   page . Special guest appearances and events are arranged and vary from tour to tour.
