Connecticut-based tour operators Liverpool Productions celebrate their thirtieth anniversary in 2013 with guaranteed entry INSIDE Abbey Road Studios for the first time in a decade.


The "Magical History Tour" is an 11-day vacation for fans to Liverpool, London and Henley, from August 18-August 28. The price is still only $2499 per person complete, or only $2999 including airfare from JFK. 


In Liverpool, visit every imaginable Beatles site, plus enjoy all the exclusive events the group is privy to. Liverpool Productions is a sister company to Cavern City Tours, ensuring admissions to everything, up-close seats at concerts and V.I.P. perks to events during Beatle Week.


In London, visit all the Beatles landmarks and - for the first time in 10 years - not only visit Abbey Road Studio 2 but "get back" inside to partake in an actual recording session. No other tour group has ever have held actual recording sessions inside Abbey Road. 


In Henley, visit George Harrison's home, Friar Park ("Crackerbox Palace") and enjoy an afternoon in this very beautiful British seaside village.




Tour participants also have had the unique opportunity of meeting notables from the Beatles history. Special guests in the past reads like a Beatles who's-who, including Pete Best, Cynthia Lennon, Mike McCartney, John Lennon's sister Julia, George's sister Louise Harrison, former Apple recording artist Jackie Lomax, former McCartney bandmembers Denny Laine-Denny Siewell-Laurence Juber-Steve Holly-Hamish Stuart-Wix-Abe Laboriel Jr.-Rusty Anderson, Beatles first manager Allan Williams, Billy J. Kramer, Sid Bernstein, Gerry Marsden, May Pang, Badfinger's Joey Molland, Klaus Voorman, Astrid Kirscher, Tony Bramwell, Sam Leach, authors Mark Lewisohn, Ray Coleman, Spencer Leigh & David Bedford, plus others no longer with us such as Beatles chauffeur Alf Bicknell, Cavern DJ Bob Wooler, Ringo's step-dad Harry, John's Uncle Charlie Lennon and former Apple general manager (and Beatles buddy) Alistair Taylor. They were just a few of the celebrities we have met while on our vacations.


Oh yes, did we forget to brag that on past tours and promotions we have had close encounters with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Julian Lennon, Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison and George Martin?! 


Some of America's finest Beatle tribute bands join the tour too: 1964 The Tribute, The Fab Four, Rain, British Export, The Return, Penny Lane, Fab Faux, Tim Piper, BeatleMania, A Hard Night's Day, BritishMania, Instant Karma, The MerseyBeat, Abbey Road, Working Class Hero, American English and many more -- not to mention bands from all over the rest of the world who come to Liverpool to perform for us! No other organized tour brings along bands, no other tour generates as much fun, and no other tour is recognized by the city of Liverpool. 


For 2013, travelers will once again have the added option of staying over at the Hard Day's Night Hotel around the corner from the Cavern Club.


Charles F. Rosenay!!! of Orange, CT, and Daniel Levine of Bethany, CT, partners and organizers, host the tour, and they have been honored to be welcomed into Liverpool Town Hall by the city's Lord Mayor. No other tour group has received such a distinguished honor. 


The response to MMTour 2013 and the tour's return INSIDE Abbey Road Studios is incredible, and a sell-out is expected. Fans have been asking for entrance inside Abbey Road for years.
