About this experience
Experience the cultural legacy of The Beatles in America on this exclusive two-hour tour through Manhattan. Begin at the Ed Sullivan Theater, the site of the band’s groundbreaking U.S. television debut in 1964. Continue to Carnegie Hall, where The Beatles performed two memorable shows. Discover the Plaza Hotel, where fans gathered to greet the band, and stroll through Central Park, where the Beatles first explored New York City after arriving to a raucous press conference at JFK airport.
This trek through Central Park will take us to Strawberry Fields, a serene memorial dedicated to John Lennon. Finally, we will view the historic Dakota building, home to Lennon and Yoko Ono, and reflect on the tragic events surrounding Lennon’s assassination in 1980. This tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the Beatle-mania that shaped an era.
