“I enjoyed sharing such a special experience. I felt like a kid when we boarded the coach to depart for Liverpool.
I had dreamed of Liverpool ever since the Beatles crossed the Altantic and became famous in the States. It was awesome
to see their homes, the Cavern, the Empire, and spend time with Julia and Pete. I hope to do it again...and to cross paths
with everyone!”
All the Best,

“We usually travel independently and this was our first group tour. Thanks to all of you, we will happily remember it forever.
As with most group tours, people have a tendency to interact with some of the group members more frequently that with others.
We feel we were fortunate in getting to know almost everyone during our 12 days and thank you all for sharing not only your
Beatle information with us, but also details about your lives outside of Beatlemania. We enjoyed hearing about your professions,
your children and grandchildren, husbands, wives, significant others and your pets. For those with whom we didn't spend extended
time, we hope that our paths cross again on another Beatles trip. We both say that you, our friends, were the highlight of this trip.
Oh yes, the music was great, whether it was in Hamburg or Liverpool. We were privileged to share our time (and bus) with the bands "Penny
Lane" and "Yellow Submorons." Meeting (and hearing) the likes of Tony Sheridan, Mike Pinder, Gerry Marsden and Pete Best and
his brothers, as well as the other pioneers of the Liverpool sound, was indeed something to treasure. The concerts by the other tribute
bands (and ours) showcased just how popular, influential and pervasive the Beatles have been and continue to be worldwide. And to think we
were at the heart of where it all began in both countries! Our time with Julia Baird and her cordiality toward all of us was unparalleled.
We felt that each new day brought experiences that surpassed the previous day. The tours brought us insights (and accesses) that none of us
could have discovered on our own and we thank Charles, Danny, Karen, Rene and our other guides.
We continue to talk about our trip and found it so memorable that we are planning on a second visit in the near future. We hope that we will
see some of you there and, be sure, the rest of you will be with us in memory then and in the future.”
All the best!

“We were blown away that our expectations were exceeded on this year's tour. Every stop was unique and beautiful. The main highlights for
us were crossing Abbey Road, roaming around the grounds of the beautiful Chiswick Estate and visiting Friar's Park. London was full of Beatle
sites at every turn and Liverpool was alive with Beatlemania 2006! Our very special thanks to all who were involved in making this a truly
memorable trip. We will always cherish the memories and new friends made along the way. We will be joining you again on another Magical Tour!”

“If you have ever wanted to 'see' the places of your dreams, this is the answer to your prayers! You'll have the opportunity to see all of
the Liverpool sites you've likely been reading about all these years. A truly MAGICAL Mystery Tour indeed!”

“My memories of being on the tour with Julia remains the most special, and I can tell you that his has raised my sense of connected-ness with
The Beatles. Thanks for your patience and hard work in bringing all of that together. I enjoyed all of the lovely Liverpudlians and Londoners that
I met along the way. I'd love to ride again...”

“I can't tell you how much fun & pleasure I had on the tour. It was better than I expected in every way. Charles, Danny, Rene, Richard

“Thanks for coordinating a well organized "Beatles 40th Anniversary" tour celebration in the 3 cities and most of all for making it
a fun time for all!! I had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone who loves The Beatles as much as I do (and anyone who has never
been out of this country). This experience has enriched my life so much and I'm glad to have been a part of the group. I hope you guys and
Liverpool Productions keep it up so that everyone can see and learn how important the Beatles are in our history.”

“Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful tour. You truly covered a lot of Beatles-related sites for us! I had a stupendous time. There certainly
was an interesting cross-section of society in our group! We miss our nightly concerts and the visit to the hotel bar before bed!! Our families
are bored silly by the replay of our day-by-day activities, not to mention countless photos of doors and street signs! Thanks again for
organizing such a wonderful tour and your obvious concerns on our behalf.”

“My boyfriend and I went on your and it was incredible! It was our first trip overseas and International Tours and Events (Liverpool
Productions) made sure everything went smoothly. We saw some amazing Beatles sites. London was great. Liverpool was awesome! The music
was incredible and we were given tickets for some great shows. We will definitely be back next year.”

“My father and I were on the MMTour and had a blast! London and Liverpool are indescribable!! To see all the places you've only heard about

“I want to let you know that I had a wonderful time on the trip. I have so many memories now. Just getting to walk around in Liverpool was
great. I appreciate all you did for me on the trip; finding room for me at such short notice was very nice of you. I was diagnosed with breast
cancer 3 days before we left on the trip, and I had surgery the day after we got home. I want everyone to know that going on the trip with
everyone helped me forget my problems and just enjoy my time there. Knowing what this made it much more special. Thank you again.”

plus.”

“I thoroughly had a Beatleful time - there were 1st generation fans and an enjoyable group of younger fans. The time we spent at
the Casbah with Pete was the Best. As for the tourguides, Rene was very pleasant in Amsterdam, Richard gave an absolute awesome tour of
London (especially the bus portion in seeing things I haven't seen before and always wanted to see, and Eddie Porter's Liverpool MMTou was great
as usual. Thank you again Charles and Danny for everything.”
Ann Van Overeem,

“I just wanted to let you know that I had an absolute blast on the trip. I could not have imagined it going any better than it did. I had to
recover when I got home, as there were some pretty late nights. I forgot how much I like to party!!! I haven't been up that late that many nights
in a row since college. I feel like I should say that I'm getting too old for this stuff, but you will never hear those words coming out of my
mouth - It was too much fun!!”
Gail Finck,

“The tour was a dream comes true! For the first time, a chance to see
something new, but also revisit the music of your past. In light of all the fear and confusion that we live in today, in a world that has seemingly
gone mad, being back in touch with the Beatles, with the spirit and positive meaning that their music represented, helps me deal with today's
reality. To bond with other Beatles fans for nearly 2 weeks is an unforgettable experience.”

“When I was 7 years old my brother and I would jump up and down on my parents' mattress while singing "from me to you" and
"please please me". I picked up the guitar at age 10 and at 48 years I am still going at it. You have helped to bring these mythic
cities within my view. And you made it rather easy. I am grateful to you... yeah, yeah, yeah!”
Sincerely,
Frank Adams,

“Dear Charles and Gang,
I wanted to take this time to tell you how much my sons, John and Joseph and I enjoyed our Magical History Tour 2004 of Hamburg, Germany,
London, and Liverpool last August. It was an experience that we will always cherish and we want to thank all of you from the bottom of
our hearts for providing us with this wonderful opportunity."
Our memories of this adventure which took us to the locales that helped launch the musical careers of the Beatles will never be forgotten.
One can never forget the infamous street in Germany, the Reeperbahn, lined with "ladies of the night" where I had to shield two handsome
sons from the ladies that were hoping to score a willing customer.  And the boys sure got a kick out of watching the T.V. shows Full
House and Spongebob in German!"
Our memories of London are like living a dream. Were we really there? We only wished that we had more time to visit as it was filled with so
many awesome sites to see. I remember being in awe the first time that I spotted Big Ben. It was so beautiful. Being drenched in the London rain at
Buckingham Palace was so much fun! And to think, that was the only time we didn't take our umbrellas! The "Twist & Shout" Party in
London's original Hard Rock Café was a blast! Danny and Charles, you guys really rock! You guys were really strokin' to the music on top of
that table!
And Charles, thank you for taking my son, Joseph into "The Vault" at the Hard Rock Café. He really enjoyed seeing the memorabilia
of his guitar "heroes."
Our week in Liverpool was filled with so many places to visit. So much to do in so little time! From Strawberry Field to Penny Lane, the Beatles homes, birthplaces, schools, etc. It was overwhelming, but in a
nice way! We really enjoyed watching the Beatle Tribute bands but not one could compare to Our Fabulous Fab Four! Watching them perform at the
Cavern Club with no air conditioning, practically no ventilation, surrounded by smokers and drinkers really put into perpective of how the Beatles
really "paid their dues" as performers. It was quite an experience for ALL OF US! And I want to thank you all, Charles, Danny, Karen
and the Fab Four for providing that ultimate experience for us! This 50-year old woman is quite proud of herself for surviving the "Cavern
Club experience." I even had to ward off some Scottish dude who tried to pick up on me at the club. Could you imagine? I guess because it
was kinda dark in the club. ( He He!) My sons constantly tease me about that!
My sons and I often reflect on our trip and we long to go back to revisit London and Liverpool. Joseph often dwells on the fact that he didn't
get enough time to visit that street lined with Guitar Stores! And John saw a few suits in the windows that he was interested in, but time did
not allow us to visit those stores.
We have always been a close-knit family but this trip really "bonded" us even closer! I'm proud to admit that I share the love
of music and history with my sons as well as our admiration of the Beatles, the greatest group in history! I also wanted to add that we made a
lot of great new friends on the tour that we still keep in contact with.
So once again, Charles and Gang, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of us on our Magical History Tour! I highly recommend
this tour for Beatle Fans all over the world! So make your reservation and roll up for The Mystery Tour!”
Take care,
JoAnn Chiles, John Navarro, Joseph Navarro
