EXCLUSIVE VIDEO:
Click here to see highlights from our walking tour in a one-minute video (Quicktime 5.5 MB)"First generation and second generation Beatle fans in my family got together in New York City and went on Daytrippin's FAB 4 Beatles Tour. It was a two-hour walking tour that led us from early Beatlemania hotels and concert locations to current day Beatle-sighting spots and ended at John Lennon's old haunts near Central Park. The tour, complete with trivia contests, was very informative and we had a blast. "
