Quotes and testimonials about London Beatles Walks
| Beatles
'Magical Mystery
Tour Walk' has been called 'Quintessential
London' by Fodor's London 2004
- along with The Globe Theatre, Changing of the
Guard, Houses of Parliament, Speakers' Corner, and
the Tower of London.
Fodor's
say of the walk: 'This wonderful stroll
down memory lane offered by The Original London
Walks includes The London Palladium, No 3 Saville
Row - the Fab Four's London headquarters - and
Abbey Road. Yeah Yeah Yeah.'

| 'One
person who has been something of a flag waver for
the Beatles London has been Richard Porter: a likeable
thirty-something, whose passion and knowledge of
the group are apparent from the moment you meet
him. Richard opens up each building's Beatles connection
and history with vivid detail and anecdotal information.
Without doubt, he is the authority concerning the
group's movements within the capital during the
1960s.' - Beatles Monthly April 2002 |

'If
you picture yourself on a boat on a river with
tangerine trees and marmalade skies, Richard Porter
can't help you. But if you are in London and feeling
nostalgic for the Beatles era then Porter, president
of the London Beatles Fanclub, is the man to see.
He has devised, and entertainingly conducts, a
Beatle Walking Tour of London.' - Globe
and Mail - Canada

| 'Richard
delighted in telling us of the time he led a tour
past Abbey Road and Paul McCartney, the cute one
himself, came down the stairs of the studio and
signed a few autographs.' - The Providence
Sunday Journal |

'Richard's
appetite for Beatlefacts is both daunting and
inspirational. Even when standing on a dull corner
of 94 Baker St, where the Apple Shop (an employment
agency now) briefly and somewhat controversially
came to psychedelic life back in 1967, Richard
blossoms with sheer likeability, his enthusiasm
fertilised by a rush of information....the man
is unassailable, a pro. Agog we listen, unswerving,
rapt.' - The Scotsman

Dear
Richard,
From
all of us here at MJI, I would like to extend a big
THANK YOU to you for helping make our Abbey Road remote
as successful and exciting as it was. Starting the radio
stations off with your Beatles tour could not have been
a better way to introduce them to London. When we saw
George Martin stepping out of the Abbey Road Studios
within four minutes of your tour, I was beginning to
think you had the whole thing rigged! What great timing!
Also,
your assistance with booking the talent at the remote
itself was invaluable. I have had nothing but compliments
from both the radio stations and sponsors fo the event.
We would be delighted to work with you again. - Anita
Jacobs, Event Manager - MJI Broadcasting

Richard
Porter, the founder of the London Beatles Fan Club and
holder of the "Beatles Brain of Britain" title,
acted as our tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about
Beatles culture, Richard was perfect for the job.
As
an avid Beatles fan, I can say this experience is truly
one to remember. I was raised on Beatles music and have
since learned to appreciate the group's legendary work,
but never before have I undergone such a marvelous experience
of seeing several of the band's most famed locations
first-hand. - Lynn
Wallace , FS News.com

I
did both of Richard Porter's walking tours on my pilgrimage
to England. They were both fantastic. Richard truly
knows his stuff and this lifelong Beatle fan was easily
impressed. Plus, an added bonus is meeting other Beatle
fans from around the world while on the tours. Highly
recommended! - Ed Rascati

we will hold very dear in our memories. Andrew so enjoyed
your gifted and talented tour guidance, and we wanted

efforts.' - The Cohens, USA
