It hardly seems credible but 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the world’s greatest rock’n’roll band. Whether you’re a long-time follower, or newly come to the band and want to know and understand the history and tradition, this is the tour for you!

Our tour offers a great way to see parts of London you’d not otherwise get to; it’s sightseeing with a difference! London suburbs visited include Twickenham, Richmond and Ealing, Chelsea, central London and Soho. We discover the earliest roots of the band members and follow them through the early years. You’ll see Edith Grove, the first apartment shared by Brian, Mike and Keith, and also a number of their later solo ‘pads’; where Mick lived with Marianne, Bianca and Jerry, Keith with Anita and where Brian was ‘busted’. Locations for seminal events are explored; where Bill and Charlie were auditioned, where Mick first played at the Ealing Blues Club, the sites of the Crawdaddy Clubs, the Hyde Park gig, recording studios and management offices, locations for Mick’s film ‘Performance’ and their first gigs sites. You’ll see the location of their first recording sessions and hear the stories behind some of their most memorable songs like ‘19th Nervous Breakdown’, ‘Street Fighting Man’ and ‘I’m a Man’. See where Mick couldn’t always get what he wanted! You’ll see where famed publicity shots and album covers were taken and learn about the darker side to their history; the drug busts, the girlfriends, the deaths.

There are over 50 Stones-related sites on this fully-guided, comprehensive tour, including ‘Bill Wyman’s ‘Sticky Fingers’ restaurant with its unique and unsurpassed collection of memorabilia.

Throughout our day we make full use of our DVD and CD playing facilities to watch and listen to historic performances. And with an expert Rolling Stones guide to accompany you throughout, you can expect a memorable day of historical information and fun!

Windsor Castle
For the first of our Royal Residences, we head out to Windsor Castle, home to the Royal Family for 900 years and still an official residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Windsor is the oldest inhabited castle in the world - it's proud, strong walls dominate the delightful town that has grown around the castle over the years.

EVAN EVANS SELECT - The Choice is Yours:

or
Join our free walking tour of Windsor to see the precincts of the Castle, the cobbled streets and many historic buildings dating back to the 17th century.

Runnymede
Our next stop is at Runnymede, the site where King John met his barons in 1215 and agreed to seal the Magna Carta - a document that was to have a profound influence on rights and freedoms, not only in England, but across much of the civilised world.

Hampton Court Palace & Gardens
Perhaps the most spectacular Royal Palace in England, Hampton Court was built by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 1500s. It later became King Henry VIII's principal residence and remained the centre of royal and political life. Visitors can see King Henry VIII's Great Hall and the unmissable Tudor Kitchens, which remain largely unchanged since the 16th century and no doubt were used to cater for raucous banquets. Hampton Court is probably most famous for its beautiful gardens and the Hedge Maze maze, which has entertained children for over 300 years.

EVAN EVANS SELECT - The Choice is Yours:
Take the opportunity to visit the amazing Hampton Court Palace - Henry VIII's State Apartments with their exquisite tapestries and paintings, and the unmissable Tudor Kitchens.*

Escorted guided tour and live commentary en route.....

Wales’ largest fortress, the 13th-century Caerphilly Castle, one of the greatest surviving medieval castles in Britain. With its massive gatehouses and water defences, its design heavily influenced the course of medieval architecture and is one of the truly great strongholds of medieval Europe. Working replicas of siege engines are on display. Guided tour of the castle.

The Brecon Beacons National Park is a jewel in the crown of the UK's protected landscapes. It boasts some of the most spectacular upland formations in southern Britain, yet still remains one of the UK's best kept secrets. We travel along the mountain road through the village of Ystradfellte, descend into the head of the scenic Senni valley. The tour delivers diverse landscapes from lush wooded valleys and gentle rolling hills to craggy mountains and imposing reservoirs, and grazing Welsh Black cattle, Welsh Mountain ponies and plenty of sheep.

Lunch stop in Brecon, a visit to the cathedral, then to the Libanus Visitors' Centre, built on the ancient common of Mynydd Illtud, offering superb views over the common to the Beacons and Fforest Fawr, and Pen-y-Fan, the highest mountain in southern Britain.

The historical market town of Brecon, positioned on the banks of the River Usk and confluence of the Rivers Honddu and Tarrell Brecon evokes its historical past in many ways. Grand Georgian architecture lies around nearly every corner of its narrow winding streets, its ancient cathedral dating back from Norman times, and home to the terminus of the Monmouth and Brecon Canal.

Castell Coch, (The Red Castle), the former hunting lodge of the Marquis of Bute, sited on a craggy limestone escarpment in the quaint village of Tongwynlais. The Victorian architect William Burges was commissioned by the 3rd Marquis of Bute to re-create a castle from the earlier foundations of a medieval structure. Stone cobbled courtyard, exquisite wooded carvings cover the interior, and lavishly furnished rooms. Guided tour of the castle. (Exterior castle tour only in January & February 2010).
