Sandra Shevey is an experienced tour guide who specializes in conducting tours related to Alfred Hitchcock and John Lennon. She has been conducting these tours since 1999 and continues to do so at the age of 79.
The Hitchcock tour takes participants to locations featured in Hitchcock’s films such as “Frenzy,” “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1972), and “The Paradine Case.” The tour lasts for approximately 3 hours and includes sound bites from Shevey’s last one-on-one interview with the director.
In addition to the physical tours, Sandra Shevey also offers webinars for those interested in learning more about Alfred Hitchcock. This provides an opportunity for people who cannot attend the physical tours to still engage with the material.
Shevey’s connection to John Lennon stems from being the only person to conduct a 12-hour interview with the ex-Beatle. As a tribute to Lennon, she started the “The Other Side of Lennon” London Tour, based on her biography of the same name. The tour includes sound bites from the interview and excerpts from the book, which features interviews with various people associated with John Lennon.
