Not quite. The Beatles did 6 tours in 1964, starting with France in January, the famed USA visit, a brief run of UK theater dates in late April, a world tour in June, a month of dates in the UK and Sweden in July, the US in August and September, and another run of UK theater dates from October through November. In 1965, they did a European tour in June and early July, the US again in August and the UK in December. 1966 had the Germany, Japan and Philippines tour in late June and early July, and the US in August.
Incidentally, consider that one of the reasons the Beatles abandoned touring was the state of sound systems at that point. For instance, the Portland, Oregon show on August 22, 1965 at the Memorial Coliseum used a PA that consisted of ten 80 watt Bogen PA amplifiers - or 800 watts in total. The Shea Stadium concert on August 15, 1965 used at most 2400 watts of PA power - versus about 75,000 watts that the Who used in the same venue in 1983. About the only time the Beatles were actually able to hear themselves and the sound was clear to the audience was at the Atlanta show on 8/17/65 - there's a partial bootleg of the show where both John and Paul remark into the mics about how clear and loud the sound is (and interestingly enough, the available research says that the PA for that evening was only about 800 watts as well).
