Our black cab tour of the rock ‘n’ roll Beatles was fantastic. Greg was the ultimate host and was very knowledgeable and gracious to all of us. He patterned the tour to our special interests and was very accommodating. Four hours went by very quickly and we enjoyed every minute of the tour. We would definitely highly recommend him and would ask for him again for other tours.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Greg today. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped to make our tour personalized. I would take this tour again.
Wonderful tour! Little did we know how much music history took place in London! Paul, our guide, was so knowledgeable, courteous, and fun - very accommodating!!
Butch made our entire trip! Not only was he knowledgeable about the Beatles, but he answered all kinds of questions about other famous singers and about London in general. This was a private London/Beatles/anything else we wanted tour. So SO worth the money!!!
Great tour! Greg was knowledgeable and made it a really fun time! He also tailored the tour to our interests. Would definitely recommend!
Nice tour! Butch our guide, arrived early to pick us up at our hotel. He was energetic, engaging, full of facts and stories and fun to be around. He made sure we saw what we wanted to see and that we got every picture we wanted. Enjoyed our time with him.
Absolutely amazing . If you are in London and like rock n roll this is your ride. Peter will take you to places you would not see otherwise, plus he knows the story behind every rock band, album and producer. Also you lol have the trip documented and links to every site u visit. We are so happy we booked this tour I recommend it to anyone who wants to know the coolest places in London. Thank you so much Peter for this unforgettable experience. You are the best!!!
Greg, our guide, was fantastic! Worked us through all the traffic and got us to all the historic rock spots including Abbey road, where he provided his expertise to time the traffic and the photos to replicate the iconic beatles pic crossing Abbey road. Saw Paul's house, the jail cells of John and Paul when they were arrested. Just fun, really cool places to visit where the old 60's icons started their careers.
Our guide was Dave. He was so knowledgeable and taught us so much. He did not hurry us. Took his time. Played music especially the Beatles but found out about us and also how we liked David Bowie so added some extra touches to the tour. He was so friendly and really looked after us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Well worth the money Hopefully everyone can get Dave
Dave was a wonderful, knowledgable, engaging, caring tour guide for our Beatle tour in London with my son who is a major Beatles fan. He introduced him to everyone, held his hand, answered his million questions and made the best Beatles tour of London. Highly recommend for anyone wanted a Beatles or rock tour.
My father and I had a fun time with Butch! He is very kind and patient. Also very knowledgeable & loved the stories! Thank you Melissa
We had so much fun. The tour is a bit spendy but if you want a personalized experience and do not like big crowds, this is ideal. Andy was just a pleasure to spend time with and VERY knowledgeable on everything you could think of to ask. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Simply outstanding! From the prompt and convenient to pick up at my hotel to all of the destinations I wanted to see, and in the comfort of the iconic black taxi. My guide, Butch, was the BEST! I told many of my friends how delightful, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable he was. I had some physical limitations, and he seemed to personally care about me. Butch is a genuinely cool guy! Butch accommodated all of my requests, helped me with things I couldn’t have done on my own, and was as memorable as the tour itself. Well done! Highest rating 5!
Stuart could not be a more perfect guide. He knows not just the obvious but so much more. He took us all around various Beatle highlights in London and shared a bunch of great facts about the members of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. One would think he had traveled extensively with these bands. He was so enjoyable as well. Stuart took pictures and some videos to help us remember our great experience. HIGHLY recommend and will use him on my next trip.
Our time with Butch was OUTSTANDING! He met our expectations and then some. By the end of the day I felt like had spent time with a friend who shared my feelings towards who the Beatles were. His efforts made the day very spyfor us.
Exceptional vocalists. Theatre was small enough to feel like you were close to the stage. Professional in every way. The stage props were well done. I recommend to anyone.
We had a fantastic tour with Peter. He exceeded our expectations. He was so known about Rock and Roll history. He memorialized our tour by sending us photos he took of us and links to historical information.
Peter was a fantastic guide. He exceeded our expectations . We learned so much about rock and roll history and how the Beatles were intertwined. He took pictures of us at all the important stops. We have our tour memorized in links and photos he sent us. We would definitely use him again if we return to London.
Greg was so much fun. He was very accommodating and shared knowledge about Rock n Roll and London as well. The entire experience was “brilliant “ as they say in London. Thank you so much Greg.
Great tour! Our driver was welcoming, easy to talk to, and made us feel relaxed right away. He couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend.
Greg Dorrington our driver and guide was excellent in his conversational and down to earth manner. The stops were all of the ones we wanted to see. He also gave us reccomdations for dining and sight seeing.
Dave is an excellent guide—very knowledgeable but easygoing with a great sense of humor. He made us feel like friends. He also graciously checked with us to make sure we covered all the sites we wished to see. It was great touring around town in our private black cab, which was clean and comfortable. Just a super day!
Best tour ever, Our guide Butch was extremely knowledgeable and a encyclopedia on the Beatles. Very professional from start to finish. We'll definitely seek him out on next year's trip !
If you like the Beatles, you will like this tour! Butch was our guide. He was knowledgeable, nice, prompt and all around great guy. Always ready to take our pictures whenever we wanted. We had a great time with him.
Driver was personable, knew the subject and made the whole four hour tour very enjoyable. His knowledge helped us decide on other tours
What a great lens to see the city through. A must for Rock n Roll fans. Don’t miss the photo op at Abby Road. Dave was a great guide. Loved seeing the neighborhoods and lively downtown areas and how Rock n Roll links the city together.
Wow. Where to start. As a huge 60s and 70s music fanatic I was so so lucky to get Dave as our tour guide. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable. I saw everything I hoped to see and much much more. Dave is a wealth of knowledge on the rich history of English rock and has many great anecdotes of such. He also worked hard to get all the iconic photo opps. I could tell he was A Well Respected Man in his interactions with people along the way. (Yes The Kinks were discussed! ) Do not miss this tour. I checked off alot on my rock bucket list. Thanks Dave.
David was super knowledgeable and military with all the sites and heritage of the different stops. A musician himself gave the best tour tailored to our interests. Absolutely brilliant.
We had a fantastic time. Our guide Butch was phenomenal; we so much loved his company, information, the photos he took of us, the places we visited, and how well he looked after us. We went to places we could never get to during our short 4 hours stay in London.
My family and I had a wonderful four-hour private tour with Matt. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the most complete experience possible, filling the tour with fascinating stories, interesting details, and plenty of personal touches that kept everyone engaged. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience truly special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves rock and roll, and it was definitely one of the most memorable highlights of our trip to London. Thank you, Matt, for such a fantastic experience!
This tour was amazing. Got picked up at our hotel and drove all around town to the various rock n roll sites. Our tour guide, Andy was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and easy going. He even took our pics at several locations!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! Jeff was a GEM of a tour guide!!! Prompt and comfortable transport!!! Super informative and accommodating! We were blown away by how well his knowledge was!!! An experience of a lifetime!!! Definitely a Highlight of our London trip! Still taking about it day!!! Thank you so much!!!!
We had such a great time with Dave! It was our first full day in London and I’m so happy we spent it on the Beatles tour. Dave was great with communicating with us in order to meet up. He was super knowledgeable and took us to some amazing music landmarks. We got some great photos with his help. All of this was delivered with care and a great sense of humor. Thank you Dave!
This was truly a big highlight of our trip to London and if you can get Jeff as a tour guide, you are VERY lucky indeed! He was a phenomenal guide, full of information and inside stories, not only about the Beatles, but about Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Page, etc. Rock and Roll history is obviously a real passion of Jeff's, as he knows SO much, including the little known facts and current events. (I tried to stump him, but was unable to.) Plus, he's an EXCELLENT driver and such a super nice, kind, and funny man! When we got to a location, he'd provide background photos he'd pulled off the Internet, and took the time to address my person interests. He's also a great photographer and got some great shots of me crossing Abbey Road. Thank you mate, you were great! Next time I'm in London, I will go out with him again and bring a few friends with me. Cheers Jeff!
David was the absolute best! His knowledge was phenomenal. We were celebrating my brother’s 60th birthday and we surprised him with the Beatles Rock and Roll private tour. It was awesome! We connected with David and had the best time! Highly recommend this tour. Highlight of our trip.
Jeff was extremely well informed and had great stories to share about the rock culture in London. He also accommodated us on our personal requests for stops not listed on the tour.
What an excellent experience!! Dave was amazing, very knowledgeable and was very kind! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a trip down rock and roll history!! Would do it again!
We really enjoyed our experience with David. He was prompt, flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. We learned lots of things but more importantly had fun and enjoyed ourselves. We’d happily do it again and recommend David to others. We feel like not only did we have a good experience but we made a new English friend. Fee was fair and time was complete and not rushed! Keep up the great work. Jeff and Joanne Lenert
David was terrific. Professional, knowledgeable and very patient. Unfortunately, our friends who joined us had no clue about anything Beatles, related, but Mark patiently explained both for them and us (Beatles geeks)!
Greg was our tour director and he was not only very knowledgeable but so much fun. He really geared the tour to what our interests were. The highlight for me was Abbey Road! We will definitely book a tour with Greg when we return to London.
Greg was our tour director and he was not only very knowledgeable but so so fun! We had a wonderful time on the Rock and Roll tour of London and will absolutely book another tour with him when we return to London.
We loved our tour with Jeff. He added so much to our experience. He was knowledgeable on many topics, not just rock & roll, and he even added facts that were new to me and the members of our party. It was fun and informational. He helped us take some great pics and showed us all around the city. It was well worth the money to have a private tour, and the length of the tour was perfect! We had a blast! I highly recommend taking this tour if you are a fan of British Rock & roll.
This Black Cab tour was a fabulous way to start our week in London, Our guide was a charming and extremely knowledgeable cabbie who took us to neighborhoods we would never have seen to see Paul Mcartney’s house and the Apple records studio, among others. Yes we got our photo in the world’s most famous crosswalk. This is a tour of 20th Century London. Our guide is a great storyteller with an amazing memory. If you want insight into the world of Tod Stewart, Jimmy Hendricks or cabbies, this is for you. My husband and I are physically limited and can’t walk much so touring can be a challenge, but this tour doesn’t require a lot of walking but you see a lot of fun, interesting sights. Super fun.
Wonderful tour, very informative. Driver was friendly, helpful (dealing with my wheelchair), very king and told many interesting stories.
Absolutely fantastic David was very knowledgeable about his music beetles David Bowie the Rolling Stones absolutely loved it
A warning, you have to have patience due to the horrible traffic!
Fantastic tour , very friendly guide . Great day out , entertaining, engaging & accommodating Highly recommended
The tour was amazing , Jeff was very informative, nice & accommodating . He made sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions. Next time we are in London we will use him again
We all loved our tour with Jeff—from my Beatles fan mother to my Bowie loving husband, Jeff had lots of interesting rock and roll history to share with us.
There were 3 couples and the 6 of us fit well in the black cab. Our driver Tony was fun and a great man kind to people along the tour. We saw some great Beatles sights and learned a bit of London Rock history. Stops at the Beatles Store, John Lennons former residence, Abby Road, the street of the famous rooftop concerts. Tony picked us up at our hotel in the West End. And dropped us off in the heart of London - Tower Bridge area as we requested. Super guide. Tony was funny and and all around good human being- nice to strangers in the streets. Loved the tour! Highlight of our first day in London.
