Ben was an excellent tour guide- enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I learned a lot and am excited about learning more about British rock and roll music after taking the tour. It had something for just about everybody. I’m glad I went and I’d recommend it to others.

Tom was an amazing tour guide and had a lot of great information about the rock and roll history of Great Britain! Would recommend to anyone
Ben was great! I think this is a cool way to spend a few hours exploring London and learning the music history of SoHo.
Ben Cooper was a great guide speaking loudly and clearly at all stops. He made the effort to get to know each of us and our concert experiences to work it into the tour. Very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions while walking to the next stop.
Tom was our tour guide. He was smart, funny, and warm. He obviously loves rock and roll, and shared his passion with all of us. It was a really fun two hours, and we so appreciated his attention to detail. We highly recommend him for anyone who loves music from the 60s!!
My husband, 20-year-old, and I had the British Rock and Roll Tour yesterday. Our tour guide, Tom, was funny, animated, and knowledgable. He kept us engaged and entertained the entire two hours. We highly recommend you booking a tour with him - he answers every question and knows SO much (and is a Bowie fanatic, so ask him about that. :-)
This was honestly the best tour I've ever been on. Our tour guide Henry was just so friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic that you couldn't help thoroughly enjoy the experience. You can tell he really loves music and is himself fascinated by each of the facts he shares on the tour. As someone who loves music, and who lived in London for 10 years at one point, I learned so much that I never knew. Streets I'd walked down many times suddenly became treasure maps full of musical gems. There were seven of us on the tour, which was a great size and meant we could chat amongst ourselves as we made it from location to location. The cost of the tour was such good value for money, as a way to learn more about the city, it is far more interesting than any others I've done. I would recommend this tour, and Henry as the guide, to literally anyone visiting London (and even locals too). It really capped off a wonderful few days in this great city.
Ben was an amazing guide and would recommend for visitors or Londoners interested to know more about the city and musical heritage. Ben was fabulous guide and great at entertaining and informing us all. Bought a surprise birthday gift for my husband and worked out well so great idea and will definitely bloom at our tours.
Excellent tour to see some awesome Soho music sights. Tom was an incredible guide.
Our tour guide Tom was amazing. We had high expectations for this tour and he exceeded every one of them. A must if you’re in London. Ask for Tom.
Tom, our guide, was absolutely wonderful. Couldn’t have asked for any better.
Tom did a wonderful job moving us along, telling great stories, and keeping himself audible above the street noise.
Thom was an excellent tour guide.
The tour was fantastic! Danny Boy was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and attentive throughout. He was always happy to answer any questions and made a real effort to get to know everyone’s favourite bands and find ways to incorporate them into the tour. His knowledge of the music, history, and destinations was brilliant, and his enthusiasm really made the experience special. It was amazing to discover just how many historically significant music locations there are around London that you could easily walk past without even realising their importance! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London, especially music fans. Danny Boy really made it an experience to remember!
I did a tour with my family and friends. All of us were excited about our guide Danny Boy. He was very knowledgeable about what he was talking. To see all these historical places was fantastic experience. Thank you!
Tom was a roaring good time, full of great and interesting stories about London places in rock history and as enthusiastic a guide as you ever will have.
Can’t say enough about this experience. Our guide Henry was superb. Well organized tour with multiple interesting stops. Pacing was perfect as well. Have taken part in many similar tours around the world —- I’d rate this amongst the best. Thanks again Henry.
Great fun! Danny Boy was an excellent tour guide. We loved hearing about all the rick and roll history in the local hidden gems.
This tour was amazing - a must do for fans of the British Rock invasion of the 60's and 70's. Our guide, Henry, was fantastic! His knowledge of these bands and the Soho region was off the charts, and he delivered the info with high energy and enthusiasm. I'd highly recommend this tour, especially with Henry.

Our guide Henry was as entertaining as he was knowledgeable. He was concerned with our comfort as we walked the streets of Soho in the rain. One of the best things I’ve ever done in the numerous times I’ve been to London!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The content, tour guide, Al, was excellent, and the overall experience was perfect for my last day in London. My daughter knows that I am a huge British Rock fan and gave this to me as a gift. What an ideal gift! The timing was perfect for me, the group size was perfect with good member interaction. I would highly recommend this to friends that would be in London!
This tour was awesome! Loved Carlos. Highly recommend the tour! See and hear lots of stories about some to the great bands - Beatles, Queen, and Bowie to name a few.
Tommy was an outstanding tour guide- exceptionally knowledgeable and professional
A friend booked the Rock and Roll Tour for us. I didn’t know what to expect. We had a fantastic experience. We learned so much and were pleasantly surprised by all the history, stories, and nostalgia in Soho. Our tour guide, Tom, was outstanding! Dynamic and animated. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic time on our Rock and Roll Tour of London. Tommy was a phenomenal guide and storyteller. He was knowledgeable, engaging and funny. We almost felt we were there at the first Sex Pistols gig. Same when we were standing outside the place Brian Jones held auditions for the Stones. London has such a rich rock ‘n roll history and we felt lucky to get a generous glimpse on this tour. Very highly recommended!
My friend and I had a great time. Ben was a phenomenal guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and friendly. If you think you know what you'll see...you're wrong. This tour checked off a bunch of boxes I didn't even know I had in my head until I saw them, haha! Also just a great way to learn about the Soho neighborhood in general--I definitely need to go back and explore more.
Carlos was great. So much info and great stories.
A really interesting tour. Al was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide.
Henri was great! He obviously knew his stuff and enjoyed sharing it. We were a group of six friends and all enjoyed it.
Super interesting tour about this fascinating corner of London. Tour guide provided lots of stories and insights into the origins of Rock and Roll in London with great enthusiasm and humour. Have recommended tour to lots of friends and watched a great documentary about the art on record covers recommended by guide. A bit pricey but a great tour.
Our tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable, very funny and very entertaining. A natural story teller. It was a 2 hour tour — didn’t want it to end.
