Ian - the tour guide- was absolutely fabulous. Great commentary and brilliant knowledge. Stopped off at a quaint Beatles shop and bought really affordable items. Walked Abbey Road. Highly recommend.

Cool vibe rock legends tour

Marilyn_S, Apr 2024

Colin was a wealth of knowledge and provided a great tour including the accompanying music. Hearing all the stories and rock gossip was fun. And the bus driver was cool too!

Rock On!

Kathleen_K, Apr 2024

Fabulously fun afternoon tooling around the streets of London with very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, giving us the low-down on the rock and roll history of the city. Thanks Ian for a great day!

Save your time and money

Sharon_T, Apr 2024

Not worth the time or money. We were on a large tour bus and the majority of the tour consisted of the guide pointing down the road and saying who used to live down that road. Didn’t get to see half of the things because we didn’t go down roads due to big bus size. Someone on our tour had done it before and they had a smaller bus and got to go down the roads to see everything. That would’ve been better because I paid a bunch of money to look down roads. Waste of time going to the memorabilia shop- that is so small only a few people can fit in it. Totally not worth it - only last 40 minutes were half decent. Also , tour guide wasn’t overly hospitable. Husband’s seat was broken and he told him it would be alright.

Excellent London Rock Tour

Keith_K, Mar 2024

Our tour guide, Marc, was excellent. He was very knowlegable and guided us in a friendly and entertaining manner. He brought much of the London rock history to life. An excellent & memorable tour.

Rock - n - Rolllllllll

Fabulous tour of London neighborhoods and rock n roll stories!!

Kathy_K, Dec 2023

We enjoyed all of Colin’s stories about the legends of rock! He was fantastic! Really loved Abbey Road stop. So iconic. And to see Paul’s house was amazing. The bus driver did an awesome job. It really was a great tour of London marked by many rock legends happenings from back in the day. Highly recommend this tour! LOVED the entire experience!

Rainy day on the music tour.

Pepper_B, Nov 2023

Good tour and timing. Guide was great, but weather was crappy and put a damper on the day. Restroom stop was at Albert Hall which was great to see, but spent an hour waiting in line to use the restroom as there was a huge graduation ceremony letting out. Not an efficient RR stop. Sites and commentary were good.

James made the tour.

Bob_C, Oct 2023

James grabbed your attention form the word go. I will have to say the tour needs to clean up their directions to the bus. It was a universal feeling that we were all in the wrong place. James has his own Props to pass around , timely musics bits, extremely interesting commentary and his passion for this tour shows strongly through. James is the best

All you need is love

LORI_C, Oct 2023

Guide was so know age able. Brought back all memories of growing up when all transpired. An amazing and great tour!!!

Not a good tour

Maritza_J, Oct 2023

I did not enjoy this tour at all. The tour guide Ian, didn’t even play the songs of the people he has talking about. He was just driving around saying so and do lived there, not stoping to do photo ops.I don’t recommend it. It was not worth the money or the time.

Abbey Road! And Paul’s...

Pat_C, Oct 2023

Abbey Road! And Paul’s house and songs he wrote there. Freddy Mercury info was very interesting. A lot of fun facts about our favorite music icons! Recommend this tour!

Passionate tour of London

MarieClaire_B, Oct 2023

Guide was incredible passionate about rock. And about London: events, restaurants, pubs, etc. He tells us a lot of anecdotes about music, musicians, lyrics. He answers a lot of questions asked by passionate guests, giving us the trust he is sincerely interested by the subject. We discover new parts of London.
