Fun Morning Soho Music History

Julie_A, Apr 2024

What a fun morning on this walking tour in Soho. Seeing where all the musical giants started their careers and hearing about some of the fun stories of their past made for a great experience. Would recommend this to anyone who likes music history.

Highly recommended tour

Diana_C, Apr 2024

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic! We learned so many fun facts about The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and many more including Mozart! Highly recommend the tour for a nice walk around SoHo and lots of history about music

Do it!! Great relaxing fun tour!

Anthony_H, Apr 2024

Awesome experience! My wife and I love music and really enjoyed our time on the tour. Meeting point was very easy to find and this was truly a favorite of our trip! It was a great way to start the morning off and was a very relaxing tour. Highly recommend to get your overview of Rock N Roll in London!

Informative and interesting friendly guide

Julie_K, Mar 2024

I really enjoyed Denmark Street and the secret garden and the history of Saville Theatre and the Soho pubs

Great guide with so much knowledge

Shannon_C, Feb 2024

Evren was our tour guide and he was lovely, he told us so much we didn’t know and gave a real insight into the music world, I would definitely recommend this tour if you are a fan of older singers/musicians such as David Bowie, The Beatles etc. couldn’t fault anything.

Love Music? TAKE THIS TOUR!

Frank_P, Jan 2024

Evran was particularly knowledgeable - first hand - to the history and details of our tour. He was friendly and energetic - with a true passion for his subject matter. So many stories, so many moments in history. For real music lovers of the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's this is a MUST SEE.

A Rock Aficionado's Dream!

Mike_N, Dec 2023

This was a highlight of our London trip. Our tour guide, Everett, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging to listen to. His descriptions of locations and events really took you back to the places and times he was describing. Just when you thought you'd seen the coolest thing ever, he'd round a corner and show you something even better. He personalized the experience by taking questions and being indulgent of my verbose commentary! Cheers to Everett, thanks for being so awesome!

Rock On

Luanne_D, Dec 2023

Evren was an incredible tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour very relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Excellent tour by a passionate storyteller

Frederique_L, Oct 2023

We had a great time. Our tour guide not only highlighted music-related locations in Soho, he also knew so many unique stories about how musicians and Soho locations have been linked over the pas decades (Jazz, Punk, rock, etc.). His personal music experience and great storytelling style were also highlights. We knew London but learned so much! We would recommend this tour to both UK and overseas travellers.

Great tour!

Anthony_J, Oct 2023

Very informative regarding the music industry in London. Elven was great! He took us to the best locations. We were very happy with this tour.

Great tour

Ann_M, Oct 2023

This was an amazing tour. Evren had one story after another to tell about the greats of 60's and 70's and 80s rock and roll in London as we passed studios, pubs, coffee houses, music venues, and apartments. We gained an appreciation for how the proximity of key players in soho made a difference. We had a great time and learned a lot.

An Excellent Tour of Soho's Music History - Highly Recommended

Brennan_H, Sep 2023

The most memorable parts of the experience were the guide being so knowledgeable and having a story for every stop. He was kind, personable, and deeply passionate about the history of music. He had something intensely interesting to say about every stop, and at the end of the tour, he even stuck around in a pub for awhile to tell more stories. It was an amazing experience, and one I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone even mildly interested in music history.

Great music tour

Paula_T, Sep 2023

Evern was our guide for the music tour. His knowledge, sharing of his own experiences and his passion for the the music scene brought this tour to life. Great tour!

A wonderful tour!

Molly_M, Sep 2023

A great experience - we were a mixed age group with varying knowledge of music history but Everen made sure the tour was engaging and interesting for all. It was wonderful to hear all the stories and see the places in person. Highly recommended.

Way Beyond Expectations

Vincent_V, Sep 2023

After visiting John and Paul’s boyhood homes in Liverpool (another recommendation), we were hoping for a tour in London long on serious British rock history. It did not disappoint. Our guide was a serious historian who kept us interested and entertained. Lots of great information for those interested in the British sights and sounds and-the artists who created it all. The tour lasted 2 1/2 hours and ended with a nice touch at a pub where we traded stories about our own experiences. Don’t miss it.
