Great Tour for Rock Music Fans
Virginia_S, Apr 2024
Our guide Al was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable, full of energy and jokes too (LOL). We learned a lot and had a great time. Would highly recommend this tour!
They know how to take your money…..

I’m giving a low rating because I booked for two people but canceled one of them more than a week before the trip. I brought copies of the paperwork that showed this. The company didn’t care. I offered to take another walking tour rather than get a refund. I got no help. Very poor customer service.
Jammin’ with Al: London Rock Tour
gg4wy2w2p7, Apr 2024
We loved this tour. Al was an amazing, enthusiastic, funny, knowledgeable and passionate guide. This was very different than many of the other tours we have done. Al was a great story teller and made the history of London’s rock scene come alive. He also did his best to tailor his tour to the members of our small group. I highly recommend this tour and any other tours that Al leads. He’s a gem!

Good tour. Danny did a great job. He’s knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. It was a large group but he handled it well.
A fantastic and informative tour!
Randy_S, Mar 2024
Danny boy was fantastic! He was absolutely passionate about the subject and I saw things I never would’ve though I’d have the pleasure of seeing. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who’s a big music fan.
Thank you Jack

We had a great time! Our guide, Callum was hilarious as well as knowledgeable. All in all a wonderful experience.
Great tour. Book it!
Ronald_L, Mar 2024
There is a reason for all the 5 star reviews. Jack (a musian himself) spins tales that are certain to facinate. You learn the secrets of rock and roll and the history of this part of London. Book it. You won't regret it!

Al was excellent guide! My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. We saw the stomping grounds of our favorite bands. It inspired me to make some new playlists with old favorites.
Fun tour
German_C, Feb 2024
Calum was great. Knowledgeable and engaging. A must do for any rock and roll fan! Recommend without hesitation.
Amazing rock n roll tour!
DEBORAH_K, Jan 2024
We had an amazing time in this tour with Al. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of rock n roll in London. We learned a ton about the history from the streets of London, and had an amazing time doing so and chatting with Al along the way. Would highly recommend this tour if you have an interest in British music history!
Super guide, super tour!
Rosanne_G, Dec 2023
Our guide Jack was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He is an encyclopedia of knowlege about London's Rock and Roll scene and kept us interested with his combination of anecdotes and photos from that time. We visited many places that I had never even heard of and I know have a great desire to return to (especially the pubs! :-)). He never walked so quickly that the slower ones in the group (i.e. me!) couldn't keep up and he was always cognizant of our safety when crossing the road or stopping to listen to a story. I highly recommend Jack and this tour.
Great experience!
Merideth_H, Dec 2023
Excellent tour. Our guide Al was not only knowledgeable but you could tell he truely loves sharing the history and stories of the music industry in Soho. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The icing on the cake to my London holiday
Matt_B, Nov 2023

Doug_S, Jul 2023
What a fantastic tour. Al was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting. Loved all his stories. He knows a ton about the history of Rock and Roll. We had our 13 year old and he made it fun for him too. Highly recommend. It will be a highlight of your time in London.
Worth 10 Stars! ⭐️
Cary_B, Jul 2023
What an amazing morning spent with Al who is one of our new best friends! From the very start of the tour right to the very end, he was entertaining, got to know everybody and it made the trip an absolute pleasure. We are Iron Maiden fans from Canada, and Al knew all the places our favourite band haunted in London.!. as well as so many other classic famous rock acts. Thanks for a truly memorable day!!!
