Brilliant! Tour Guide was perfect, and tour exceeded expectations. Very informative, well planned, very memorable.
This was my dream tour come true. Ceri was an absolutely wonderful guide, with fun stories and an incredible love of music! Even my partner (who didn’t know much about Bowie) had an amazing time, walking the same streets as the legend himself. HIGHLY recommended, we had a blast with Ceri!
Our Guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Bowies background and rise to stardom exploring his early life and non traditional family upbringing. He also dealt with a political heckler very tactfully. We visited his family home, first school and places he’d visited and performed in and referenced the hey days of live music in the 70s and 80s in swinging London. He shared interesting anecdotes about Bowie growing up and being ahead of his time with music and fashion. The tour over ran somewhat and there were no comfort breaks so be prepared to have a strong bladder and bring snacks We were warned it might over run at the start
Brilliant & informative tour. Jess our guide was excellent, he knew so much & we enjoyed the stories he had to say. He was enthusiastic about it too & not over the top. A must for any David Bowie fan.
Brilliant tour. Our guide was very informative and helpful. We visited David's places of interest. Absolutely loved it
Tim was an excellent guide. The tour was easy to follow and Tim was very friendly, chatting and making conversation between places of interest. We booked through Activity Superstore and they were very helpful when arranging when we could attend (was slightly worried as had booked experiences through other companies that do not have good customer service. Tim had great knowledge about David Bowie and was a genuine fan. Amazing, would highly recommend.
An absolute must for Bowie fans. A weekend in London including the Bowie room at the V&A this walking tour was the absolute highlight. The guide (Ceri) was interesting and engaging making it lively and entertaining for both the uninitiated and connoisseur. And it ended a decades long search for Heddon Street for me.
We spent a very enjoyable 3 hours in this walking tour of David Bowie’s life in London which started in Brixton, where he was born, and ending in the Tottenham Court Road. The guide was good company and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to any David Bowie fan.
Had such a great time, very informative and really friendly guide.
Fabulous tour. Ceri was entertaining and hugely knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it.
