This is a must for music lovers. Jon was a fantastic guide. We saw the iconic locales for British music and we were engaged throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
This tour was so awesome. Jon is extremely knowledgeable of all things rock n roll and was an amazing storyteller and guide. We love music and enjoyed every stop and story. He knew the tips and tricks to getting the perfect pictures, even at the crazy busy Abbey Road. We will not forget it! Book it. You will not regret it.
Jon was a great tour guide, he showed us about 6-7 stops and the best part we were able to recreate the iconic Abby road album cover photo. He gave us time to look at gift stores as well.
Our tour with Jeremy was awesome! He picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fun facts. Jeremy drove us all around London to show us the rock n roll highlights. He also shared other fun facts. And perhaps most importantly, his excitement and enthusiasm in sharing was infectious! We will for sure hire him again when we come back.
Andrew was the best tour guide and we had such fun exploring the city from a Rock n Roll angle. He had the best stories and we had a great time!
If you want a truly unforgettable London experience this tour is a must do. Our guide Jeremy was awesome. He brought legendary music history to life with incredible energy and deep local knowledge, He offered a perfect blend of rock trivia, iconic gig spots, and hidden gems throughout the tour. Jeremy didn’t just rattle off dates; he told us stories with so much passion and humor that the time flew by. A highly enthusiastic, five stars for our tour guide Jeremy and this Rock n Roll History tour. Thank you Jeremy for an experience of a lifetime and ever lasting memories.
Our tour guide, Richard was great! Informative, interesting and entertaining. A must do for fans of rock music.
Very informative, interesting and entertaining. Our tour guide, Richard did a great job! Loved seeing the sights of legendary British rockers.
This was a great excursion. Jon was very knowledgeable about British rock and roll. We were interested in more British rock than just the Beatles. Jon told us numerous stories about each area and the artist involved. He customized the tour to us even stopping for some Texas history located in London. Jon had pictures and videos further explaining each site. There was so much more than just, ‘this is where xyz was.’ We left the tour still talking about what we learned. You can tell Jon loves the history of music, and wanted to share. I chose this tour for the family, including two teenage girls, based off prior reviews. It turned out to be one we still talk about. If you think you can find the landmarks on your own, do the tour. Jon adds so much more. He has done so much research so you don’t have to.
Take this tour! You won’t regret it! Dave made it fun and special. I love museums and history and this was just a different kind of experience. So fun and nostalgic!
