Wow! Our Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour was exceptional! Al, our guide, made it so. His storytelling, humor, communication throughout and extras (stories, tips, recommendations) along with creating a fun, authentic and communal experience for the whole group was outstanding. A memorable experience we will never forget. Thank you Al!
I highly recommend this tour for any fan of music but especially fans of 60s and 70s British rock. Danny Boy is an excellent tour guide full of knowledge, stories and lots of rock n roll attitude and energy! Hear origin stories and see recording, performing and meeting locations of Bowie, Zeppelin, The Who, Floyd, Elton and others. Also a tip of cap to the 70s punk scene and 90s grunge and alternative. Several mentions of the Beatles but not at the expense of other Brit rockers. Five stars! Take the tour and make sure you get Danny as your guide.
I bought this trip for my husband. He really liked it. Tom was an excellent guide. It was a very hot day.
My family and I had Henry as a tour guide and he was fantastic! It was a hot day and he kept us in the shade as much as possible. We had a few hard of hearing in our group and Henry spoke loudly and clearly. We loved that he included some personal antidotes and kept a great pace.
an excellent, high energy whirlwind tour of the old Soho spots - where elton john met bernie taupin, where sharon met Ozzy, where the rolling stones had their first ever rehearsal, where the oasis album cover and ziggy stardust album art was photographed! And of course the Beatles final rooftop concert performance location. Tom was an wonderful storyteller and guide. highly recommend.
Calum was great. Good for all ages. Lots of music history revealed. Good pace. My group (ages 77 to 36) had a great time.
The tour was absolutely amazing and one of the best that my wife and I have ever taken in any city. Our tour guide, Henry, was fantastic and presented the material as a fan of the music and the artists, not just as a tour guide. Henry gave us a lot of wonderful insights into the day to day life of some of these pioneers of the British Rock and Roll scene and he showed us several spots where history was made. If you have any interest in British Rock and Roll and you’re thinking about booking this tour, I urge you to do it. If you’re lucky, you’ll get Henry as your guide. Cheers!
Danny knows his British Rock & Roll history for sure. The tour was informative. The day was sweltering hot - not Danny's fault. Learned all about Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Mick & Keith, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, and many many more. Apple HQ at the very end. F*cking marvelous.
The tour was a last minute decision but we are SO glad we did it! Tom was an amazing tour guide - so informative and interesting. Highly recommend!
Absolutely enthralled from the moment the tour started, to the end. It was so good, want to do it again, and I will
