A trip well worth it - Mick was absolutely great. He knew his stuff, had lots of stuff to share, and was very flexible if we mentioned something and it struck a chord with him, he'd alter/add something to the schedule. The tour seemed Beatle-centric but we like the Beatles so it worked well for us. The specific example of adding value was that Joy mentioned she enjoyed reading about WWII history; so Mick pulled us up in front of the old US Embassy and showed us a plaque about Eisenhower (and added great commentary about both the use of the building and how the plaques work).

Rock and roll favorites highlighted just for us! - We are a family of teenage boys, including two musicians, and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour! We covered a lot of bands, and Mick did some itinerary adjustments to cover several of our favorites. We enjoyed getting to see parts of London we otherwise would have missed. We ended the tour by shopping at a fun record store Mick showed us. Guide was very upbeat and entertaining. Highly recommend!

David was the perfect guide! - Great communication from our guide, David. Took us to sights we would have never found on our own. Even had umbrellas for us to use in the rain. Dropped us off at Hard Rock Cafe so we could continue our music adventure and told us to ask to see the vault. Would have never known the vault existed otherwise.

Marcus of Queensbury - What a wonderful tour of the least known areas of London. Barry our guide was very informative and knowledgeable with little tidbits of information that made the adventure very interesting. Like the area across the river where boxing got started and the Marcus of Queensbury rules were introduced to ring fighting. In addition to the interesting tour of Soho and the Music District. Just Fun

Interesting and fun in London. - Chris picked us up and took my husband and me to see Big Ben Tower, Westminster Abby, St James, House of Parliament, Tower of Lond and the Tower Bridge. He told us the history of each place and we got out of the cab and took pictures at most of the places. We only had four hours to see London and we were able to see much more then I had hoped. The tour was fun and interesting. It was well worth the money we paid for the tour. I recommend it to everyone.
