Fun and interesting tour - We enjoyed the enthusiastic stories of our guide. It is abundantly clear that he is a passionate music lover himself. Fun fact and facts and an interesting route.

Great tour for good times of rock and roll - Great experience, so many facts about the good times in rock and roll. Surprised how everything was born in such a small area.

A must if you are into the history of UK rock and roll. - A most informative tour. Spencer added a bit of his history to the tour which certainly made it more personal. A great journey down memory lane.

The absolute best tour guide! - If you’re into rock ‘n’ roll, you have to do this tour. Of course the tour is only as good as the tour guide and boy did we get lucky. Our guide’s name was Spencer; he actually is not a tour guide by trade. He was the one that wrote the scripts for this tour and was filling in for the regular guide.
Spencer is a musician by trade and personally knew and played with many of the top bands of the 60s. He had a wealth of knowledge on rock ‘n’ roll trivia, practical experience as a musician in London and is a great story teller. This tour has been the highlight of my trip to England.

The rock ‘n’ roll walking tour of Soho, London, I would recommend this tour to anyone! - This tour was great. I had such a good time learning about where the Rolling Stones recorded their first album, where the Beatles would perform and then have their suits made by their personal tailor, where Jimi Hendrix performed The Beatle’s Sergeant Pepper‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and where a young Elton John worked serving coffee. Our tour guide operator Ceri was fantastic and very knowledgeable.

Rock and Roll Walking Tour - A really informative tour. Guide was excellent & extremely knowledgeable. It gave a real favour of the music scene in 60's to 80's London. A must do for all music lovers.

A Very Low Score for a Very High Note (Eventually) ⭐️ (but emotionally, 5 for effort) - We turned up 15 minutes early, buzzing like groupies at Tottenham Court Road, ready to rock and roll—literally. Ten minutes later, we were still solo… no tour guide, no fellow fans, not even a rogue street guitarist to set the scene. Mild panic set in. The tour was due to start in 5 minutes and we were as alone as a bass player at a family reunion.
A quick call to the tour company office revealed the starting point had done a sneaky shuffle across the road. So we dashed over and found six other equally confused but optimistic souls. The office kindly told the guide to look out for us. Spoiler alert: he did not.
Another 10 minutes passed, still no sign of the elusive guide. Called the office again. They promised to track him down, Liam Neeson-style. They failed. They gave us his number. He ignored us too—clearly practicing for the lead role in a west end version of the invisible man!
Eventually, the office suggested they’d send us a map so we could “catch him up.” I gently pointed out that unless our guide had cloaking technology or was underground, he hadn’t actually started the tour at all. We had eyes on every direction—he was as absent as a drummer at a soundcheck.
Time ticked on, refunds were requested, and I asked for the script so we could stage our own Rock & Roll Rebellion. We lost two along the way (RIP to their patience), but six of us—2 Brits, 2 Croatians, and 2 Germans—formed the most unlikely tribute band in London history.
We followed the route, added our own commentary, detoured gloriously through Denmark Street, and even played the right music at the right spots. It was magical. So magical, in fact, that we ended up bonding over pies and beers in a lovely hostelry off Carnaby Street. I think we might be a band now. Our first album drops next August.
This review gets one star instead of zero—mainly because the office staff tried their best, and we did receive an apology, a refund email, and an offer for a free tour. Will we take it? Possibly. But not the Rock & Roll one again—there’s no topping the DIY version
