Excellent way to learn about rock and roll - Our guide Spencer was an encyclopedia of musical knowledge. Fun, entertaining and a great storyteller from when this music scene was exploding. He even walked me to The Tube and made certain I was headed in the right direction. I was hesitant about it because I never did it before but he made me feel confident that I could do it. And I did! I didn’t want the tour to end truthfully. Highly recommended.

Our Guide Opened for the Stones! - And better yet, the Stones also opened for him! Spencer was brilliant. He is a walking, talking history of British rock and roll. Forget the all-day bus tours and the Abbey Road crosswalk photo op. Go on this tour and see and learn where it all started. The time-cost-value proposition is unbeatable.

Really enjoyed the Soho walking tour - My wife and I went on the Rock n Roll London Walking Tour around Soho on Wednesday 30th August, we both really enjoyed it. Catherine the tour guide was really nice and told the different stories really well. Ended up going back to The Ship pub for a drink, this is where Queen and David Bowie drank. Would recommend it.

Don't Book This Tour. Save Your Money and Time - Went on 3 different walking tours in London and this was by far the worst tour of all three. We did nothing but walk around and look at plaques on buildings about what the building was to rock n roll. Our tour guide was the worst and the most she did was play some iTunes on her portable speaker which hung from her wrist. Save your money and time. The only reason we chose this Rock n Roll Walking Tour was because the top Rock and Roll Walking Tour was completely booked.
