Punk Rock Brought To Life - This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip! Aidan is best described as a kind of punk rock anthropologist. With photos and sharp, insightful commentary, he transported us back to 1977 London to walk in the footsteps of the Sex Pistols. What made it stand out was his authenticity—he didn’t romanticize the past or filter it through a modern lens. Instead, he offered the unvarnished perspective of someone who lived it and was clearly shaped by the music. A must-do experience—highly recommended!

Really interesting and informative - The bloke was entirely authentic, interesting and informed. Made no bones about being just a kid, not a face. Denmark street was highlighted very well too.

Excellent tour of the punk scene in Soho in 1970s - Me and my Dad did the tour with Aidan and had a fantastic time. He’s an extremely knowledgeable tour guide and the 2.5 hour tour is filled with interesting stories from the 70s punk scene in Soho. Would recommend to any music fan.

Transported to the birth of Punk music - F... Brilliant Tour! Aidan has this gift to transport you into this great era of when Punk was born, right there in the London West End by giving you a real good idea of what it was really like by then and also the truth about the places were those amazing bands such as the Sex Pistols were formed, where their gigs took place, what it was really like to be a punk back then and how the music business was working.
He is a really nice bloke who is also funny and knows how to convey his immense knowledge in the topic to participants of his tour.
I recommend Aidan's tour to anybody who is a Punk music lover or even music in general;)

bloody brilliant - Aiden is an awesome tour guide. With his knowledge he is able to keep up the otherwise largely forgotten punk history of soho and he debunked lots of stereotypes and rumors around the punk scene. The 2.5 hours flew by so fast.

Best tour in London - Not only a really informative tour of the history of punk and learning stories that you would never find in a book but also a great tour of London and the real places. Would 100% recommend

A must music fan tour - Me, my husband and son recently went on Aidan’s walking tour on the history of punk in Soho, and we couldn’t recommend it more! On the day we took our tour, we were his only booking for our time slot, so it was a real treat to have an even more personalized and intimate tour. Weaving in stories of how London, Soho and various industries, stores and clubs from the 50’s onwards led to the explosion of English punk in the mid 70’s. Aidan was lucky enough to have witnessed many of these early punk shows and bands, and his anecdotes woven into the historical record make for a wonderful conversation. If you are a music fan, you should definitely book a tour with Aidan!

An excellent immersive experience, favourite part of my trip. - As a big Sex pistols fan ive always wanted to visit the places they played and drank in.
Born to late to see them live this really is the next best way to travel back to the time when punk was at its peak.
You’ll learn things it’s impossible to find on the internet with the excellent guide Aidan who was there to witness it all.
His experience and knowledge is absolutely second to none. I could have listened to him all day. If your a punk fan you will thoroughly enjoy it.

My teens, partner and I enjoyed immensely - Our tour with Aidan turned out to be the highlight of our visit to London. To have a local with lived experience show us around and talk about music was a real treat. Aidan was funny, interesting and pretty cool. We couldn’t make the group tour but Aidan was a great communicator and we set up a private tour that wasn’t too costly at all.
