Fab tour. Fab guide! - If you're into rock’n’roll music you will really enjoy this informative and fun tour around Soho. Robin really knows his stuff and engages with his audience brilliantly. I thought I knew Soho well but I learnt a lot The highlight for me was the visit to Jazz After Dark where Amy Winehouse started her career & we spent some time with Sam the owner who was good enough to to talk to us & tell us a little about Amy. Something I won’t ever forget. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for something a bit different to normal walking tours.

Rock-n-Robins Amazing SoHo Tour - This is an absolute must for anyone rock-n-roll/soho fan visiting London. Robin was the absolute best guide. We had so much fun learning about Soho and its amazing rock-n-roll history. If I ever visit again, I will stop and see this tour, and hopefully Robin! Cheers!

This Tour Is Amazing! Robin is Awesome! - This tour was hands down the best part of our London trip! Robin did an amazing job. He brought a ton of energy and had clearly showed a passion for the deep rock and roll history that courses through the veins of Soho. The man is a walking encyclopedia. This tour is perfect for any music nerd and I’d argue is a MUST for any trip to London.

The best London walk we’ve done - and we’re Londoners! - Loved it! Our guide on the Rock & Roll - SoHo walk was Robin. He was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly entertaining! The walk was littered with photo opps, brilliant anecdotes, quizzes and even a spot of singing (!) The stop at Jazz after Dark on Greek St where Amy Winehouse started her career and even performed at right up til the end was really quite moving. The 2 hou tour just flew by. Throughly recommended.

A top tour of Soho's Rock and Roll heritage. - Robin is a terrific host, really knows his stuff. His enthusiasm shone out throughout, as he guided us around Soho. Two hours wasn't enough, I could have carried on being entertained for much longer. Many thanks, Robin.
