Fab and fun rock ‘n roll tour! - Robin was absolutely great! Funny, warm, energetic, passionate about his topic - these ingredients make the best tours. We learned so much and it was peppered with anecdotes from other people from previous and the current tour. Just fab (and I’m not even a music buff!). I highly recommend it.

Fun way to experience music history. Robin’s the best! - Thoroughly enjoyed this walk through SoHo with Robin. His encyclopedic musical history knowledge and enthusiasm kept us on our toes as he shared tale after tale about the musical greats of the area.
Very fun tour…highly recommend!

A walk down rock and roll memory lane - If you belong to a certain era that grew up with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and so on this tour will have you drenched in a flood of nostalgia and amazement at all the wonderful trivia about the music you grew up with. Robin is such an excellent, considerate and entertaining guide and a fount of information. With a wonderful sense of humour to match (Hey Joe where you goin’ with that pun in your hand?). Very highly recommended for classic rock fans and anyone with even a passing interest in rock and roll.
