Never boring! - Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and Queen Tour was extremely interesting. I read books about Queen and Freddie, but still discovered a few interesting facts on that tour. Thank you, Chris

Great Tour!! - What a tour!! Our guide was Grant and he was great! He is very knowledgeable and had no problem answering all of our questions. He has done a great deal of research and it shows. The things you will learn won’t be found online. He was also very safe and patient. Wouldn’t have traded this tour for any other. Will come back for more tours, thank you Grant!

A MUST for any fan of Queen! - This tour is a must for any Queen fan, and was definitely the highlight of my trip to London. Our guide Michael was a fountain of information and a pleasure to walk around with for 2.5 hours. I consider myself a very knowledgeable Queen fan, but even I walked away with new information, thanks to Michael. There is a fair bit of walking on this tour (I clocked 10,000 steps before it was even over) but everything is relatively close and within the Kensington area. I can't say enough great things about this tour! It was excellent!!

Great tour - What can I say. My daughter is a massive queen fan. She is 12 years of age and we decided to do this walk. The guide Grant was one the best and most nicest tour guide I have met. Not got bored of answering questions. Asked everyone if they wanted any more questions. I would definitely book a tour with him again. We went to places I never new about. It’s definitely worth the money. Thank u again.

Excellent tour - It was a great tour. Grant is a great tour guide and very nice person. He shows you pictures and places for queen related facts. It's a long walking tour lasting around 3 hours but it's definitely worthy.
