We loved the Soho Pub and Music tour with Harvey. He was fun, energetic, and a great storyteller. We were traveling with college age kids and all of us enjoyed the pubs and history! I would absolutely recommend the tour if you are in London!

I have traveled extensively and taken hundreds of tours. This Pub and Rock and Roll tour with Ben ranks among the top 3 tours ever. Ben was not only an excellent tour guide but it felt as though the entire tour was a total production featuring his vast knowledge of SoHo and Rock and Roll history. He projects like an actor so, don’t worry if you have a significant hearing loss, you will hear him loud and clear and with much passion and enthusiasm! I would do this tour again if I knew Ben was guaranteed to be the guide. And the pubs, beer offerings and gin options were perfect! Thank you Ben for a memorable afternoon!!

We had a great time learning the music history of SoHo while sampling the pubs! There was so much to take in, we could’ve gone on for another hour! Our guide was really knowledgeable and excited to tell us his favorite stories (and recommend his favorite drinks). This is the perfect tour for any music lover.

ROBERTA_B, Apr 2026
Our host, Henry, was very informative, made sure he kept an eye on everyone, & was very funny. Henry also made sure he interacted with everyone in our group. Hubby & I enjoyed all the sites & stories. While it was very crowded ( Saturday in SoHo), Henry made sure we were able to hear him. We had a very good experience, not to mention the great beer recommendations. There were other options for other drinks besides beer.
Jerry_E, Apr 2026
Did this tour a few years back, and had such a great time we went again. Loved the stories about the area, the music history, and location of a certain album cover. Henry was a great guide, and was very engaging with the whole group. Good beer too!
