Tour guide Ben was fantastic. Great energy, interesting stories, and very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend.
Great tid bits if you're a rock n roll fan. I wouldn't consider myself as such necessarily but I knew most of the names that came up and I love music so hearing the stories and seeing the places where they happened was a real treat. Our guide Ben was very entertaining and made me as a solo traveler feel included and welcome. The drinks were really good too!
Ben was an absolute cracker of a guide. He has a brilliant way of telling stories that draws you straight in. Before you know it, you’re back in old Soho, imagining the characters, the music, the mischief and everything that went on behind those pub doors!
Ben also had some great recommendations for beers, ciders and gin, so obviously we had to do our research properly! 😂🍻
There was plenty of time at each pub to enjoy a drink, have a chat and soak up more of the history. We loved listening to Ben’s stories and chatting with the other people on the tour about their travels and experiences.
It was informative without being boring, relaxed without feeling rushed and had just the right amount of drinking involved… although I’m sure Ben would call it “historical research” 😂
The tour completely exceeded our expectations. Ben was fantastic, Soho was fascinating and we had a bloody good time! Highly recommended! 🍻🎶🇬🇧
Tom Hogan was the best guide for our afternoon Pub tour .The R&R stories and the history and the way we felt like we were back in the day at each stop. highly recommend this tour. Love the playlist and the fun pictures !
Great tour. Lots of fun facts about the area and different musical artists along with pubs with great atmosphere.
This was a fun, laid-back tour. Drink or don't drink, you'll have fun either way. Hope you get Henry for you guide. Henry was our guide on an earlier tour, and we were thrilled to see him when we checked in for this one.
Our guide Al, was amazing. His knowledge of music and the pubs, his presentation, his personality, were unbeatable!
This tour was amazing. Alan gave such a great overview of history and his own stories added to the personal touch. He found a way to make every person in our group walk away feeling like new friends. There were multiple groups and we got lucky to get Alan as our guide.
This was a fun activity for our group, who all enjoy music and a good beer. Our tour guide, Alan, was incredibly personable and had fantastic stories to share about the area and the history. We would all recommend this experience!
Really lovely! A fun, interesting and only way to explore SoHo! Music, pubs and Danny Boy! Well worth it!
Tom took our group through SoHo. Loves the stories he shared. Took us to pubs we never would have found on our own.
This was an excellent tour. Alan kept us laughing while also sharing so many interesting facts and stories. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
We had a wonderful day with Al! We learned so much about SoHo history and loved the group sharing their musical adventures!
Tom was our guide and he was very good. Lots of interesting and fun info about SoHo. Would recommend.
This was an entertaining walk with our tour operator Ben through fabulous Soho. He told wonderful stories about historic pubs and kept us entertained the entire time!
Our tour was easy walking with a great pace for all ages(drinking and above). We stopped at a few pubs learned some really fun rock n roll facts! Ben our guide was energetic accompanying and full of knowledge.
Henry was great. He had a wealth of information xxxxxxx. I’m
Required to do 100 character. That’s crazy
Lots of stories, good history, articulate and engaging guide. Spent time in 4 pubs and were quickly friends
This was a great mix of older London history and punk history from the 60s-70s. Danny, aside from being a knowable and fun guide, gave great drink recommendations. If you’re not a big drinker stick to the 1/2 pints!
Danny Boy was brilliant. Loads of knowledge and lots of interesting stories. We brought our uncle that has lived and experienced London’s music scene first hand and we all had a great time. Thank you.
This was a birthday gift for my Partner and wow! Am I glad I got to share it! Amazing tour with the wonderful Carlos who brought history to life with many amusing anecdotes abd stories. Carlos you made our day, thank you!
Absolutely amazing tour!! Our guide Ben was off the charts! One of the most enjoyable tours we have ever done.
Excellent tour guide Ben showed us around Soho, the pubs, and all the rock ‘n’ roll highlights.
He knew everything about the area. In a few hours, we became experts on rock ‘n’ roll history and English pubs.
Fantastic 3-hour pub crawl with an equal parts of SoHo history, rock n’ roll history and local pub lore. Our guide Harvey was a charismatic storyteller and the stops along the way were excellent. One of the best parts was spending the afternoon with an awesome group of rockers from around the world.
Harvey was our guide. He was amazing.,
Lots of interesting and funny stories- he really loves giving tours. Ask for Harvey, you will not be disappointed.
Harvey was the absolute best, super funny and knowledgeable about SoHo. Even stayed after with my friends and I with a pint and a laugh.
What an absolutely amazing afternoon checking out pubs around vibrant Soho and learning all about the rock and roll history of the area from our wonderful guide, Harvey. Friendly, entertaining and full of brilliant stories Harvey really brought the Soho to life and introduced me to lots of new, lovely pubs. Don't miss it - highly recommended.
If you are paired with Ben, you're going to have a great time. His knowledge of the neighborhood was first rate and he had many great stories to tell. The tour got better as it went on, particularly if you're interested in the music focus of it. The posting didn't quite allude to this as a "bar crawl" and it was only four stops (with a suggested half pint at each) but the tone was a little more drinking-oriented than expected so important to understand.
We had a great time wandering through Soho with Harvey, learning about the area, visiting pubs and talking about rock n roll! Harvey was a great guide, with great stories!
Harvey was amazing, very fun and interesting tour! We enjoyed all the pubs and the pints along the way!
