Some great insights into Soho's cultural past. Harvey was really engaging and entertaining and we had a great afternoon in his company in a variety of characterful pubs! As he said our group started as strangers and left as friends! 🧡🍻

Ben Cooper made this tour amazing. We wandered through SOHO, stopped at 4 of his favorite pubs for drinks while he told stories, pointed out landmarks and provided lots of recommendations. Informative and engaging!

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.

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.

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!

We booked this tour for our Dad’s Birthday. It’s a great way to see the sights of Soho, visit small pubs you’d not normally go to all tied together with some well told story’s about the history of rock and roll. Our tour guide Ben truly made the tour. We’ll definitely be looking to book the other tours!
Daniel_H, Apr 2026
Carlos was an engaging tour guide, steeped in the past, present and future of SoHo. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes beer, pubs, and/ or music!

Tom was great! He told us great stories about the bands, actors and writers ! Showed us places they lived and hung out!
Gary_W, Mar 2026
A great tour, even for those who do not drink alcohol. Do allow yourself a minimum of three hours, especially on a Saturday, as getting everyone served takes a little time.
Shannon_C, Mar 2026
This tour was amazing and so educational - learning about London pubs and music history. A perfect was to start a multi-day visit to London. Tom was fantastic and shared the history in an interesting way. Highly recommend!!
Amy_T, Mar 2026
Alan was such a wonderful guide and had the best stories about the area and sights that we were able to see. He was also wonderful with drink recommendations at every pub that we visited and did an amazing job of making everyone on the tour feel included. If you like music and pubs- this tour is top notch! And EVEN better if you are lucky enough to get Alan!
Julia_G, Mar 2026

Excellent tour round the pubs of Soho. Although we'd been to London a few times, we saw places we hadn't been to before and learned some new stories. Our guide Tom was very entertaining and enthusiastic and we had a great afternoon, despite the heavy rain!
Laurie_H, Mar 2026
We had a fabulous time on our tour. Henry was informative, funny, and engaging throughout the experience. He catered the tour to our interests and was able to answer all our questions. Equal parts pubs and music history stories. Fabulous!
Barbara_S, Mar 2026
We had the pleasure to do the SoHo Music and Historical Pubs tour today with Gherto and it was so much fun! Gherto is so knowledgeable and personable and he provided us with history about the pubs and stories about the musicians who frequented these establishments. Was a really good time!! 100% recommend.
