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.
