Brilliant! Tour Guide was perfect, and tour exceeded expectations. Very informative, well planned, very memorable.
Fabulous tour.
Ceri was entertaining and hugely knowledgeable.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it.
Was an excellent tour. Chris was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. He took us to some cool locations and made it memorable.
We were only able to join the Brixton part of the tour due to time constraints, but all the places that we visited were vividly described and the Bowie story told with great skill by our guide Tim. Excellent experience.
Very disappointing tour. The man who lead the tour was very unenthusiastic - either never a Bowie fan or just fed up with the whole thing. Very few insights or facts about Bowie - I could of done a better tour myself and I don't know that much about David (went with husband who is a bigger fan). Very boring tour just traipsing around after the tour guide and not learning much at all, everything he did say was "we think" or we believe". My husband and I were both disappointed.
Also I was told this was a 3 hour tour but he had nothing left to say or show us after 2 hours 10 minutes and that included a tube ride from Brixton to Oxford Circus!
Absolutely loved seeing these famous spots, excellent tour for a bowie fan, especially as you get good snapshots of his life and career.

Thank you for the positive feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the tour!
It was a good excuse to go to Brixton. Otherwise the tour was quite unspectacular. A lot of walking in Soho back and forth…

My daughter and me had a great, unforgettable time on yesterday’s David Bowie tour with Chris. He guided us to all the authentic places associated with the star, giving us ample back ground information. We could ask any questions he responded to. We absolutely loved it! Even non-fans would have enjoyed it thoroughly. Many thanks, we’ll be back!
Gute, laute Aussprache und cooler Umgang mit uns lästigen Touristen; es waren auch etliche Geschichten dabei, die mich zu Tränen rührten. Solche Spots gibt's eben bzgl. David Bowie nur in London (in Berlin gibt's auch eine David Bowie-Tour, nicht so spannend).
merci Bob de nous avoir promenés de Brixton à Soho sur les traces de Bowie ... on a revu nos pochettes d'albums mythiques en live, et appris bien d'autres anecdotes musicales !
