Excellent Tour Jam-Packed with Rock and Roll Knowledge

Bob_R, May 2025
Fantastic! Who would know there is so much rock and roll and music history is such a small area of London. Jon is an engaging guide and super-knowledgeable about what happened where. Each block we walked down, from Denmark St to Carnaby St and around each one, had an incredible amount of action. I’ve done a lot of different tours and this one is a winner, whether you’re interested in the 50s and 60s or newer artists up to the present. Book now and rock on!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you Bob. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. I look forward to seeing you again on another tour.
