We loved the Soho Pub and Music tour with Harvey. He was fun, energetic, and a great storyteller. We were traveling with college age kids and all of us enjoyed the pubs and history! I would absolutely recommend the tour if you are in London!
Linda_L, Jun 2026
I have traveled extensively and taken hundreds of tours. This Pub and Rock and Roll tour with Ben ranks among the top 3 tours ever. Ben was not only an excellent tour guide but it felt as though the entire tour was a total production featuring his vast knowledge of SoHo and Rock and Roll history. He projects like an actor so, don’t worry if you have a significant hearing loss, you will hear him loud and clear and with much passion and enthusiasm! I would do this tour again if I knew Ben was guaranteed to be the guide. And the pubs, beer offerings and gin options were perfect! Thank you Ben for a memorable afternoon!!
