This is a must do! We had the best time with Alan as our guide. He has so much knowledge and energy and made sure our tour had something for everyone. We were able to learn about some of our favorite music legends and see where our favorite songs were created. BOOK THIS TOUR!!!!!

We booked this tour on a last minute whim and we are so glad we did. Carlos, our guide, was fun, friendly and full of knowledge. The tour was so interesting.

Danny was an excellent guide ..He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure. It was great to listen to his stories
Roy_A, Aug 2026
Al doesn't just bring you to some of rock history's greatest space, he brings them to life with his rich, funny, and sometimes larger than life stories. From recording studios to old theatres, second floor flats, rooftops, and everything in between. He'll tell you all about rock's greatest legends with such a big, genuine smile, you can't help but be enraptured by his charm. A must for anyone looking to get in the know on who did what where in Soho!

What’s a fun tour. Tom knowledgeably and enthusiastically guided us through locations related to London’s impact on rock music. So much information. Delivered with humor and research, the tour is a great use of two hours in central London. Tom was great at making sure the group could hear him and everyone could enjoy the experience. 30 second dance party? Bring it on.
Mick_W, Aug 2026
From the moment we met Alan to when he said thank you for taking the tour was a wonderful experience. Alan’s stories and knowledge of the music industry are amazing
Alan ensured the whole group was involved in discussions and interactions. He asked us for our favourite artists or groups before we started and personalised the tour to include most peoples choices
Although it’s a walking tour we covered just over 2 miles in 2 hours at a sedate pace
The 2 hours flew by
Mary_L, Aug 2026
So interesting and a great deal of fun, too. Our tour guide Al is super-knowledgable, speaks in a voice we could all hear, and gave us a whole bunch of insight and fascinating facts and stories. Rock on! Highly recommended.

Calum was an amazing tour guide!
His energy, sense of humor and knowledge of Rock and Roll history is what made this tour so much fun!
Clive_C, Jul 2026
Calum was absolutely perfect for the Rock and Roll tour. Very enthusiastic, and being a musician he knew a lot about the music itself and of course the bands and there were so many interesting stories attached to every stop. He even sang parts of some of the songs as a reminder! He was funny and engaging. Thank you Calum!!

I have been looking for an email from John with a play list and group pictures but can't find it in my inbox or spam folder. He did an amazing job and was truly looking forward to the email to save the memory.

This tour was the first thing I did on my first trip to London and honestly was a highlight. Henry was not only very knowledgeable, but made the tour fun! He was very engaging and you could tell that he not only knew the information but was passionate about what he was talking about.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves music and wants to see history!
