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.

Deena_L, Jul 2026
What a fun tour! By far one of the best highlights of our trip to London. Tom was an incredible tour guide. The two hours flew by and we would have gladly stayed for a much longer tour! A must do!
Valen_W, Jul 2026
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!
Charla_G, Jul 2026
Very entertaining and amazing amount of knowledge about rock music. Incredible value! Would definitely recommend to friends.
Aaron_S, Jun 2026
This has been my favourite thing I’ve done in London hands down. Al is a wonderful; knowledgeable and very funny guide. He makes everyone feel welcome and included and personalizes the tour to everyone’s taste. The stories made my eyes wide and my heart full. 10/10 recommend.
Paige_D, Jun 2026
We took our 16-year-old daughter on this tour and we all had a blast. Callum was a fantastic guide. It takes skill and talent to make a tour of things that mostly aren’t there any more engaging, and Callum succeeded. We all know a fair bit about music, but we all learned fun facts to impress our friends. He was sensitive to keeping us out of the sun and away from the crowds, and he’s does hysterical impressions of musicians.

We did the Rock and Roll Walking Tour with Al today, and honestly - what a find❤️
We're West Londoners and we've walked these streets our whole lives. But Al completely transformed them and brought them to life - we learnt so much. He has a gift of making you feel like you're hearing a city's secrets for the first time, and I genuinely don't think we'll ever wander through those same roads again without his stories and memories of the tour coming back to us.
As big music lovers, we were still constantly surprised by how much we didn't know. Al is deeply knowledgeable, funny, and has a warmth about him that makes you feel like you're just chatting with a mate who happens to know everything about music history. You can tell this isn't just a job for him. He genuinely loves it, and that comes through in every story he tells.
I'd recommend this tour without hesitation. Thank you so much for such an amazing day Al!

Calum was great. Good for all ages. Lots of music history revealed. Good pace. My group (ages 77 to 36) had a great time.
Sallyanne_R, Jun 2026
Great walking tour with Tom, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his subject. You get to see parts of London you wouldn’t normally and some fab stories. Highly recommend.
Vic, Jun 2026
Tom has some great stories to share and he tells them with great flair. An enjoyable ride along for all fans of rock and roll.
Carla_K, Jun 2026
Danny was full of music knowledge and even sang to us a bit. My only comment is that we stopped at several places that had loud construction and potentially dangerous street location. Also, an earlier start than 11AM would be helpful.
David_E, Jun 2026
This tour provides lots of behind-the-scenes insights relating to rock and roll: British origins and contributions, tales of rock star misadventures, the meaning underlying various familiar lyrics, and more. All presented with style.
Jared_S, Jun 2026
Callum, what a guy, loads of stories and knowledge, amazing impressions and even dance moves and singing. Highly recommend this tour.
Arun_A, Jun 2026
Danny was a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of knowledge and passion. Although it was typical London rain, he kept everyone glued to his history of rock n roll in the area
Karen_A, Jun 2026
Callum has so much knowledge about the music industry. He made the 2 hours fly by, even in the rain. LOVED IT.
