The tour led by Grant was...

5.00The tour led by Grant was exceptional. We were lucky enough to be the only ones that day and thus we were able to have a great one on one conversation. Grant was very knowledgeable even beyond the topic of Bowie and would manage to impress even the biggest Bowie fan. In addition he gave some great suggestions on what to see and do in London. He's very happy to discuss and answer questions about rock history and culture. I would recommend everyone to do this tour especially during the first few days in London.
Thoroughly entertaining tour... even if you aren't a mad Bowie fan

5.00We booked this tour through Get Your Guide for a trip out with friends who love Bowie. It was excellent. Grant, our guide, had carefully picked locations that mark key points in Bowie's life, and his friendships and collaborations with other artists of his time. Our friends already knew a great deal about Bowie, so there was plenty to chat about, and they learnt a lot of new things too. Grant is full of interesting stories and amusing anecdotes. The tour was as described in the booking details and ran to time. Thanks for a brilliant tour, Grant! Highly recommend.
Great Bowie tour

5.00We had a great, entertaining and very informative tour of the hotspots that brought us closer to David Bowie. Our tour guide Grant was just fantastic 🤩 He had an in-depth knowledge of this exceptional artist and conveyed that very well. It's obvious that he's a huge fan. You could understand him very well, he responded well to the individual participants and it was just fun to walk with him through Brixton and Soho. For every Bowie fan (or even non-fans/music lovers) absolutely RECOMMENDED!!! Always happy 💜

5.00Myself and friends treated another friend to this tour for a birthday present. It was the birthday girl who is a lifelong Bowie fan and the rest of us weren't sure what to expect. What a great afternoon we all had! The tour is well planned out but it is Grant who makes it. He is warm, engaging and such a mine of information about Bowie and the music scene generally over the eras. The birthday girl says: 'Grant was great, very passionate about Bowie which I loved. And very knowledgeable. I felt he really appreciated my enthusiasm for Bowie. It was very generous of him to forward on so many links afterwards. Will strongly recommend to other Bowie fans. A memorable day for me very special.' We all felt it was an excellent tour and great value for money. Highly recommend. Thanks Grant!

5.00Our tour guide Grant was incredibly knowledgeable about David Bowie in every way. He was also very personable and accommodating. His knowledge of all types of music was also very impressive. Could not recommend his tour more highly.

5.00Fabulous time reminiscing about David Bowie, seeing important locations in his life. It was a joy to be in the company of Grant, the guide. There is a walk around Brixton and then you take the underground to Soho. Highly recommended .

5.00There were only 2 of us and it was like a private lesson. Grant was very informative. He’s like an encyclopedia of knowledge about music in general and David Bowie in particular. A must for any Bowie fan.
The BEST rock tour of London and a MUST for Bowie fans with Mr. Grant!

5.00We had booked our David Bowie Walking tour in good time. It turned out that on the 28/7 day we were the only ones who had registered for our trip. It was a fantastic experience primarily because of our English guide Grant Gutteridge. Grant was very, very friendly and welcoming and had a very great knowledge of David Bowie, which he conveyed in a wonderful way. He spent more than 3 hours with us that afternoon and it became an unforgettable experience for both of us. After the trip, Grant was so kind to send us everything he had told us so we could better remember it. He also came with recommendations for what we could see in London before our trip home. It meant that we also got to see the fantastic neighborhood Shoreditch. We would like to give a great recommendation from Grant Gutteridge and say thank you for a great experience.
