We will see a number of other addresses associated with Queen. I will tell you the story of Queen at Live Aid.

Hello Grant and thank you for the guided tour, the anecdotes and all the stories you shared with us about Queen and their members. It was amazing. Can you shared the name of the book you show us during the tour, we forgot it ?

It was ok but a lot of info was what you could find on the internet (from the hosts mouth). I was expecting a few things that weren't common knowledge. Showed more things on an iPad than actual places of interest. Seeing Freddie's houses were a highlight. Would be good to have a toilet break half way, or even stop and have a beer at the pub that he said Queen used to drink at.
We recommend this tour!!

We are happy to have done this tour! We appreciate all the information Grant gave us about the group Queen, of which we are fans! It was an emotional experience knowing more stories about the group and knowing some of the places they frequented.. Thank you Grant for this opportunity!

It’s just walking through streets where there were other things years ago and you don’t get anywhere. Just tell you anecdotes that I take out of a book and you see outside the house where he lived and he shows you on iPad some pictures so that you don't feel like seeing three or four houses. Plus the guide is boring and you're not thrilled by anything. It's not worth it. Better go to a museum

Big fan of Queen who made us discover iconic corners of Freddie and Queen's life that we would never have discovered independently. Too bad we didn't have an audio guide available in our language! I would have preferred paying something more
Grant was a great tour...

Gary was a great guide for the" Freddie Mercury & Queen fan walking tour , who made a (thankfully sunny in London) Sunday afternoon all the more fun and interesting with his guiding style & lesser known facts about Queen that even my friends who i had bought this tour as a birthday gift for, did not kno as die hard fans. He mixes up facts, history and images via his iPad and alongside taking you round the more picturesque but relevant backs street of Kensington, for a tourist but Londoners born like myself made the tour even more enjoyable. Would recommend this tour for Queen fans, value for money, nice scenic route and Gary is a passionate guide on Queen
quintessentially queen!

Amazing!!! Our guide shared so much background, history and stories of all of the band members (pre & post Queen) and showed us locations we wouldn’t have otherwise know existed. We’d highly recommend the tour for any fans or tourist looking to see South Kensington and Kensington from a local perspective!
