Definitely go on this tour if you like any British rock and roll music

5.00This was a great excursion. Jon was very knowledgeable about British rock and roll. We were interested in more British rock than just the Beatles. Jon told us numerous stories about each area and the artist involved. He customized the tour to us even stopping for some Texas history located in London. Jon had pictures and videos further explaining each site. There was so much more than just, ‘this is where xyz was.’ We left the tour still talking about what we learned. You can tell Jon loves the history of music, and wanted to share. I chose this tour for the family, including two teenage girls, based off prior reviews. It turned out to be one we still talk about. If you think you can find the landmarks on your own, do the tour. Jon adds so much more. He has done so much research so you don’t have to.
Fun and different

5.00This has to be one of our favorite music tours ever. Jon was absolutely stellar as a guide & driver. He's wildly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about rock music, but also London history/facts in general. He was incredibly accommodating with our preferences (giving us plenty of opportunities to experience moment recreations from popular albums or images, but also letting us pass on ones that we weren't as interested in). He's also very happy to take general photos of the group for your memory collection - and he's a really good photographer at that! We highly recommend this tour for any music enthusiast, especially those who love The Beatles, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Oasis, The Who, and so many more!
Way more than we ever expected

5.00Jon showed us all around town, highlighting iconic places in early rock’n’roll history, including the Abbey Road Studios and Apple Studios, where the Beatles recorded Let It Be live on the rooftop. Jon was personable, extremely knowledgeable, excited to share London’s musical history, and willing to tailor the tour to our interests. I would definitely recommend that you ask for Jon Cox.
Amazing tour!

5.00This tour was a major highlight of our trip! Dave was fantastic, incredibly knowledgable and even had our teenagers fully engaged and participating. He made sure that everyone got to see landmarks that were important to them, and pointed out so much musical history on our tour. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to see wonderful music history.

5.00Dave picked us up at our hotel promptly. We saw lots of iconic landmarks, and Dave took our picture at each: Abbey Road, Picadilly Circus, Regent Street/David Bowie, Magistrate’s Court, Jimi Hendrix locations, John Lennon’s former home and more. Great photos! Dave had fantastic knowledge of the history of rock, and other tidbits. We got to see studios where legends of rock recorded. We even got to see Royal Albert Hall at the end. Terrific tour and Dave made it one of a kind with his humor and knowledge.
