5.00We met our son for his 21st birthday weekend in London, got off our flight, and 2 hours later met Danny in our hotel Lobby. Exhausted yet excited, he greeted us with such personality! And our tour took off! Danny was excited to show us the pubs and gems of Soho. We visited 4 pubs, drank 1/2 pints of beer/cider, basing our selection on Danny's recommendations. He told us awesome stories, shared music experiences while we enjoyed the classic London pub scene. He took us to so many historic sights where Elton John created some awesome lyrics, where Jimmy Hendrix played at a jazz bar, and a historic guitar store on Denmark Street. Every place was cooler than the next! Danny played a huge part of our experience. He was engaging and you could tell, loved the stories and history of music. We recommend this tour to anyone who loves pubs and music and wants a true taste of London. Danny was SPECTACULAR!!!
Fabulous tour
