Absolutely terrific. Henry was such a nice and funny guide, told us so many stories and what can I say, we had a lovely time, learned many secrets about Soho and it's rock'n'roll history, visited really nice pubs and fell in love with all of them (which clearly had to do with Henry's stories) Definitely recommend!
Lots of pub hopping

Sy was an excellent tour guide. Very welcoming and friendly. Very knowledgeable with good sense of humour. I lived in London for the last 32 years but learned a lot of interesting things yesterday. Sy recommended drinks at every pub which were excellent choices for someone who doesn’t drink lager! I definitely will be recommending this tour and Sy to my friends!

This tour with Sy is a must do! SY was amazing! Highly recommend! Sy made you feel like you were with a group of mates from the get go. He is very knowledgeable and helpful, and a great all round vibe. It was so awesome to learn about Soho, its pubs and musical history. Such interesting roots!!! I feel like your usual Londoners don’t even know about half of what we learnt! Very special and fascinating tour. Thanks again Sy!!!
Loved it!
