We did the Soho Music & Historic Pub Tour with a group of colleagues, and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guide Tom was truly outstanding: incredibly knowledgeable, with that dry English humour and exactly the right vibe. Thanks to him, we discovered the best pubs, enjoyed local beers, and heard stories we never would have found on our own. Everything was perfectly organised: clear communication, an easy meeting point in the heart of London, and from the very first minute the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Great pubs, great vibe, great music stories — exactly what you hope for from a tour like this. Tom, BRAVO! We genuinely had an amazing time and you took the whole experience to the next level. Enthusiasm, knowledge, humour… everything was spot on. A truly outstanding experience and highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover London in a fun and original way!

Gherto led our small group so skillfully through the SoHo music heartland. It was the perfect balance of history and iconic storytelling. We soon became more than fellow travelers! What a fun group to share Historic events before our very eyes.

I was lucky enough to be the only person on the tour on a Sunday afternoon, and that was very special. Carlos was an excellent host, showed me parts of the neighborhood I had previously walked past without a second thought, was incredibly knowledgeable about the tour subject and general London history, and gave excellent recommendations to finish my trip out! I would highly recommend this tour and any other tour from Carlos. Feels like I have a new friend in London!
