One of the best tours I’ve done in a long time. Fun and interactive, because we were a small group, everyone mingled. Gherto was our guide and he had lots of info on the history of the soho area and rock & roll history. Once the tour was done some of us met for fish and chips after. Highly recommend
Amazing afternoon with a fantastic guide.

Al has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Rock and Roll. He shares his knowledge with generosity and enthusiasm. It was so much fun experiencing the sights and locations where my favourite music was born with someone who is passionate about them. The pubs on the tour were absolutely stunning each had its’ unique and interesting history. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon!
Five stars for an excellent Soho tour.

We decided to do this tour during a few days holiday in London. Ben was an excellent guide.- enthusiastic, personable, knowledgeable and interested in his er guests. Part of the beauty of a tour like this is that it takes you down alleys that you might wonder about, but probably wouldn't dare venture down on your own... Overall a very pleasant experience.

Charming guide and great to hear about pub culture in London. We thought maybe there would actually be music but it was music history, not actual music of Soho.
