5.00We 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.

5.00Henry was fabulous! His energy helped to excite the group. Although I've been to London many times, this was my first time in SOHO and he made it an outstanding several hours. His knowledge and delivery of the stories left us wanting more. I would recommend both the tour and specifically Henry to anyone visiting the city and specifically this rock history rich section. Thanks Henry!

5.00We booked this tour on the recommendation from friends who had taken it earlier this year, and we are so happy we did! Our guide, Ghertó, was wonderful. After only a few minutes, we felt we had known him for years. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Soho, the musical connections to various establishments and the historical significance of the pubs we visited. I only wish the tour was longer! On our next visit to London, we will definitely utilize this tour group again. Cheers!

5.00This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was Alan, and he showed us a great time. His facts and stories about Soho were really insightful, and his musical knowledge was outstanding. He shared personal insights and stories that could only be heard to be believed. He made everyone in the group feel like a friend by the end of the talk.
