5.00We took multiple tours while in London for a week and this was, by far, the best! Al was incredibly knowledgeable about the music scene, SoHo, and London in general. He kept us laughing and immersed for hours, stopping at fantastic pubs along the way. A definite don’t miss!

Pub crawl review

5.00We had an incredible time on our Soho pub crawl thanks to our tour guide, Al. From the moment we set off, he created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere it felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend who just happens to know all the best local spots. What really set Al apart was his incredible musical knowledge. At nearly every stop, he had a story to share about the artists, venues, and history tied to the Soho music scene. From classic rock legends to modern icons, he brought the city’s musical past to life in such a fun, engaging way. We learned so much and laughed just as much. The pubs themselves were all great choices, each with its own character and vibe. Al kept things moving at the perfect pace, making sure everyone was having a good time while still feeling relaxed. If you’re looking for a night out that’s equal parts fun, social, and surprisingly educational, I can’t recommend this tour and Al highly enough. Easily one of the highlights of our trip! Cheers! 🍻🎶

5.00OMG. Knowledgable, hip and oh so fun! Beer and music (rock n roll) is never a bad combo, but Gherto, made it personable and entertaining. No cap. Great variety of pubs along with beer recs that we are still using.
