5.00We booked this tour for our Dad’s Birthday. It’s a great way to see the sights of Soho, visit small pubs you’d not normally go to all tied together with some well told story’s about the history of rock and roll. Our tour guide Ben truly made the tour. We’ll definitely be looking to book the other tours!
A perfect way to spend a stag party with Henry the music & pub tour master

5.00My best man booked this Music and Historic Pub tour as a surprise for my stag do and I have to say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Henry was an absolutely superb guide, he was so informative, funny and charismatic, it honestly felt like he was another mate coming along for the crawl! The tour combined all my interests, music history, pubs and ales and had plenty of time to enjoy some ales at each pub. We even stopped for a short break halfway to watch the grand national race as the best man had arranged a sweep stake which he ended up winning (not rigged at all apparently! 😆) We by chance finished at one of my favourite pubs in London, The Ship in Soho which I have had many fond memories going to for years and was a perfect way to end it. I would easily recommend Henry to anyone, he is an absolute master at what he does and a legend to boot!

Cracking time on the tour

5.00Excellent time. The best history tour I've ever been on; our guide, Henry, was very charming and charismatic; it really felt like he was passionate about what he was talking about whilst keeping it light and friendly, perfectly walking the line between professional tour and a pub trip with a new mate. Would definitely recommend to others
