Perfect Start to Our Weekend in London

5.00Recently joined a tour with our guide Ben who made the experience so enjoyable start to finish!! The group was around 12 people total from all different backgrounds and countries. Ben made sure to include everyone through story times and getting to know each other at each stop. The pubs chosen were great for a Friday afternoon and not too crowded. A couple highlights were hearing Ben's recommendations for drinks at each pub and the wild stories of rock and roll in Soho. If you have a few hours to spare, it's definitely worth trying out!
Fun in SoHo

5.00A MUST GO!! Our group was the luckiest people of the day having Al (Allan) as our tour guide. Al made the Music/Pub tour (or do i call it a pub crawl with a ton of music knowledge walk)? It was one of the most fun ways to soak up the 'back streets' of London that you would never see unless you spend a day doing this for yourself. Plenty of drinking, learning and city-wide knowledge. In all honestly, it was one of the BEST things we did during our 3-week UK/Ireland trip. Al, probably, only gave of us about 10% of his music knowledge filling his head space…. so PLEASE, ask him anything (he will love it, giving you a very interesting answer. A 'SO MUST DO' fun, balanced, London afternoon adventure.

5.00We had a great tour with Harvey. As well as learning lots we had a fun time whilst enjoying some drinks in some lovely, historic pubs. Harvey was an excellent tour guide; very knowledgable, entertaining and we had a lot of laughs. Harvey went above and beyond by emailing us recommended cocktail bars for later in the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Harvey did a great job. We will be back to do another tour on our next visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great tour

5.00If you’re in London, don’t miss the Rock & Roll Pub Tour! This was one of the highlights of our trip. We visited several historic pubs, each with its own fascinating backstory and connection to music history. From incredible Beatles stories to tales about Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, and other legendary artists, there were surprises around every corner. But the real star of the tour was our guide, Callum. He was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, hilarious, talented, and yes, quite cute too! His passion for music and storytelling brought every stop to life and kept us entertained from beginning to end. The couple of hours flew by, and we left feeling like we’d discovered a side of London we never would have found on our own. Fun, informative, entertaining, and full of rock-and-roll secrets. Highly recommend—don’t miss it!
