5.00We had a great afternoon with Ben! The group was small with 7 people and there was time to talk and have a beer in each of the pubs. Ben is very friendly and enthusiastic and he shared a lot of fascinating information along the way. It was a really fun way to spend an afternoon!

5.00Warm welcome from Ben, our guide, who was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and a joy to chat to. Great pubs we visited and Ben recommended which lagers and ales to try. Memorable day and we highly recommend this tour. Soho was a fab place to visit and great to see some places we wouldn't have found without the help of Ben and your tour. Was also great to chat with the others on the tour.

Fantastic SoHo Pub and Rock and Roll Tour!

5.00I have traveled extensively and taken hundreds of tours. This Pub and Rock and Roll tour with Ben ranks among the top 3 tours ever. Ben was not only an excellent tour guide but it felt as though the entire tour was a total production featuring his vast knowledge of SoHo and Rock and Roll history. He projects like an actor so, don’t worry if you have a significant hearing loss, you will hear him loud and clear and with much passion and enthusiasm! I would do this tour again if I knew Ben was guaranteed to be the guide. And the pubs, beer offerings and gin options were perfect! Thank you Ben for a memorable afternoon!!
