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!
Great fun and experience!

5.00We had Gherto as our guide. This was a great and very informative tour where we learned a lot about Soho and various music topics. We had great drinks and a great guide. Often it seems like the guides don’t want to be there but he seemed to enjoy being a guide. I’d recommend this tour
