The rock n roll tour with Henry was so informative. He tailored the tour to the interests of the group taking us to some places that weren’t originally on the tour. Henry was very knowledgeable and entertaining. This tour is worth doing.
Excellent music tour

I am not one to normally write reviews but this was a great day. If you enjoy music and getting a little back story on the songs you grew up listening to take this tour. To see the places where iconic songs and artists recorded and hung out I felt like I could imagine them there. Our guide Henry (pun intended) rocked. It was like walking around with a friend talking music.
Henry was the best

Henry was so entertaining and very knowledgeable. The tour had and easy going and laid-back vibe. We learned a lot, and he took the time to point out landmarks of our favorite bands. This tour was worth every penny. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time for a walking tour.

We selected this tour based on a similar tour we did last year (Soho mustic and historic pubs tour). We were so lucky to get the same tour guide - Danny boy! He is informative, enthusiastic and goes the extra mile to connect with the group together and individually. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
