4.00Loved the area we walked thru, the alleys, the commentary was great, but a bit disappointing we didn't get inside anywhere. Only viewing commemorative markers and exterior of buildings.
Fantastic tour through rock history

5.00Henry was an amazing guide and really made the history of rock come alive. He told us great stories at each place and you could really feel his own love of music come across. Great tour and a great guide.
Fantastic tour!

5.00“Danny Boy” was a fantastic guide. I thought I knew a fair bit about some of my favourite British musicians but Danny had some great stories and insight about artists like the Stones, the Who, Bowie, Zeppelin and the Beatles. Great tour and highly recommended.
Great tour.
