Very interesting and memorable! - We were only able to join the Brixton part of the tour due to time constraints, but all the places that we visited were vividly described and the Bowie story told with great skill by our guide Tim. Excellent experience.

Best choice - Our tour guide was amazing, he is excellent performer. He speaks loud and clear, easy to understand and he holds your attention during the whole walk. Highly recommended tour!

A great way to celebrate, either a personal event, or the life of the very wonderful Bowie! - We went as a small group, on this tour, to celebrate a friend's special birthday. The tour guide was friendly, informative and had lots of very interesting and amusing anecdotes to share. As a result the full group, of around 12-15 people, gelled really well. The places we visited were excellent and the story lines brought these to life. The time passed really quickly as it was full of wow factors.

Fun Tour of David’s Childhood Haunts and Sites From His Burgeoning Early Career - Tim did a wonderful job bringing the tour to life! It kicked off in Brixton where Tim took us to David’s childhood home. It was interesting learning about David’s early family life and a bit about the cultural history of Brixton itself and how David was involved. We then went to Oxford Circus on the Underground and saw some sites associated with the Ziggy Stardust years.
Couldn’t recommend this more! Bought tickets as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend and she loved it. Big up Tim ❤️

Underwhelmed! - There was no real enthusiasm shown during the tour, & the content was light. There was no narrative. We had not expected to travel by tube.

Disappointing. - I’m sad to report that this tour was disappointing. I thought we’d learn more about Bowie’s persona(s) and his creativity, but the guide was unable to bring any dynamism to the sketchy facts he knew about the buildings we viewed.
