Great guide, scenic &historical relevant route, value for money - Gary was a great guide for the" Freddie Mercury & Queen fan walking tour , who made a (thankfully sunny in London) Sunday afternoon all the more fun and interesting with his guiding style & lesser known facts about Queen that even my friends who i had bought this tour as a birthday gift for, did not kno as die hard fans. He mixes up facts, history and images via his iPad and alongside taking you round the more picturesque but relevant backs street of Kensington, for a tourist but Londoners born like myself made the tour even more enjoyable. Would recommend this tour for Queen fans, value for money, nice scenic route and Gary is a passionate guide on Queen

Amazing!!! - Amazing!!! Our guide shared so much background, history and stories of all of the band members (pre & post Queen) and showed us locations we wouldn’t have otherwise know existed. We’d highly recommend the tour for any fans or tourist looking to see South Kensington and Kensington from a local perspective!

Had a good time during... - Had a good time during our tour with Grant. You can see his enthusiasm for Queen, which he conveyed very sympathetically. The tour lasted 2.5 hours. It was a bit of a walk, but it allowed us to see some corners of Kensington that we would never have seen otherwise. Lots of interesting anecdotes, we would recommend the tour :-)

Fantastic - If you are a fan of "QUEEN " offer yourself a guided tour in group or like us a private tour as a really great couple. Grant is really fantastic, this retired ex-cop is a fan of sports and music, he will take you all around Kensington on a ride tracing the life of the band from its beginnings to Freddy Mercury's final resting place. This long 3-hour tour fills with anecdotes and history about this mythical group but also about Freddy and Mary's life without forgetting Jim Hutton. Grant is extremely kind, very considerate....he has even kept some attitudes of his old profession.. when you cross a street , he is always in protection and very attentive.... Thank you, Grant. He'll show you his pictures with Brian May... and so many others. A great tour for the group enthusiasts with a great guide Go ahead 👍 If you're a fan of "QUEEN," treat yourself to a guided group tour or, like us, a private tour for couples. It's truly amazing. Grant is truly fantastic. This retired police officer is a sports and music fan. He'll take you around Kensington on a tour tracing the band's life from its beginnings to Freddy Mercury's final resting place. This long, 3-hour tour is filled with anecdotes and history about this legendary band, as well as the lives of Freddy and Mary, not to mention Jim Hutton. Grant is extremely kind and considerate. He's even retained some of the same attitude from his former job. When you cross a street, he's always protective and very attentive. Thank you, Grant. He'll show you his photos with Brian May...and so many others. A great tour for band fans with a great guide. Go for it 👍

WORTH IT, NICE TOUR - Very interesting tour, you visit on foot the significant places (where they played, lived, studied, where they got married). Nice walk, exciting for those who, like me, love this group

A must take tour for any Queen fan! - It’s been a real pleasure to have Grant as a host. Very friendly, professional knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a big plus to know he actually experience a Queen live concert (Wembley 1986). He answered to all our questions and also gave us an all round idea of what is like living and experiencing such a lively and exciting city as London. Thank you Grant, I hope our paths cross again in the future. Arrivederci and grazie from Italy!

Sunday memories about Freddie! - Grant was extremely knowledgeable. Took the time to explain and told us lots of stories about Freddie Mercury and Queen. Things that I did not know so I found it very interesting. The only reason I did not give it. A five star rating was it was a lot of walking.
