A stroll through British rock history - Wonderful tour exploring SoHo, Chinatown and other neighborhoods to see both well- and lesser-known spots with great rock history. Grant was a kind and knowledgeable guide with a love for music and he knew many amusing stories about some of our favorite legends. The cherry on top was seeing where the Beatles played their final rooftop show. Any music lovers would appreciate this tour!

A fab tour being whisked back in time! - Grant was waiting for us at the advertised location even though we arrived early. Not to give too much away, we relived the London rock n roll scene by visiting many iconic locations. Grant shared his knowledge and passion for music generally and I would definitely recommend this tour to aficionados of 60’s/70’s & 80’s. Also to say it’s great to walk and get absorbed into a great part of London without worrying about getting lost!

London walking music tour - Got shown some great bits of London we had never noticed before, so much to see in quite a small and very varied area right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Soho and surrounds

Very bad tour - This tour was a total waste of time and money. If I wanted to watch utube pictures and videos, I would have done this from my hotel room. The two hour tour was primarily a long walk. The tour guide seemed disinterested. My first Viator disappointment. Avoid the tour and save some money
