I'm a big Bowie fan but there was so much I didn't know about his early career in Soho. Aidan was very informative and clearly knew his stuff very well! It was great to see the studio where Space Oddity was recorded.

I'm 53 and LOVE punk. My sister is 63 and doesn't know a darn thing about punk. Scratch that. She DIDN'T know anything, but now knows a lot! We were both hanging on every word, story, anecdote, and wisecrack of Aiden McManus. He shares his unbelievably in-depth knowledge of British punk with acerbic humor (very apropos), incredible detail, and loads of personality. I learned so much amazing history, and needless to say, it was exciting to be right in the spots where it was made. I can only hope that someone will videotape Aiden relaying his immense knowledge before it gets lost in the sands of time. He is not only mind-bogglingly smart on the subject, he's wildly entertaining. 100% worth it! Tip heavily!!

Very informative and Aidan is very engaging. Tour lasts for two hours and Aidan takes you to some really interesting venues supplemented with almost encyclopedic knowledge and wit!

Great couple of hours spent with Aidan on the Bowie tour. If you like David Bowie, don't miss this tour, you will love Aidan's irreverent style, knowledge and humour. The tour takes you from Denmark Street through Soho and ends on the street where the picture of Ziggy Stardust album cover was taken. You get a great insight into the early creative mind of Bowie.

A super fun tour! It was a chilly Saturday, but the fun facts and incredible attitude from the guide kept us warm! I have always enjoyed visiting places of the greats as it helps to put their lives in perspective and our tour guide really created a great insight of how 'it would have been'. Music is more than just sound, and the context really matters and this tour showed that about Bowie and his decades.
