Such a great thing to do and to see parts of London with so much history linked to David Bowie. This is a real must for not just Bowie fans , but those with an interest in music history, as you will see and learn so much. Jenny was great with j retesting facts and photos you would never see, like David’s birth certificate. Thank you … “Time may change me / But I can't trace time"….. but you can you with Brit Music Tours.

Very interesting tour. Enjoyed spending time in Brixton and then Soho. Jess, our guide was very informative. Interesting facts. Jess was always respectful the amount of noise around (i.e., stopped when there was a siren) and we could always hear him. We would recommend.
