Our tour was amazing. Our tour guide Jeremy was even more amazing. The private tour is a touch expensive but worth every dime considering what we got to see on our own. We wish we would have did this tour on our first day in London instead of our last. We learned so much about the area along with our tour of all the amazing music history of London. Jeremy was so nice and knowledgeable. Please please ask for Jeremy and try to book on your first day. It will really open up London for the rest of your trip. Thank you again Jeremy.

Was our last day in London, our driver Jeremy, was knowledgeable and thoughtful picked us up at our hotel and immediately started asking us questions of what we had seen thus far and what we’re our interests. He catered the four plus hours with stories and antidotes, music and trivia. We walked for about an hour and traversed places that we had missed the previous days before. What a magical day spent, highly recommend!

Steve was awesome!! He took us to all the venues, and took pics ...multiple ones for us at Abbey Rd 😉 and gave us lots of info. He dropped us off where we asked afterwards. Great Rock Cab tour!

Mick was absolutely great. He knew his stuff, had lots of stuff to share, and was very flexible if we mentioned something and it struck a chord with him, he'd alter/add something to the schedule. The tour seemed Beatle-centric but we like the Beatles so it worked well for us. The specific example of adding value was that Joy mentioned she enjoyed reading about WWII history; so Mick pulled us up in front of the old US Embassy and showed us a plaque about Eisenhower (and added great commentary about both the use of the building and how the plaques work).

This tour was awesome, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Mick. Mick made the tour fun, and we learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

We are a family of teenage boys, including two musicians, and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour! We covered a lot of bands, and Mick did some itinerary adjustments to cover several of our favorites. We enjoyed getting to see parts of London we otherwise would have missed. We ended the tour by shopping at a fun record store Mick showed us. Guide was very upbeat and entertaining. Highly recommend!

Terri_S

We had such a wonderful experience with Mick! He showed us all the incredible sites where musicians got their start as well as information on different landmarks, homes of famous musicians, last performances from the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, Rolling Stone’s, The Who, Jimmy Page and that’s only a few!!!!

Great communication from our guide, David. Took us to sights we would have never found on our own. Even had umbrellas for us to use in the rain. Dropped us off at Hard Rock Cafe so we could continue our music adventure and told us to ask to see the vault. Would have never known the vault existed otherwise.

Vic M

What a wonderful tour of the least known areas of London. Barry our guide was very informative and knowledgeable with little tidbits of information that made the adventure very interesting. Like the area across the river where boxing got started and the Marcus of Queensbury rules were introduced to ring fighting. In addition to the interesting tour of Soho and the Music District. Just Fun
