What an amazing tour! Aiden really was a part of this history and it comes through in his authentic presentation. So much knowledge would be a shame to not share so this excursion is a gift to the amazing history of London.

Very enjoyable walking tour with my 14 year old son. Aiden knows his stuff and really made the walk interesting, informative and fun. We were tired by the end of it...it is a 2.5 hour walk but easy pace and plenty of stops. Lovely guy and was a great experience with my teenage son.

Never mind the Harry Potter play or queuing for hours to get into Buckingham Palace, here’s the punk rock way to spend an afternoon in London! Aidan’s tour is a gift for anyone interested in the Pistols, punk, general rock ‘n’ roll history or how London has changed over the past 40-odd years. The man has fantastic depth of knowledge and tells the stories brilliantly. Plus he was actually there during the ‘70s punk explosion, so he shares unique personal recollections and corrects the record on some well-worn myths. On the day of my tour, knowing I was a horror fan, he even showed me some bonus Peeping Tom locations at the end. Very much appreciated, sir!
