Just book it - Long story short, my 3.5-days stay in London wouldn’t be as gorgeous without Grant’s David Bowie Golden Year tour. It provided a unique dimension to explore the city where the Starman was born, struggled and become a super – all through Grant’s lovely guide. It’s absolutely impressive and lucky to have one’s lifelong habit being converted into 2 hours walking tour (and actually more than that), of which embraced stories and places where happened. Grant is so informative with tremendous knowledge on David Bowie and he never hold back. I particularly like the lifelong friendship between George Underwood and David Bowie – his story with David Bowie was mentioned from Stockwell Primary, Brixton to Trident Studios in SOHO. It was like the thread that runs through the whole journey which brings more depth of time. I am quite a new fan to David, and I really have experienced more than expected through this tour. The pure adore was expressed through generations and ages. Participating Grant’s tour could be one of the best ways to read the texture of a Starman’s life and his footprints in the great city. Highly recommended.

David Bowie - all that you need to know - Our tour guide Grant was very knowledgeable and also incredibly enthusiastic about the subject -David Bowie. We were very fortunate to be in a small group (only 4 of us) so there was time for lots of chat and questions. I learnt so much about David Bowie’s life. This was such a great way to spend an afternoon. Thanks Grant

A must do for Bowie fans - We had an incredible afternoon on our tour with Grant. He shared so many facts and stories about Bowie that we hadn’t heard before. His love of Bowie and music in general made this one of the best guided tours we have ever done. From seeing where Bowie lived as a small child to where he hung out, recorded and performed, to getting to recreate the album cover of Ziggy Stardust if you’re a fan of David Bowie this tour is an absolute must!

In Depth Bowie Experience - Totally in depth Bowie experience. Grant really knows his stiff. Loved seeing the Bowie Memorial at Brixton and had a great time with Grant leading through all the alley ways of Soho and showing us all the Bowie haunts. Grant obviously enjoys what he does, loved his enthusiasm.

A real treat! Great way to explore London and appreciate the music world. Would recommend. - An excellent experience. Grant is so informative and told so many interesting stories about Bowie’s life and also weaved in other interesting music stories. Could honestly listen to him for hours he is so interesting! Learnt many new things about London and the music world. You don't have to be a Bowie Fan to appreciate the experience as very interesting regardless. Great to walk the streets of London and enjoy the vibes. Took us to a couple of really good pubs too. Excellent value for money. Would strongly recommend
