Don’t pass on this tour! - Amazing tour. My teen daughter is the Bowie fan and this tour was more than I thought. I am beyond happy I found this for her, as I never got into David Bowie. But I really enjoyed this myself! It’s not just visiting places, it is so much enthusiasm and facts, and fun!! Grant is really really knowledgeable and down to earth! I highly recommend this tour! I wish I can find something similar for my favorite artists!

The best walking tour I’ve been on! - My wife and I met Grant in Brixton and spent the next few hours touring around Brixton, looking at David’s early years, and then Soho touring round lots of venues and places of interest They’re were many photo opportunities! Grant had a lot of stories and tales about the stops - most of which I’ll use as my own now! I saw a load of things in Soho I’d never seen before and received a couple of really great playlists to listen to afterwards Really was an excellent tour i’d 100% recommend it

Fantastic Bowie tour - It was a fantastic tour. I've been a huge Bowie fan for 45 years, but our guide Grant knew so many fun facts that I've heard new things. It is also a fun tour for non Bowie fans, because Soho is the cradle of many famous pop musicians and Grant knew a lot about that too. Highly recommended!

Best of Bowie - Grant, our guide was excellent. At the very beginning he learned our interests and incorporated them throughout the tour. It was great to start in Brixton to see where David Jones grew up and began his passion for music and then continue on to highlights of his career as David Bowie. Grant followed up with a email recapping everything we had seen. We had an open day the following day and Grant shared some wonderful suggestions, a little off the beaten path, that we never would have found on our own. Our Viator experience has been excellent, but Grant took it to the next level.

Bowie and much more - What an amazing walking tour! Bringing David Bowie to life from his birth in Brixton to all the key places in Soho that shaped his career. Grant’s knowledge not only of Bowie but also the music scene and other icons of the time is phenomenal, and we loved joy he takes in sharing. Great for Bowie Devotees or anyone interested in the London music scene in the 70’s and beyond. Highly recommend.

Great Bowie Tour - I had an excellent tour with Grant. I had been on London Rock n Roll tours before but learned so much more and saw much different things on this tour. First off starting in Brixton, where I wouldn’t have gone otherwise, was a nice change of pace seeing where Bowie grew up. Soho was an easy subway ride away. Grant was knowledgeable, adapted to what I was interested in, and overall had a great time.

Wonderful walk through London and the history of David Bowie! 😃👍🏻 - My tour guide was Grant and the tour with him was just absolutely brilliant from start to finish! 🙏🏻 I had such a great time and I would definitely do this tour again anytime. I would also like to do another tour with him as my guide in the future if possible.👍🏻 All the information he gave me were super exciting and really expanded my previous knowledge, which was so much fun! 😃 From start to finish he was very nice, patient with all my questions and really individually addressed me and my personal knowledge about Bowie. He also made the tour really interesting and varied with so much passion, joy and personal references.☺️ The time passed by so quickly, the whole experience was very pleasant for me and it just felt like having a relaxed walk and chat with another Bowie admirer on equal terms. Thank you again for that!🙏🏻 I can only warmly recommend this amazing tour to everyone who is a Bowie enthustiast and also enjoys diving deeper into the story of his life, with elements of the circumstances of his childhood, as well as the start of his creativity, first steps in the music industry and musical work in general.
