Very interesting and memorable! - We were only able to join the Brixton part of the tour due to time constraints, but all the places that we visited were vividly described and the Bowie story told with great skill by our guide Tim. Excellent experience.

Best choice - Our tour guide was amazing, he is excellent performer. He speaks loud and clear, easy to understand and he holds your attention during the whole walk. Highly recommended tour!

A great way to celebrate, either a personal event, or the life of the very wonderful Bowie! - We went as a small group, on this tour, to celebrate a friend's special birthday. The tour guide was friendly, informative and had lots of very interesting and amusing anecdotes to share. As a result the full group, of around 12-15 people, gelled really well. The places we visited were excellent and the story lines brought these to life. The time passed really quickly as it was full of wow factors.

Fun Tour of David’s Childhood Haunts and Sites From His Burgeoning Early Career - Tim did a wonderful job bringing the tour to life! It kicked off in Brixton where Tim took us to David’s childhood home. It was interesting learning about David’s early family life and a bit about the cultural history of Brixton itself and how David was involved. We then went to Oxford Circus on the Underground and saw some sites associated with the Ziggy Stardust years. Couldn’t recommend this more! Bought tickets as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend and she loved it. Big up Tim ❤️

A must do if you love David Bowie. - 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.

Disappointing. - I’m sad to report that this tour was disappointing. I thought we’d learn more about Bowie’s persona(s) and his creativity, but the guide was unable to bring any dynamism to the sketchy facts he knew about the buildings we viewed.

Save your money and don't bother - Very disappointing tour. The man who lead the tour was very unenthusiastic - either never a Bowie fan or just fed up with the whole thing. Very few insights or facts about Bowie - I could of done a better tour myself and I don't know that much about David (went with husband who is a bigger fan). Very boring tour just traipsing around after the tour guide and not learning much at all, everything he did say was "we think" or we believe". My husband and I were both disappointed. Also I was told this was a 3 hour tour but he had nothing left to say or show us after 2 hours 10 minutes and that included a tube ride from Brixton to Oxford Circus!
