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 …

She gave us such a lot of info about David , we could hear her perfectly despite some challenging tragic noise and she was so friendly..she was also very careful and considerate in making sure we were all safe along the way , especially at busy underground stations .. thank you so much x

Fantastic - Absolutely fantastic tour following in the footsteps of the great man himself. From the house where he was born, his first school to the recording studio where he recorded several albums. Jess our guide was extremely knowledgable and ensured we had a great experience. Would highly recommend.

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!
