Rock ‘n Roll Walking Tour - Excellent way to see some of the roots of rock ‘n’ roll and various parts of the city. Our guide Lucky did a fabulous job connecting with all of the participants and got to know us on a first name basis. Bravo!

Best Gig in London - Such an awesome experience to be where the music that shaped our lives was born. Tour guide Marc’s depth of knowledge and storytelling at celebrity landmarks was incredible. Driver Sunny’s driving precision enabled us to enjoy each and every stop- from Belgravia, King’s Road to Abbey Road. Thoroughly recommend this gig!

Guy from Memphis gives a review! - We loved the London Rock and Roll Music Tour! Our guide, Steve, was very informative and it was evident when he spoke that he has a real passion for rock and roll music. I wish the Tour had been longer!

Not as described - Not as described. Lucky was very knowledgeable however the presentation was just informative, we did stop at the home of Epstein and the colleges of Queen and Abbey Road however the additional items on itinerary were skipped. In addition the trip states it is a 8 hour tour and I even the ticket information said 8 hours and the tour was for just under 4 hours. I admit I was happy to be done with the event. Side note. The driver was excellent and the drive itself was better than the tour
