Informative walk & experience - Very enjoyable, informative walk & experience. I knew most of the history & stories associated with the walk. But it was good to hear the stories outside the actual venues & landmarks as I had not visited most of these before.

The tour through Soho wads brilliant and I will definitely do it again when I am back in London. The tour was worth every cent and gave you a great appreciation of what the artists went through in their early days of building up their careers. the history is amazing. Well worth it. Thanks Spencer you are the best xo

Soho’s Rock & Roll Secrets - We had an amazing time on the Brit Music Walking Tour! Exploring the vibrant rock and roll history of Soho was both fascinating and fun. Our tour guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also brought great energy and humor to the experience. It was the perfect mix of music, stories, and entertainment. Highly recommend this tour for music lovers and history buffs alike!

Interesting discoveries. - Nice. But being French-speaking, with a good knowledge of English, I unfortunately understood almost nothing. The guide makes no effort towards non-English speakers. That doesn't stop him from being nice.

Affordable Walking Tour - We pretty much felt like we got what we paid for. The price is affordable; you hear some good stories about the artists, and you learn about how much the area has changed over the years. If you love the Beatles, David Bowie, and Elton John, you will love this tour. Probably half the tour is about them. While mentioned, The Kinks, Stones, Who, Animals, Clash, and others....could have been covered more. This is a personal bias, I know, but to me the Beatles were an opportunistic glorified boy band from Liverpool, while The Kinks put together an eclectic, timeless array of artistic beauty that has always been under appreciated. I was hoping more would be covered about this true London band. Our guide, Jess, did talk with me briefly as we were walking and was kind enough to chat about their influence on rock history. Just wish more people knew about them. I was hopeful, but not surprised, that they are merely glossed over on this tour. Again, though, it was a good price, and a nice-paced walk through an iconic, though quite evolving, area of this great city. Jess was quite well-prepared and affable throughout the tour. It was worth two hours of our time. Sorry for the Kinks' rant! ;-)

“Too bad”. - Sadly, the operator was not accommodating. We booked the tour while visiting on a weekend London in a rush based on great reviews, then we realised that we needed it for Sunday vs Saturday (that quick pressing…). We called the vendor and they were not only not accommodating and unpleasant, they were not offering any alternative at all. Just “too bad” they said. They sent us to TripAdvisor who sent us back to the vendor … and waste of time and such a bad taste.. even airlines can accommodate. Anyway.
