Excellent round walk from TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD Station - Aiden is an engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgable guide with an irreverent sense of fun. The walk takes 2.5 hours - but at most you walk for two minutes between stops, at which point Soho landmarks, rehearsal studios, recording studios, venues and famous moments in punk rock history are pointed out to you.
Can’t recommend highly enough, especially for what he charges. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
NOTE: Viator instructions are unclear. Meet Aiden outside Exit One of TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD STATION.

Great tour! - This tour was well worth it. Aidan was a funny and knowledgeable guide who you could tell really cares about punk rock and its place in musical and cultural history. It was cool to see the sites where the Pistols, the Clash and others played and learn more about the birth of punk. Lots of funny anecdotes and quips from a guy who was there as an impressionable youth. And I learned more about history in general than I was expecting. Highly recommend.

Pistols perfection! - Aidan’s tour is absolutely brilliant. He’s a great character who brings the spirit of punk to life in an engaging, educational and entertaining tour. Whether you know nothing about punk, or think you know everything about it, you will learn so much on this tour. I would HIGHLY recommend it for solo travellers, couples and friends. 10/10 and would absolutely do it all again!

History of British Punk rock - Aiden was very knowledgeable and personable, told great stories. He knows his stuff! He took us all around soho and even if a club was no longer a club, he could tell us the history. Also talked about the history of Soho as a neighborhood and other neighborhoods that were influential in punk. Thoroughly enjoyed tour.

Fun, raucous, rockin' morning with Aidan. - Give it a go, even if you think you know everything about the Sex Pistols. Aidan has the Pistol attitude and presents his knowledge in his very special punk way. The Soho neighborhood is chock full of punk and rock history and Aidan delivers anecdotes that'll keep you amused and entertained! Good stuff!

Badass Punk Rock Tour!!! - This tour was an absolute blast!!! The tour guide was so cool, knowledgeable, and hilarious! This was definitely one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. It’s a really fun way to not only get punk rock history in SoHo, but you also get so much other incredible music history as well! This guy is a wealth of knowledge of punk rock in London/SoHo! This is a must do for punk rock fans!!!!

Certainly Worth It! - Aidan is a great guide. He knows the history of the London music scene back and forth - not just Punk but all genres including 60s blues rock like The Stones, Clapton, Led Zeppelin, etc. Also Glam scene like Bowie, Jazz, New Wave and Heavy Metal. He has a warm personality and good sense of humor. You won’t be disappointed.

Punk music and its role in music history comes alive again for 2.5 h - great !! - If you want to immerse yourself in the origins of contemporary music and learn how punk has significantly influenced it, and if you want to visit places of music history in Soho where all the greats of British music have played, this tour is a MUST. Aidan did not read his knowledge, he witnessed the time in the mid-70s when punk music enriched the British music world and the rest of the world with new inspirations. Aidan brings this time back to life in more than 2.5 hours. Thank you for this great experience, Aidan.
