Amazing your a must for all music lovers 😎🎸 - Well we were very luck to have the undivided attention of Evren our tour guide today. Despite the awful weather we braved it out and we are only to glad we did. I bought this tour for my son as a gift for finishing school. He loves music and plays guitar so was really surprised when he found out what we were doing. The three of us set out and toured around the back roads of soho past soho square and wardour street whilst admiring the old buildings where famous people like Elton John, paul McCartney, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, David Bowie and many more created and recorded music. The knowledge of Evren was amazing and coming from a musical background he had many a story to share. After admiring the many amazing guitar and music shops we finished up at the very tiny pub where George Orwell even used to drink to listen to more stories. Highly recommend this tour. If you live music you’ll love this. Only to pleased to recommend this tour and give Evren a fat 5 star review.

Fantastic Walking Tour - Myself and my son had a fantastic walking tour with Evren. We couldn't praise the tour highly enough, from the minute we met up with Evern, right through to the end, the tour was informative, funny and a must for music lovers and history buffs. It was the best thing we did on long weekend in London. (far better than museums and bridges :) Many thanks Evern, Stephen & Sean
