We took our teenage son on this tour and EVERYONE had a blast. Colin was gushing with knowledge, anecdotes, and details.

This is an excerpt from a private message I sent to Viator, 12 days ago, hoping that they would respond in a professionally manner. They still have not responded: We were on your half day tour with Steve 12/30/2022. The tour is described as a small (limited to 16) group in a small coach. Instead we had a large bus with approximately 35 people (and there were 8 no shows ). This severely degraded the experience. We spent considerable time waiting on the bus, had difficulty hearing Steve as his style is casual and he is soft spoken. In essence we purchased an elevated product and were placed on an inferior tour that we never would have scheduled. We also had two of our relatives who live in London join us, and were somewhat embarrassed for our suggesting this tour.

A truly quirky and unique afternoon spent traipsing around London rock spots. We had a ball. Ian was really flexible and incredibly knowledgeable. Cruising round the city we couldn't believe the area we covered and the insights/history shared.

We had a great time on this tour and Ian was very knowledgeable and humorous. Not only did we get to see some cool rock 'n' roll spots, the tour also went through neighborhoods that I hadn't seen before. It would have been a bit better if we could have gotten out of the bus at more locations but perhaps next time I'll book the longer tour. Overall it was great and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys British rock.

The Guide was ok but it was the first time pairing with the driver. The driver didn’t knew where to slow down or where he could speed up, so we pass through all the spots too fast.

Doug_S 15th November 2022

The guide was great and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the rock history and the added touch of playing music on the bus that was reflective of what we were seeing.

Jim_T 2nd November 2022

This was a nice ride through London. The van has huge windows so you can see everything easily even though you're in a vehicle, and it makes stops at all the places you'd want to get out and grab a photo. Clive was our host and he was fantastic. He looked like Eric Clapton which was a bonus.

Sarah_M 28th October 2022

Booked this tour for my music mad son and brother in law. Unfortunately the van broke down but rather than cancel the guide persevered on foot! The boys said it was amazing, the guide knew so much and they went to so many places and learnt so much! Highlight for my boy was of course Abbey Road - he hasn’t stopped talking about it. Amazing thank you for giving them a great experience :-)

Donald_G 22nd October 2022

Ian was a superb guide to the rock and roll history of London! He was so funny and knew the fine details of the music and musicians’ history well beyond pointing out the sites. I loved how this tour was like a rock history master class. The assumption going in was you knew the music and you knew the rock stars. So we spent the time on the fine details. This is a must-do if you are a rock music fan going to London. Ask for Ian for the best of this superlative tour through London.

Awesome tour! Our guide, Jim was very knowledgeable, easygoing and had a nice sense of humor. I would definitely recommend this tour.
