Ian was a great host!!! He even guided Richard the new driver in where to go, where to park. Very knowledgeable and very entertaining!

Our guide Ian was a wealth of knowledge. He had a story for every block and was a delight. Highly recommend. Also it was a great way to see the different parts of London (Chelsea, Notting Hill etc.) I’d recommend doing this one toward the beginning of your visit so you can see other parts you’d like to visit.

Incredible history of London and rock music. Colin was superb! I particularly liked the history of old pubs, the bands learned their craft.

It was nice to take a few hours out of a busy vacation to ride in a coach and learn about London rock history. But, we felt the tour itself was missing detail about the history of London's bands. Much of the things we saw were pointing out a window to say "xyz band drank here" or "so and so used that building 3 miles away in the distance on a cover of an album". Would really have liked to have had the guide bring to live what life would have been like for these bands in these neighborhoods during the time they were active and recording. We stopped into Royal Albert Hall, but were given no context for the importance of the building to rock history - rather, it was a place to spend more money on snacks and possibly souvenirs and we spent valuable time sitting around there when we could have been sightseeing more. Stopped in a nice little record store, but it was far too small for even our small tour group. The attitudes of the guide and driver were so fun and enthusiastic, but overall, for the price 3 of us spent, we could have pooled our money for an Uber to Abbey Road and walked across it a few times for photos on our own. For those that are true rock fanatics and want a fully immersive experience, skip this tour and buy a ticket to a local show instead.
