Jeremy the London Music Tour Guide - Our driver named Jeremy arrived at our hotel early. He was enthusiastic and we loved all the tidbits of knowledge he provided for us. He even took our phone number to send us the places he researched for us. Ask for Jeremy for the tour!

Extraordinary! - Jeremy far exceeded our expectations! Knowing the rock and roll history of London (and then some!) his compassion and LOVE of music made our tour that much more enjoyable~ would highly recommend- this review does not come close to how grateful we are for booking this tour and am even more grateful Jeremy was our guide! NEVER give up your enthusiasm Jeremy- it is contagious and everyone should have a piece of that!

Definitely a Great Ticket to Ride! - Music Fans of a Certain Vintage will really enjoy this tour! Guided Expertly by Londoner Jon Cox who really knew his stuff, this trip sees the Locations associated with all the Music Legends of the 60s and 70s. The Stories came with a visual snapshot which both added colour, and gave us a chance to recreate some iconic images. Loved recreating the Abbey Road Beatles Photos, The David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust Phone Box and the fateful location where John Lennon First Met Yoko Ono. Add the Hotel Pickup and in our case dropped off at our Request at the Original Hard Rock Cafe and it made our day. The Tip from Jon about Diners at Hard Rock gaining free access to the Bank Vault with some more music treasures added further to our day. Recommended.

An Unforgettable Experience - This tour was absolutely incredible and a must do bucket list for any music history fan! Our guide and driver Steve, met us with a warm welcome to the start of the trip. He was beyond hospitable, entertaining and very funny! Just ask him about this “Steve Dinero” impression! You will be both impressed and in stitches with laughter!
Our tour covered different locations all over London from the rooftop last concert of the Beatles to the very first Hard Rock Cafe. Being on Denmark Street was such a surreal experience, where so much music publishing and studio recordings started. The history of so many amazing artists just blew us away. From learning about how they all started, from Jimmy Hendrix to Elton John and Eric Clapton and Queen to the Beatles. All the great stories Steve shared with us were absolutely amazing, and even better to be seeing these places at the same time made for an incredible experience. A big treat was see the residence of Jimmy Page! From all the Beatles history and walking down the famous Abbey Road crossing, it was just absolutely amazing. This tour gave me an even deeper appreciation for the amazing history of where so many great artists got their start. There was never a dull moment. We learned so much as we took in all the sights. It was absolutely wonderful. To top it all off, Steve took us into a guitar shop where my daughter was able to try out playing a beautiful bass! Not only was the tour fascinating, but Steve was so incredibly accommodating to us. He was so helpful with my husband, a wheelchair user, helping him all throughout the tour in and out of the cab. I have to add, this was our first time riding in an iconic London black cab and it was just awesome. I’m so glad we were able to do this tour, it was definitely an incredible experience that we will never forget!

Highly Recommend !!! Easy, fun, & no worries about getting around. - First off, I'd like to say that our tour guide Barry was very friendly, fun, down to earth and easy to communicate with. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us all around London showing us all the popular Rock n Roll spots! This tour was hands down one of the highlights of our European vacation! He kindly took pictures of our group at different locations & sent them over at the end of our tour. We got to not only see all the historical spots where the Beatles were at, but saw many other locations that include punk history, famous homes of rock stars, and he told a lot of cool stories. At the end we concluded with a pint at a pub in Piccadilly Square. I would totally do this again! Barry is the best !!!
