London, United Kingdom

All aboard the magic bus to see where rock legends have played and died in London, the greatest rock 'n' roll city in the world! On this small group numbers are limited to a maximum of 16 people, ensuring you'll receive personalized attention from your knowledgeable guide. This tour by minivan will visit London's famous clubs, rock hotels, record labels, management offices and studios.

You'll see the house where Jimi Hendrix lived and died, where Freddie Mercury and Queen hung out, and Led Zeppelin's London HQ plus many more. The real fun of this tour is hearing inside stories from your informed and knowledgeable rock guide.

You will also see sites connected with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Cream, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, the Clash, Coldplay, Oasis, Mama Cass, Georgie Fame, Elton John, Jimmy Page and the Yardbirds, Cliff Richards, the Sex Pistols, Bowie, the Faces, Bee Gees, the Who and many, many more!

The rock legends tour also focuses on the most important Beatles sites, including homes belonging to Paul and Ringo, Apple HQ, EMI Studios and Abbey Road, where you can have your photograph taken on the famed zebra crossing.

This tour takes you where other walking tours don't venture! It's a great way to see parts of London you wouldn't normally visit, including Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, St. John's Wood and Soho!

Excellent value,thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Guide was very informative and very helpful.

Review by: Wendy S	January 2012
Due to traffic and a bad cab driver from the airport, I was unable to make this trip. Tried calling to inform them that I'd be a little late a quarter to the scheduled time and no one answered. The cab driver left his number and no one called back. I was dropped by the meeting spot and the people inside were totally rude and mean! Didn't give a crap that I was late and said there was nothing they could do and no other tours I could take? I strongly do not reccomend booking anything that has something to do with these people. Just sent me on my way and I was completely stranded after paying a $147 USD cab bill!

it was ok would have liked to stop and seen more

Review by: Julien F	November 2011
Excellent tour - the guide was very informed and interesting - not sure that the stop at Sticky finger's was all that necessary.

Review by: Barbara B	August 2011
Wonderful tour. There were 5 buses departing on the same trip at the same time and we ended up on a bus that was mostly Japanese tourists. The guide did a great job of interperting but it was a little distractive to have it in both languages. We would have preferred to be on an english only bus.

Review by: Jennifer S	August 2011
Any music fan would enjoy this tour. Terrific guide (I'm pretty sure it was Bruce because he's the only guide from Wales) with an incredible knowledge of music history and how it integrates into the city itself. I would absolutely do it again and bring friends. Highly recommended.

A fun and interesting tour

Review by: Chen S	June 2011
The guide was extremely knowledgeable

Review by: Joanne F	May 2011
I would not recommend this tour. To many changes to the city to see what could have been.

Review by: Laurie S	April 2011
This tour was disappointing. Many of the "sites" were along the lines of "towards the left, down that street, so-and-so once lived." I suspect that this tour is quite dependent on the guide. We did not have the infamous "Mike" mentioned in other reviews, but were initially with others who had taken the morning tour and were excited to be with Mike for the afternoon. I don't remember our guide's name. The best part was the Abbey Road crossing, but we only got about 15 minutes there. Could have used a good 1/2 hour to get pictures, read and contribute to the graffiti wall outside the studio, etc. Next time we'll just take the tube to Abbey Rd. and take our time.

Review by: Irene T	April 2011
Although our guide seemed to be knowledgeable, the van did not really allow us to see the sights well. It was more like a driving tour through the streets of London.

Review by: Osmanno C	April 2011
Bruce was an awesome tour guide. He had a great sense of rock history and made sure everyone saw something of interest. I highly recommend this tour.

Review by: Diane G	March 2011
Very rock n roll knowledgeable tour guide, need I say more?

Review by: Mr R J P	March 2011
This was a fantastic tour totally due to the brilliant knowledge and personality of our tour guide "Chicago" Mike. He had a story for every stop on the way and really brought London to life for us. A fantastic sunny day just added the icing on the cake. Would recommend this tour to anybody. Richard and Natalie (Harrow)

Review by: RANDY LP	March 2011
Good fun! Highlights for me was Abbey Road crosswalk, the bathroom window (she came in through...), Jimmy Paige house, basement where Jimmy Hendrix od'd, + lots more. Tour guide(sorry, can't remember name) did great job too - thanks!

Review by: Julia F	February 2011
A great afternoon's entertainment - a whirlwind tour of places of interest to real music lovers and those who just like to see where the celebs live.

Review by: Pauline C	February 2011
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour - guide was very knowledgeable and bonus was seeing parts of London that we hadn't been to before. We would recommend - something different.

Review by: Nicholas R	December 2010
The London Rock tour was great. Mike was our tour guide with a lot of energy. He was full of information not only relating to Rock, but also to the city of London. I would definately go on the tour again and would recommend you go as well. Thanks.

Review by: Caroline G	November 2010
Great fun to see where all sorts of rock stars lived and worked. The guide was very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to suit the interests of the particular group.

Review by: Frederick R	October 2010
Interesting, but more a tour of rock star deaths. Would have been nice to go into some of the tour locations i.e. Abbey Road Studios. Also, would have been nice if we actually had time to eat at Sticky Fingers.

Review by: Sharon S	October 2010
This tour was less than what I expected. You ride around and look at houses, stop for a drink at Sticky Fingers and finish wth a walk across Abbey Road (the best part.)

Review by: Debbie M	September 2010
The trip was fantastic! So interesting and I'm not really even a music buff. I'd love to do it again once or twice should I come back to London. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and, even though I was just tagging along to begin with (it was a prezzie for my husband), I was quickly swept up in the moment.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2010
My husband and I went on this tour last October 2009 and had Mike Boxer as a tour guide. He was AWESOME and full of knowledge about the area and how it all related to the rock eras. He played the artists music in the different areas we were visiting. We had such a great time we booked this same tour again in July 2010 when we brought our 3 teenage children back. Unfortunately we didn't get Mike and the tour wasn't nearly as good. We had an older gentleman and he didn't have the energy, excitement or knowledge like Mike did on our first tour. My husband and I were disappointed as we had pumped our kids up about what to expect. Thanks Mike.........if we ever go again we will only go in your group.

Review by: Anonymous	July 2010
Fun tour that the family enjoyed. A few draw backs though. I realize this was a rock and roll tour but the driver played the music so loud that we could only hear a portion of his commentary which was disappointing. Also, my son was really looking forward to seeing Freddie Mercury's house which was mentioned in the tour summary but the driver left this off the tour apparently due to traffic. At the end of the tour, I mentioned to the driver that seeing Freddie Mercury's house was one of the main reasons for the tour and graciously he took us to the house after he dropped off the rest of the tour participants. Thanks again Chicago Mike.

I have only recently returned to Brisbane, Australia, from a lengthy overseas holiday. Whilst in London we took advantage of your Small Group Rock Tour, and I must say I had a great time; indeed it blew me away. I was fortunate to tour with Chicago Mike in late April 2010. I was the Aussie who won the 2 Robbie Williams CDs (and slipped Mike a couple of quid not to give then to me!!) We also toured with the "Van Halens" on board, and despite Mikes suggestions, they still bought a curry from across the road from Sticky Fingers! What a great afternoon it was. Chicago Mike made this tour memorable because his commentary was interesting and informative, interspersed with witty and amusing comments. Mike was also willing to answer any question put to him and take the odd photo or two, if needed. He did great Jagger and Richards imitations, too. The tour covered many decades of music and the locations we visited brought back memories of an incredible 40-50 years (has it really been that long?) of the rock industry in London. For anybody considering this tour - don't think, just get on board and you will not forget something as memorable as this for a long time to come, especially the way Mike passionately provides commentary. Rock onto this tour and "Rock on" Chicago Mike, may the music stay with you forever.

FANTASTIC TOUR.

Review by: Kimberly M	May 2010
Very entertaining, great to see all the different sites and hear about the different events involving all the Rock Legends.

Review by: Tom Y, United States of America	April 2010
Knowledgeable guide with lots of great trivia stories. Went to areas of London we would not have explored on our own.

Review by: Anonymous, Canada	April 2010
What a great tour, really fun and informative. Got to see great parts of the city as well. Would do it again in a heartbeat, but this time I'd even do the full day tour, as at the time there was only a half day available. So, if you are a Rock music fan, just do this tour.....you'll be glad you did.

Review by: Lucy M, United States of America	April 2010
Great experience and a great guide that went out of his way to make the experience as wonderful and informative as possible.

Review by: Mike C, United States of America	April 2010
Our tour guide Mike was very knowlegeable and extremely personabable. He took a little extra time with us to share some select spots and simply knew a lot about Rock history in London. It was a great and educational time. A "must do" if you love Rock & Roll and you're going to London.

Review by: Carlo M, United Kingdom	March 2010
Excellent tour represented by a very knowledgable guide. Tongue in cheek. It was a well priced tour. I would certainly recommend this tour.

Most interesting

Review by: Peg M, United States of America	January 2010
We had the tour on Boxing Day. Turned out to be a great day for the tour traffic-wise! Our guide was terrific as he made it interesting for all ages, Beatles to Coldplay. He also shared a lot about the neighborhoods of London which really helped us to choose areas to explore. Highly recommended!

Review by: Jan M, United States of America	November 2009
This was really fun and we enjoyed our Chicago guide a lot. He was full of information and had a great knack of creating parking places so we could see everything.

Review by: Wilson S, United States of America	November 2009
Our tour guide rocked. He knew his stuff. It was by far the best tour we had in London. We learned a lot about Rock and Roll history.

Review by: Robert B, United States of America	October 2009
Englash tour guide very knowledgable of area and insightful into Central London. He was also quite impressive to be able to naviagate a 16 passenger van down very, very narrow streets to get to us to area the locals don't even get to see. Hightly Recommend.

Driver made the day great. He is very knowledgeable about the ROCK LEGENDS of LONDON. AWESOME DAY!!

We had a fantastic time reliving part of our youth. Everything was brought alive by the expert knowledge of our guide. We would and have recommended it to many of our friends.
