Soho sex drugs and rock and roll

Very good great guide

Karen Sharpe · November 2026

It was quite a fun and engaging title that really did justice to

Becky was an excellent guide with so much energy! She first took us through the history of Soho and then showed us the places where bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Oasis performed or were even founded! She was a breath of fresh air, honestly. She explained every detail so well, showing us videos and photos from the past so that we could get the whole picture. I had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone aged 16+! ????????

Soho walking tour

Very good tour. Very interesting and informative. Our guide was excellent. The group size was a bit large for my liking. It would have been nice to have fewer than 20 people.

Janet Fern · October 2026

Made me feel welcome

I am a solo traveler and this was my first time in England. Our tour guide (shout out Becky) was so fun, knowledgeable, and ultimately very passionate. After the tour I felt some of that same passion towards a place I had never been in before, kudos. Great experience overall.
