That actor Tom from Birmingham 🤟 was fantastic! So personable, fun, and full of personality. He made the experience extra special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend Tom! ⭐️🤟🫶🇬🇧

Well worth the time if you love British rock and roll

Carlos kept us engaged with his humour and vast knowledge of British rock and roll throughout this very interesting two hour tour. In our small group of 12 he kept us going at a good pace, moving between different locations in and around the Soho area, with a number of photo opportunities along the way.
A lovely way to spend my last day in London before heading back to Sydney.
