WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN CLASSIC ROCK

Susan_A, May 2023

Kate was awesome! Very thorough and made our experience lovely walking on Abbey Road! There are other tours, I personally did classic rock with my mom and loved every little bit of info given!

Rock On

Rob_K, May 2023

Had a fun time. Got to see a lot of sites, and learn some great rock trivia. The only negative was that the London traffic meant the first 45 minutes of the tour was just getting out of the meeting area.

Beatles were the highlight.

Barbara_L, May 2023

Visiting Abbey Road and Savile Row where the Beatles last “live” performance took place were the highlights. The rest of it was mostly 3 long hours of drive bys set by our knowledgeable tour guide. Dress warm as there was only one temperature setting in the coach: deep dreeze (even despite multiple requests to modify the climate in the coach). If you are about the Beatles more than other lefends this may not be the best way to soend four hours in London.

May 2023 - Excellent time

Brian_W, May 2023

This tour brought to life the music I was raised on. Very cool to see the last day of Jimi Hendrix, amongst other things.

Awesome Rock Legends Tour

Lana_N, May 2023

The driver/guide was awesome (looked like Eric Clapton, can't remember his name, sorry) He was entertaining, funny, knowledgeable and very accomodating based on traffic and people congestion. Our favorite part was learning about and seeing all the places where Jimi Hendrix had spent his last days in London and of course anything to do with the Beatles, Abbey Road, Apple Music, etc The guide had a million stories and it was great! Only bad thing was the deplorable site that was picked for a restroom break. Need to come up with a different site with more acceptable facilities.

Long Live Rock, be it Dead or Alive!

Mary_G, May 2023

Our guide (John?) had an impressive knowledge of the London rock & roll scene. I learned lots of things that I had no idea about. He showed us all around the famous and infamous spots of r&r history. Awesome time!

Awesome!

Salvatore_M, May 2023

Clive did an amazing job! We loved every minute of the tour! The Abbey Road stop was the best! Thank you Clive for sharing your rock and roll knowledge.

The tour guide was...

Gale_M, May 2023

The tour guide was wonderful! He did it all…drove the bus, played music and was full of great stories.

Simply Amazing

Amanda_B, May 2023

This was one of the highlights of my trip. Clive was amazing and funny. Being able to see so many historic places and hear stories about the rockstars was very surreal. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is even slightly interested in rock and roll!

Informative

Eric_H, May 2023

Was very fun and informative. Clive knows his stuff. Abbey road pics were a big plus! Thank you for your patience.

A must if you're in London

Ann_A, May 2023

The Rock Legends Tour was fantastic. Our Tour guide Ian was knowledgeable, funny and completely accomadating to everyone's requests.

Marc & John were great hosts. Marc gave us excellent information and insight into rock legends.

Kathy_B, May 2023

Seeing Abby road & being able to get off the coach. Sad that I didn’t get to go to Freddie Mercury’s home but I understand that the coach couldn’t maneuver the narrow street. All in all it was well worth the money. Marc was very knowledgeable

British rock history summed up in 3 hours

Brian_F, Apr 2023

All the history behind the buildings we looked at; abbey road and royal albert hall; homes of legends

This tour Rocked!

Hannah_R, Apr 2023

Ian was such a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. The three hours flew by! He was great at pointing out rock and roll history and history of London too. the van was comfortable and we were able to get down side streets you wouldn’t see on a bus. So glad we booked this tour

Abbey road . History and...

Susan_C, Apr 2023

Abbey road . History and stories of English rock in the 1960's and more.great time . One drawback, was suppose to be small group and small coach. Ended up being a large group and large coach.

Missed

Valerie_D, Apr 2023

We missed or connection to England and missed the tour due to flight delays. Could we pretty please have a refund?

Great fun — the time flew by

Michael_S, Apr 2023

Abbey Road, Notting Hill (Island Records). Clive was casual, informative, and funny (even though I disagree with him on Tomorrow Never Knows). Meant to ask him about the Rainbow Theatre, which wasn’t part of the tour. Next time. We had a blast! Thank you.

Our afternoon with London rock historian

Ann_N, Apr 2023

Our day with Collin was just fantastic - so knowledgeable about so many bands, venues, trivia - loved the anecdotal contributions from a wealth of knowledge. We loved our afternoon touring all the musical hotspots. Collin is a rock music historian!

Highlight of our trip to London

Jessica_D, Apr 2023

Jim was amazing. We had the BEST time on this tour. Music history is rich in this area and it transported us back to all of these wonderful places we’ve only seen or heard about. A ton of fun. I encourage music lovers NOT to miss this.

Awesome Tour

Michael_C, Apr 2023

We had a fantastic time on the London Rock Legends Tour. Ian is so knowledgeable and super fun guy. He made the tour super fun and took time to let folks do a little shopping at a few special stores along the tour. I told him we were heading up to Liverpool and he gave us suggestions on a couple famous pubs to visit. We tried one and the food and drink was awesome. We are planning on trying the other on too. If you are ever in London I recommend doing the tour you won’t be disappointed.
