“Jack was a brilliant tour guide, he was so knowledgeable about Harry Potter, but gave us lots of interesting facts about London too. I would definitely recommend doing this tour. The only thing I would mention is the fact that the iPad that he was carrying was quite badly cracked and some of the tour was based on watching a video on the screen, which was really hard to see.”

“We had such a great afternoon with Henry and the group. He has such a vibrant personality and was so much fun to listen to. We learned lots of things that were fun and interesting about some of our favorite rock ‘n rollers! Loved walking around SoHo and Carnaby Street and imagining life as a musician in previous decades. The Pete Townsend story was worth the price of admission! This was a great way to see historical rock ‘n roll sites and to walk around in an area that we might not have gotten to otherwise.”

Short, snappy information about the individual places and then we continued dancing and singing. It was a lot of fun and we would recommend it to everyone. Thank you”
