Our customers say...
"My wife Angela and I had a very enjoyable and informative London Rock Tour last Wednesday, 11th September. with Rob as our Tour Guide. I used to work in Piccadilly during the 60s, so many of the locations Rob introduced us to were familiar (though sadly nothing like as brilliant as they were back then!). Carnaby Street is now pretty soulless (I spent many lunch hours walking about its environs, so I know what a colourful and "buzzing" place it was), as was Denmark Street (now a shadow of its "Tin Pan Alley" days). However, the Tour brought back many happy memories.
However, the main reason we enjoyed ourselves so much was Rob's excellence as a Tour Guide. He was enthusiastic, informative and very personable. And his audio-visual aids were excellent. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has an interest in those wonderful 1960s musical times. The whole experience was brilliant! "

"A group of us did Rob's James Bond walking tour recently. At a relaxed pace he packed in a load of info about 007 and the London locations of the JB movies. Rob was very personable and knowledgeable on his subject. He involved us by asking questions about Bond, who our favourite Bond actor was etc. But he was also able to answer just about all of our questions that we asked him. I was a cold winter's day, so I was happy that he ended the tour in a warm pub!"
