The Experience
What your day looks like
We call this our Classic Rock Legends tour because it covers sites and locations relevant to the history of so many 60s, 70s, and 80s artists in the elite neighborhoods of Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill Gate, and St. John’s Wood. Tour the sites that made the Sixties swing; where London’s hippie underground ‘counter-culture’ took off; and where the 70s punk revolution took place! See the boutiques, pubs, and clubs that MADE these decades, inspiring hundreds of well-known lyrics and melodies! YES, you do get to walk across that famed ABBEY ROAD crossing! This is the ORIGINAL London Rock Tour! Accept no substitutes or posers! If classic rock acts such as Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Bob Marley, Queen, and the Rolling Stones are your favorites then this is the tour for you! The tour also covers where Geldof conceived Band Aid and Live Aid, where and how the Sex Pistols was formed, the Clash’s neighborhood and the cradle of Reggae. We pass the homes of Freddie Mercury, Jimmy Page, McCartney, and Clapton, and see where Jimi Hendrix died. With so many celebrities living in these parts of London you never know who you might see in passing! For Stones fans, there’s the legendary Edith Grove apartment, various of Jagger’s houses, the ‘Sticky Fingers’ restaurant, plus studios, record company offices, gig sites, secluded hotels, album cover locations, and story, after story from your informed rock guide.

I do feel badly giving this tour such a mediocre review, but the truth is, it is a little slow. The tour guide did a wonderful job, and he was entertaining and knowledgeable, but I really didn't feel there was just a lot of substance to this tour. We drove by neighborhoods and buildings where it was pointed out that someone famous had a drink, or someone recorded a song there, and it really was just a relaxing bus ride. We had some excellent tours before this, and I think that is why we weren't "wowed" by this tour. It was okay. Way too expensive. Oh, by the way, we weren't exactly sure if we were at the right location for the starting point. There were no signs, just a Premier bus with people standing around. A little sign would have been helpful. Also, it is a large bus tour, and maybe that is my fault for not realizing that in advance. It is a large group tour. We had a couple stops that were fine. Walking across the Abbey Road crosswalk was exciting, and we are glad we did it, but we took our lives in our hands. The locals were not at all happy to have the tourists trying for photos there. The stop at the tiny Beatles store was not at all necessary. I would sadly not recommend taking this tour, based upon the price and the sights that we were shown. Again, nice tour guide.

Jim did a great job sharing his knowledge, taking pics of our group, and he had a fun music loving personality. We had a great time.
