This was an exceptional tour for any lover of Bowie and Soho. Aidan clearly has a very deep knowledge and passion for Bowie, music and old Soho. This is the best walking tour I've ever been on. I've already booked onto the Ganglands tour. Aidan was happy to answer questions between stops and even followed up with a list of things to read/watch/listen to after the tour. The price is great and it was a very enriching way to spend two hours.

Superb ‘no stone unturned’ tours
This tour is superb! Before Bowie became a household name , he did a lot of grafting in various bands which this tour covers perfectly. Aidens knowledge is incredible ( I’ve also done the Punk in Soho and Strummer Walks tours,) the attention to detail is what puts these particular tour head and shoulders above others . Aiden was ACTUALLY walking the walk in the 70s in Soho so having personal knowledge is superb - his delivery of these walking tours will keep you captivated for sure …. No reading scripts with this tour guide for sure !

A MUST if you love British rock
We did the Bowie’s SoHo Walk today and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Aiden is absolute fount of rock n roll history knowledge and we could have gone on for another 2 hours, it was that engrossing. As a massive Bowie fan, it was magical for me to retrace his life in the area before he really “broke” and made it to the big time. Aiden is equipped with a library of historical photos of the buildings and the characters as they looked back in the day. He’s a true music fan, has done the research and has the pacing and storytelling down very well, a true professional. If you’re a fan of British rock and/or punk, his tour is a MUST.

London finest historian.
Aidens Gangland London is a fantastic and fascinating insight into the gangsters that frequented London and Soho from 1920s onwards. His knowledge of events is simply mind-blowing and he is withoit doubt one of the finest London historians. It was a two hour tour but I could have continued all day. Just brilliant.

London's best tour guide
Aiden is still London's best tour guide. Fifth one I've done with him, four in Soho, and he's still full of new info, knowledge and anecdotes. Unbeatable.

Bowie's Soho Walking Tour
I'm a big Bowie fan but there was so much I didn't know about his early career in Soho. Aidan was very informative and clearly knew his stuff very well! It was great to see the studio where Space Oddity was recorded.

Doesn't get any better than this!
I'm 53 and LOVE punk. My sister is 63 and doesn't know a darn thing about punk. Scratch that. She DIDN'T know anything, but now knows a lot! We were both hanging on every word, story, anecdote, and wisecrack of Aiden McManus. He shares his unbelievably in-depth knowledge of British punk with acerbic humor (very apropos), incredible detail, and loads of personality. I learned so much amazing history, and needless to say, it was exciting to be right in the spots where it was made. I can only hope that someone will videotape Aiden relaying his immense knowledge before it gets lost in the sands of time. He is not only mind-bogglingly smart on the subject, he's wildly entertaining. 100% worth it! Tip heavily!!

The storey, hangouts and some important photo shots before Bowie was famous
Very informative and Aidan is very engaging. Tour lasts for two hours and Aidan takes you to some really interesting venues supplemented with almost encyclopedic knowledge and wit!
