Description
I have been involved in the music business, running my own label to being signed as an artist, to managing a rock band. I have experienced many stories that I'd love to pass on! What to Expect You won't believe how much musical talent was crammed into one small iconic street! The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elton John, Black Sabbath, the list goes on and on. As we move through Soho discover stories of the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Oasis, the Beatles (and Paul McCartneys headquarters!) and how a small coffee shop played a part in British RocknRoll.

So informative! Evren was awesome. Laid back and very personable with expert knowledge of the historic and current music scene in London. His stories about famous artists will blow your mind!! Best tour we have taken in London.
We had a great tour with our extremely knowledgeable guide. Easy walk through the city, discovered a lot of hidden gems in plain sight. Fun seeing guitar shops, diverse record stores, recording studios sprinkled throughout the city and their rich history. Highly recommend!
Evren gives an amazing tour! We had a great time and learned a lot. I loved hearing about places I've only read about my entire life-and because of it, my kids have also heard about these places because of my blathering about. Both of my kids have been Led Zeppelin and Who fans since they could talk and understand what I'm saying. We really enjoyed hearing Evren lay down his knowledge and his experience.
Cheers Aarron, it was great to meet a big musical family!
Evren was a wealth of knowledge and great storyteller. Friendly and open to questions and conversation. We really enjoyed our time with him. Highly recommended!
Thanks Lisa, nice of you to say!
It was so interesting with lots of fascinating stories from Evren, our guide. He was friendly, interesting, professional knowledgable and fun! It was really great, especially for people with a big interest in music. He shared relevant photos and anecdotes, showed us lots of quirky places and the time passed really quickly. Would definitely highly recommend this tour.
Thanks Caroline, I’m glad you all enjoyed our walk round the magical music area of Soho!
Evren was great! Loved walking in so many famous footsteps through the past 60 or so years. We were able to see bars, venues and studios where many band members got their start and performed. As a fellow Londoner, Evren had many personal stories to share. Besides stepping through rock and roll history we got to see some very cool parts of Soho. We especially enjoyed the ‘after tour’ stop at the oldest pub for a pint and more of Evren’s personal stories.
Thanks Aimee, it was nice to talk to a fellow Londoner!
Our guide was a wealth of knowledge of all things musical in London! He was very interesting and personable. He went above and beyond to make the tour memorable. I highly recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed :-)
Thanks Christine, I appreciate your kind words!
Great tour, very informative and paced perfectly. I learned a lot about the rich history of rock music in London, and the guide kept it engaging throughout. Highly recommended for music fans and anyone interested in London’s cultural history.
Thanks Jose!
I highly recommend Evren and his tour! It was like walking around with a friend. He shows the historical spots of London’s rock ‘n’ roll history, of SoHo. Being that my father lived in London during the 60s, as a Mod, it was pretty cool to see some of the same theatres, concert halls, streets, and recording studios that has spoke about. This was the first item on our agenda, to start our week and a half long vacation. Fantastic way to start off our trip. Thank you Evren!
Thanks Andrew it was great to meet you!
Evren was very knowledgeable and engaging in this tour. Wonderful to learn so much about the music scene and his personal experiences
