“We Could Steal Time, Just For One Day…”
Our tour guide, Grant Gutteridge, was tremendously knowledgeable about David Bowie, both the artist’s long and storied career, as well as his early years as David Robert Hayward Jones. Along the way, Grant shared anecdotes about several other luminaries of the British rock and roll scene, and their unique relationship to London. Grant is also quite kind. And was very respectful of the residential neighborhoods that we sometimes traveled to while following the Thin White Duke’s footsteps. I learned a lot about my favorite musician, met some lovely people (Bowie fans as a general rule are friendly and accepting folks), and got to see some parts of London that were new to me as a tourist. Our tour primarily focused on the neighborhoods of Brixton and Soho, which are fun places to explore in their own right and even more fun with the added context of learning about Bowie’s history with them. I really enjoyed this tour. If I had more time in the city, I would happily book one of the other ones that Grant offers—such as his Led Zeppelin tour. I honestly can’t recommend this tour enough. It was one of the major highlights of a pretty amazing trip to what is probably my favorite city in the world. Thanks again!

Grant's Bowie Tour
Grant is the best walk and talk tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He has a lovely nature, incredibly passionate about music and Bowie in particular, and is full of interesting facts. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and have no hesitation in recommending Grant to others.

The tour led by Grant was...
The tour led by Grant was exceptional. We were lucky enough to be the only ones that day and thus we were able to have a great one on one conversation. Grant was very knowledgeable even beyond the topic of Bowie and would manage to impress even the biggest Bowie fan. In addition he gave some great suggestions on what to see and do in London. He's very happy to discuss and answer questions about rock history and culture. I would recommend everyone to do this tour especially during the first few days in London.

Thoroughly entertaining tour... even if you aren't a mad Bowie fan
We booked this tour through Get Your Guide for a trip out with friends who love Bowie. It was excellent. Grant, our guide, had carefully picked locations that mark key points in Bowie's life, and his friendships and collaborations with other artists of his time. Our friends already knew a great deal about Bowie, so there was plenty to chat about, and they learnt a lot of new things too. Grant is full of interesting stories and amusing anecdotes. The tour was as described in the booking details and ran to time. Thanks for a brilliant tour, Grant! Highly recommend.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
