    I really liked this tour....

    I really liked this tour. I particularly enjoyed walking around Kensington and the quieter streets and getting a little feel for the area beyond the usual tourist spots. It felt great being in the places connected with Freddie and Queen - walking the same streets, seeing the places where Freddie lived and imagining the history. I hadn’t done much research before the tour, apart from rewatching Bohemian Rhapsody, which was actually quite helpful in refreshing my memory. So even if some of the information may be available online, it was still great to have Grant guide us through it and put everything into context. The tour was also very well organised and paced. We started and finished on time, and everything flowed naturally, so it was clear that the guide knows the tour inside out. It was also nice to see the work Grant is doing to mark and preserve Queen’s history around London. I wish him the best of luck with his upcoming plans and projects, and hopefully, when I visit London again, I’ll see some more of his work around the city! There is quite a lot of walking, though, so I’d keep that in mind when planning it. I did it towards the end of a long trip and was already pretty tired, so I probably would have enjoyed it even more earlier in my trip. Overall, a really nice experience and a great way to explore a more personal side of London and its connection with Freddie and Queen. Keep up the good work, Grant!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this very kind and detailed review. I am so grateful for your comments and delighted you enjoyed the tour.

    Queen tour reveiw

    Lovely tour and a wonderful guide! Also a good way to see more of London. Would recommend to all Queen fans.

    Enjoyable tour to retrace the environs where Queen was born

    Grant really knows Queen history. The tour takes you to the groups’ haunts in London and gives a deep evolution of the band including some of the lesser known early members. As a casual fan it was really interesting information. There’s a fair amount of walking to get from site to site and it’s helpful to have seen the movie Bohemian Rhapsody to see how the director took some artistic license. Grant shared many photos of the players in the actual sites visited. Well - paced and enjoyable. Definitely worthwhile.

    Response from the operator: I really appreciate your kind review and I am so pleased you enjoyed the detail of our tour.

    Brilliantly good

    Grant's enthusiasm & knowledge was unbelievable. This was one of the best walking tours I have been on. If you like Queen, it's a MUST.

    Response from the operator: I am so grateful for your kind words. I am delighted I could take you on the tour and hope to may be see you again on another tour!

    Queen History

    This is a great tour. We were able to see quite a bit of Queen history. Our issue is although we were a group of 7, between the traffic noise and not being next to Grant - we couldn't hear what he was saying. Headsets are a must.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and I appreciate your comments. I am sorry you did not hear me properly, as I would have positioned my self closer to you. But I am glad, overall, you enjoyed the tour and as a huge Queen fan, learned some new stories about the band.

    Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $27 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 Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour 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 Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 123 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 Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour?

    +

    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 Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour?

    +

    Around 43 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 Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.

    What is included in Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour?

    +

    Included: Professional Guide, English speaking, Queen fan,. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour?

    +

    Outside the 'Daquise' Restaurant Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour?

    +

    What happens to Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour if the weather is bad?

    +
