Great two hour rock n roll tour of Soho
This was booked as a present so I do not know what it cost. Michael our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The tour was just over two hours long and Michael was very chatty and informative and we saw and learnt alot. A very good tour and especially nice on a sunny day.

Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London cost?
+
Prices start at £16 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 Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 77 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 Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London?
+
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 Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London?
+
Around 27 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London 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 Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London?
+
Included: Professional Guide. Not included: Gratuities (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London?
+
Please arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes prior to the tour departure time. Meet your guide outside the Dominion Theatre. Take Exit 2 of Tottenham Court Road Underground Station and head to street level. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

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

+

Is Rock and Roll Walking Tour of Soho London wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
