Κριτικές ταξιδιωτών
Aidan was a fantastic guide! So knowledgeable and entertaining, and I loved listening to his stories about going to gigs when he was young (especially almost touching Joe Strummer's hand). I will definitely book with him again for another tour next time I'm in London.
This was our second private tour with Aidan. He does a great job describing the music history of the area including many personal anecdotes. He tailored the tour to bands I was interested in and included landmarks in Camden Market. My husband enjoyed learning the architectural and engineering history of the area including the Canal and manual locks. Highly recommend!
A very illuminating tour of the Camden area and it's music history. Aiden has lived and breathed the musical past of Camden and has a great knowledge of who played where and when including all the bands he saw at the various venues.. He also debunked some of the myths that have grown up around the area. A most enjoyable tour which I highly recommend.
Aidan was a fantastic guide who gave us some behind-the-scenes knowledge on Camden with a mix of textbook and personal history.
Our fourth time on a tour with Aidan. And again an unmatched experience. Great fun, interesting stories, 100% authentic, vivid, the important steps in Camdens history appear before your eyes and you get some hint about nonsense you get told on other tours. perfect tour for everyone in love with music and Camden or those who want to fall
Really good tour around Camden Aiden knows his stuff and is great craic. A must do tour if you are ever down that way
I've done every one of the Flipside Tours, after first happening upon them back in 2016; the Soho Punk Rock and Strummerwalk twice (yes they are *that great*, and just as enjoyable second time around). So when this one appeared, I jumped at it. Eddie M's review here paints the perfect and a very comprehensive picture (I recommend finding it), just as for two hours 30(+), the affable, walking Wikipedia, FlipsideLondon Tour guide Aidan McManus paints an expansive and very comprehensive picture of Camden's vivid and varied musical history. A wealth of things you won't know, joy upon finding yourself standing next to places that are footnotes on your favourite albums, priceless anecdotes (Aidan *was there*) and, as with every Flipside Tour, the feeling at the end that (a) you've just had the best experience you're going to have that day, and (b) you quite fancy doing that one again. Every FlipsideLondon Tour I've deemed *essential* to music fans (be they fans of specific bands or just music history in general), and even for those with only a 'passing interest' in music history, fun and fascinating tours that can't be beaten. Camden Calling is no exception. The best walking tours in London (and, based on admittedly limited experience, probably also on the planet). I'll be doing this one again too.
I love Aidan's tours. His knowledge, humour, friendliness & wicked accent make the tours so engaging. Can't wait to go on the next one!
