David Bowie, Golden Years Walking Tour of London, Brixton & Soho

This tour was a wonderful experience and more than i expected - a journey into David Bowie’s London. Our guide Grant Gutteridge is not only a very nice guy, but also incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, with so many interesting stories and details to share! As a huge Bowie fan, I couldn’t have wished for a better way to explore these places. I enjoyed every minute of it and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves David Bowie! Thank you so much, Grant, for this memorable afternoon!

Really knowledgeable enthusiastic chap. Would recommend going

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 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 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.
