Monsters of Rock

Wanna Rock n Roll All Day?

Be a Daytripper! Join us for a Full Day of Rockin’ across the Capitol!

London is Calling You! Depending on your age, this is either a chance to wallow in glorious nostalgia, or grab an 'education' in Rock myths and history. Have those lyrics come alive and make the London connection.

This fantastic day combines both our morning tour Summer of Love and afternoon tour Classic Rock & Beatles.  Not only a memorable day for the rock fan but for anybody who wants to see more of London than simply the main central tourist attractions.

 This tour gets you to places not normally seen by regular tourists and there’s lots to photograph! All our tours are accompanied by a knowledgeable driver/guide who knows the city’s history as well as the more specific rock history so you get two tours in one!

On the full day Monsters of Rock Tour, you get all the sites on:

You Can’t Always Get What You Want...or can you?!

We can also arrange a special private tour focusing on your favorite band, a 'dedicated' Rock (half or full) day! If you have a group with a special interest - the Rolling Stones, Queen, 'Swingin Sixties' London, Hippie London, Punk Rock etc.- we can develop a London tour dedicated to this interest for you. Please contact us for details.

“Just wanted to follow up with you after the tour! We just got home on Sunday from our holiday, and the London portion of our trip was definitely one of the highlights!! I really, REALLY enjoyed our Clash/Joe tour of London. Damon was great, and really tried to help us see everything we wanted to see...he definitely tried to get us to all of our most important sites (and even threw in a few Jimi Hendrix and Beatles spots for good measure!) Thanks for all of your help in setting this up! I had a BLAST.”

*Heather Mendoza, Custom Clash/Joe Strummer’s London Tour
