Rock & Roll UK Tour

Access All Areas Across the United Kingdom!

4 Days in London, Liverpool & Manchester

This is a tour that rock fans will just not want to miss!!

A tour that takes in the three major rock 'n' roll cities of England - London, Liverpool and Manchester. These cities combined rock roll call is a 'Hall of Fame' in itself.

From the “Swingin’ 60s” to date, from The Beatles and Stones to Oasis; from Flower Power to Punk; from Heavy Rock to Brit Pop to House. You're going to see the sites – homes past & present, venues, places used for album covers, famous gig ‘happenings’ and where favorites died. Hear the stories, enjoy the legends and party like a rock star! After all, it’s only rock n roll

SGT Exclusive Tour

Available at any date for private groups of 2 – 7 people. Price available upon application. With all private departures, this itinerary may be revised to suit your individual needs.

You can also do our ‘Going Solo’ version, where we make your arrangements and provide you with vouchers, a detailed itinerary & you do the tour independently, without a tour manager.

On both the ‘On the Road’ and the ‘Going Solo’ versions, accommodations may be taken in either our usual 3-star en-suite hotels or you may choose the less expensive hostel option. Please note that some hostels have regulations regarding their opening and closing times and a hostel option might not be the right choice for those wanting to enjoy late clubbing nights.
