Guidekin's take

Link Brixton and Soho through places connected with David Bowie's life and music, with commentary from a specialist in his work.

The guide is included, but transport between the two neighbourhoods is paid separately; moderate fitness is required. 4.54 from 50 reviews at €24 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #87 of 92 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
