This is a private tour for your party with a local guide and a flexible approach, priced per group; transport is excluded. 4.98 from 62 reviews at €309 per group/vehicle for 2h. ## Overview Grab your friends, round up the family, and follow the red umbrella through Soho's backstreets — the neighbourhood that gave the world Ella Fitzgerald, the Beatles, and the Sex Pistols, and still hides a good story on every corner. This is a private tour, just your group and a local guide who actually lives here. No merging with strangers, no fixed script. We'll walk you past the clubs where legends were made, the flat where the Beatles nearly signed their first deal, and the street where a teenage Mozart once lived. Along the way, expect a few surprises: Karl Marx, Casanova, and a Soho ghost story or two. Tell your guide what your group's into, more music history, more scandal and gossip, more photo stops, and they'll shape the walk around you. Good for: birthdays, reunions, family visits, "we're in London for the weekend and want to actually see something" days out. ## Before you book - Meeting point: The guide will be standing in the middle… - 23 start times: between 09:00 and 20:00 - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted ## Key facts - Price: from €309 per group/vehicle - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.98/5 from 62 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: London With A Local ## What's included - A fantastic tour guide ## Not included - Private transportation - Public transportation - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Golden Square** (10m) - Your tour starts here, in the quiet square right in the middle of Soho's chaos, the calm before the story begins. 2. **Carnaby Street** (15m) - Once the epicentre of Swinging Sixties fashion, where miniskirts and youth culture first took over the world. Great photo stop. 3. **London Palladium** (pass by, no stop) - One of Britain's most famous stages, home to decades of legendary performances, from variety greats to rock royalty. 4. **Liberty London** (pass by, no stop) - This grand Tudor-style building looks centuries old. It's actually less than 100 years old, and built from the salvaged timber of two decommissioned Royal Navy warships. One of Soho's best "wait, really?" facts. 5. **John Snow Saloon** (pass by, no stop) - Named after the doctor who traced a deadly cholera outbreak to the water pump right outside! One of Soho's strangest, most important stories. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 23 start times between 09:00 and 20:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-01 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point The guide will be standing in the middle of Golden Square holding a red umbrella.
