Description

Your Guide for the Bohemian Rhapsody – Freddie Mercury Private Tour, knows exactly where to take you so you will see all the best Queen-related places.

London hosts many stories and is the birthplace of Queen, one of the most popular music bands in the 70s and 80s. Tour starts at one of the major concert venues where Queen played several concerts, including the legendary Xmas concerts in 1975 and 1979, then visit their most popular recording studio, where they recorded ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ and ‘Barcelona’.

Shortly after you will visit where Freddie lived with Mary Austin, to whom he dedicated one of his most famous songs, ‘love of my life’,  then onto the flat which all the band members shared in the early 70s. Stop by the iconic pub where Freddie met Mary, Brian and Roger, then to the house where Freddie died. Afterwards you will explore the area that Freddie lived and socialised over the years of his life.

You will walk through, the place that was once a Kensington Market, where Freddie was quite often seen selling shoes, then see where Queen recorded all the songs for their first 2 albums.  After to the Royal Opera House where Freddie met Montserrat Caballe and finally see the place of Freddie’s very last performance – in the ‘Time’ musical on 14th April 1988.
