Tour Overview:
Your adventure begins at the Royal Academy of Music, where a young Reginald Dwight (Elton John’s birth name) trained as a piano prodigy before stepping into the world of rock ‘n’ roll. Hear how classical training influenced his music and how he went from playing in pubs to performing in stadiums worldwide.
Next, visit Denmark Street, London’s own Tin Pan Alley, where Elton and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin got their first big break. Stop by Trident Studios, where he recorded early classics like Your Song, the song that catapulted him to fame in 1970.
Continue through Soho, the heart of London’s vibrant music scene in the 60s and 70s, where Elton played at now-legendary venues before his big break. Pass by the Marquee Club, where he performed intimate gigs before dazzling audiences at Madison Square Garden and beyond.
Then, drive past Elton’s former London homes, where he lived during his most extravagant years. Hear about his lavish spending, legendary parties, and the friendships he formed with rock royalty, from Freddie Mercury to John Lennon. Learn how he went from a shy, bespectacled pianist to the larger-than-life showman we know today.
Finally, wrap up your experience with a drink at one of Elton’s favorite London bars, where he once celebrated his greatest successes. Raise a glass—perhaps a classic cocktail or a glass of champagne—to one of music’s most legendary figures and his incredible journey from a piano-playing boy to a global icon.
This tour is a must for any Elton John fan, offering a fascinating insight into the life, music, and unforgettable personality of the Rocket Man himself. Whether you’ve followed his career for decades or are just discovering his magic, this experience will leave you inspired, entertained, and maybe even singing I’m Still Standing all the way home.
