I was born in Central London and have worked in the area covered by the tour, but I was unaware of much of that which Arjun discussed and showed me. For example, I was unaware of the existence the London Stone which I used to regularly walk past. I can thoroughly recommend Arjun as a guide.read less

Another lens in which to view London's history I went with my family (two adults, two children age 16 and 14) and we all loved this tour.

These show up in repeated shapes, forms and symbols scattered around...More reviewsI went with my family (two adults, two children age 16 and 14) and we all loved this tour. We learned lots of London history, and were also helped to see some shared ancestorial connections with other cities/countries, too. These show up in repeated shapes, forms and symbols scattered around the old City of London, most of which I'd never know to notice before. I particularly liked the pace of this tour, and that there was a lovely balance of exciting mysticism with real history. It was a mind/body/spirit exercise, with a wonderful guide who you can see loves his work. We enjoyed a peaceful, thoughtful afternoon and can recommend this tour wholeheartedly!read less

Go and listen to Arjun, you will never see dragons the same as before.read less

We were in London for a few days and wanted to do some fun sightseeing. This tour far exceeded what we could have ever dreamed of! To say it was magical is an understatement. Our guide, Arjun was so knowledgeable, fun, interesting and an AMAZING storyteller of all things City of London and its history with the Dragons and much more! We saw and visited places we never would have been able to see or find on our own. We packed a lot into 3 hours and totally got our moneys worth and then some! By the end of the tour we felt like long lost friends and we walked away feeling truly enchanted! This was the highlight of our trip! We will be back to do another tour with Arjun! Highly, highly recommend! This tour is a must!read less

You can tell Arjun has really thought through the route and the stories he tells. We had a lovely chat afterwards too, he has a lot of time for questions and feedback.

The tour guide Arjun is a lovely, knowledgeable and very chatty person to be on a tour with. We were five people only and had the time of our lives by getting to know many parts of London and stories you wouldn't get otherwise. Arjun chatted with us on whatever came to our mind between the sights and we had such great talks about a plethora of things. If you are into mythical stuff, history, symbols, gods and mysteries besides the dragons and into finding hidden places in London, this is for you! Thanks a lot for that great experience.read less
