More reviewsIn somewhat of a leisurely Jules Verne sequence, the tour was a memorable voyage across time. It gave us glimpses of Londinium in present day London. Our tour guide Mr Arjun, a prolific researcher and storyteller, dotted the landscape and ancient buildings with characters, events and turning points. Through various artefacts, he traced the origins of the financial capital of the world, and innumerable quests for power and influence. This was a very informative and thought-provoking tour and I would highly recommend it! read less Aditi11/03/2024Wow!

We booked a private tour after our friend recommended Arjun, but we asked him for a mix of historical and mystical (bespoke tour), and he delivered! The information he shared was intriguing and interesting to both our children (11 and 15) and us adults. Arjun is a truly gifted guide and a lovely human being as well. He was very accommodating, flexible and generous with his time and knowledge! We would love to catch up h him again in London or any of the other locations he explores!
Highly recommend if you want a unique and deeper experience of London! read less Mireille Azar8/02/2025 - Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer et j’en garderai un très bon souvenir La visite était super intéressante et le guide très cultivé !

J’ai trouvé qu'il était assez facile de le comprendre même quand on est pas bilingue, mais il y avait quand même du vocabulaire un peu technique par moments. Nous sommes passés par des endroits insolites et avons pu comprendre l’histoire et l’origine des dragons de Londres, c'était très chouette ! Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer et j’en garderai un très bon souvenir

More reviewsWe thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Arjun. He was very knowledgeable, we learned so much from him on a fascinating topic. I really liked how well thought out the tour was, you could tell how each stop along the tour built on the previous, building a full picture in our heads by the end of the tour. I have already recommended this tour to friends, we'll definitely be back for more tours with Arjun. read less Daryl Elliott10/19/2024A new persepctive on London but to sites rich in history and symbolism.

His knowledge was extensive on esoteric City of London, I could tell a lot of research had gone into it. I felt a sense of stepping back in time and adventuring through history. What I discovered on this tour was unique and unlike any other tour I've been on, it went deeper. I shall be trying out his other tours next chance I get!

He was very kind and incredibly knowledgeable - it was clear how much effort and time that he put into his tour and researching the subjects! For me, this was a perfect tour, as Arjun was happy to answer questions and humor thoughts I had about the topics of the tour, and in moments where I didn't know anything, he regailed us with informative history on the subject, parallels in the world and more! I strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the subjects covered and further recommend Arjun as a guide for any tour that he offers.

More reviewsHaving been way from London for 20 years, we were surprised and delighted at all the places we saw and the history we hadn't know was underfoot. Arjun had done an enormous amount of research to cleverly lead us through from Celts and Romans to modern day, explaining how the financial city had evolved. Would highly recommend this tour for tourists and Londoners alike. read less Jane Inge11/06/2024This tour will give you a new perspective on The City of London.

More reviewsA very entertaining guided walk by Arjun who has a deep and extensive knowledge of the subject and of the history and geography of the City of London. 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 Keith9/30/2024DRAGON CITY TOUR It was such a pleasure to go on this tour and listen to the stories and anedoctes Arjun has to offer! Lots of historical and dragon-related insights and his wonderful energy kept the group in a wonderful cocooned atmosphere.
Thankyou fellow Dragon-wisdom keeper for the light you spread across our city!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and, despite it being just the two of us, went out of his way to create a truly personalised experience. It offers an unconventional perspective on the origins of money, exploring the exchange of goods, the rise of interest and debt, and the beginnings of banks and the stock exchange — all intertwined with elements of magic and religion in a mysterious way. If you’re passionate about history and looking for a fresh, unconventional take on London’s past, this is the tour for you. read less Nadia Joos8/09/2025Infuses the dragon mythology with history and mysticism This was a really interesting tour, something a little different in London.

Arjun infuses the dragon mythology with history and mysticism so you will definitely learn something new,been if you know the area well. We also stopped by the Mithraeum and did the immersive experience (I had been before but it was really nice to go again with a guide). 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.
