More reviewsMe and a friend joined a Dragon Lore tour in the City of London with guide Arjun and we surprisingly had an amazing time. A bit sceptical if it was going to be what we hoped it to be... And YES! It was spot on. Showing us secret places, going into these special places to share the symbolism, stopping at places no other classic tour will do... Many puzzle pieces fell together during the walk, listening to the lores and it was nice talking to our tour guide too. A must for people who love to explore a spiritual/mystical side of London! Thanks again by the way. :-) Will check out the other tours too! read less

He listened to our questions intently and provided such rich information about all the different sites across the tour amazingly well. It was a great afternoon of insights, conversation and inspiration to learn more about the incredible history and hidden stories all around us. Thanks so much for this tour Arjun, we will be recommending this tour to our friends and family and will likely be coming on another one of DragonLore's tours very soon. Thanks a lot! read less

We went around the City of London & even into a free museum to see Roman ruins! Arjun is unique and shared very interesting stories & facts about the economic, artistic, and architectural, and even some mystical history as well!! 11/10, thank you Arjun for your unique perspective and amazing tour! read less

City of London Mythology tour - very interesting This is a great tour if you’re looking for something a bit different.

Full of iconography, our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts & perspectives on history & the events that makes London City what it is today. We went on a Sunday, two stops on the journey were closed but this was made up in extra time at other sites and images provided of the closed venues. Overall, very enjoyable! read less

Una experienica immersiva muy interesante Un tour muy recomendable de Londres, descubre simbolismos muy interesantes de la ciudad de Londres, además de visitar sitios (e incluso algún museo no típico y con una experienica immersiva muy interesante) que no suelen aparecer en los sitios recomendados. Muy buen opción para conocer aspectos no típicos de Londres.

He is very knowledgeable about the subjects he talks about throughout the tour, which centres around the spiritual connections behind much of the symbolism and iconography throughout the architecture and landmarks within the City. I really appreciated that although he had much knowledge to share, he also intuitively allowed us the space to contemplate the spaces and topics for ourselves during moments in between, and did not try to cram too much in and nothing felt forced. The pace was easy to follow and very easy to walk. read less

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

This I will do again! This I will do again! This tour was the highlight of my trip to London! I learned about places and symbols I wouldn't be aware of if it wasn't for this. Arjun is a great communicator, and conveys history and mysticism in a manner that I just want to learn more.

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. 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... 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

I am so glad I joined this tour... I am so glad I joined this tour of mythical symbolism, history and finance in the Square Mile.

More reviewsI am so glad I joined this tour of mythical symbolism, history and finance in the Square Mile. I'm very resistant to being told what to do and think, so this was a revelation for me! Arjun created a compelling narrative that encompassed the founding of the City of London, its history of co-operation through the Guilds and its power and autonomy from the Norman invasion to the present day. I can thoroughly recommend this immersive experience! read less

The passion, warmth and knowledge Arjent brings to the tour made the hours fly by, even in the middle of a heatwave. He is symbolic of the difference between a good tour and a boring one and regaled us with tales, facts and stats as if they were tattooed on his soul. Stories of dragons, romans, ancient trees; a phoenix here and a magician there. Ancient religions, the occult and building blocks of civilisations. Every step took us through mythology, etymology and history and all with a glint in the eye and humour that matched ours. Deeply, hugely enjoyable. I genuinely cannot recommend Arjent’s tours enough – and we WILL be returning for more of the same. Thank you, mate. You rock. read less

More reviewsMemorable voyage across time. In 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

More reviewsThis is definitely not your typical tour. It is fun, mystical and educational on many levels. Arjun is deeply insightful and has a broad knowledge of both the historical and the metaphysical aspects of the places we visited. You can tell he loves taking his groups on an adventure, and he makes it easy to step out of time and immerse yourself in the ancient landscape his storytelling brings to life. I lived in London for many years and still came away having learned a great deal. I highly recommend Arjun's Dragon Lore Tours. read less
