More reviewsBeat tour ever — Completely forgot to write my review when I went on the tour in September but I found the email again so leaving a review now. Arjun was an incredible tour guide and so passionate and knowledgable about the topics of dragons, pagans and symbolism. We visited so many places in the 2 hr 30 min time slot and learnt so much. I can guarantee that every piece of information Arjun shares with you is new and important. We could ask him any questions and he always made sure we had time to ask anything. He had a great energy, super calm but also so friendly! Could not recommend this tour enough! If you are interested in paganism and pre-Christian symbolism this tour is for you! It opened my eyes to imagery which I had never noticed before. Thank you Arjun! 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 Cinzia Sarigu8/06/2026His knowledge was extensive on esoteric City of London Wow! Arjun didn't fail to deliver.

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!

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 Amber7/29/2024A Fascinating Walk Through the City of London. A Fascinating Walk Through the City of London.

Would you like to time travel to the origins of one of the world's best loved cities? Our guide, Arjun, has created an interesting and intriguing event that should not be missed! Find out how the positions of the earth's energy lines correspond to London's architecture and how this beautiful modern city is steeped in ancient mythology and folklore. Many remnants of the city's ancient past remain, if only we know where to look. The Dragon Lore Tour will take you there. My husband and I revisited some of the sites from the tour and plan to do so again in the future. The energy is amazing! read less A4941RAanneb3/01/2025Another 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 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 Christy9/14/2024

More reviewsExcellent Private Glastonbury Pilgrimage with Dragon Lore Tours. What an incredible day exploring Glastonbury with Arjun! From the moment we started, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who truly knows and loves this mystical part of England. Arjun's expertise shone throughout our visit to Glastonbury Abbey — he wove together historical facts with local legends in a way that was both educational and captivating. His knowledge of the site's significance, from its early Christian roots to the Arthurian connections, was impressive. The Chalice Well visit was equally memorable. Arjun's understanding of the spiritual and historical importance of this sacred site added so much depth to the experience. He clearly knows the area like the back of his hand and has a genuine passion for sharing its stories. This wasn't just a tour — it was a proper pilgrimage experience. Arjun's professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm made for a perfect day. I'd absolutely recommend Dragon Lore Tours to anyone wanting to explore Glastonbury with a guide who truly understands the magic of this special place. read less RoseWippich5/01/2025I am so glad I joined this tour...

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 Peter Archibald8/07/2025City of London - historical walking tour Having 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.

Would highly recommend this tour for tourists and Londoners alike. read less Jane Inge11/06/2024

More reviewsOur tour to Glantonbury was simply amazing. I went with my husband past June 2026. Arjun is an excellent guide. He knows perfectly the history, the legends, the spirit and the misteries of these places . He tries to hear, feel and understand our motivations going there while been very respectful with our own believes. He guíded us through history of Chistianity, misticism, celtic legends and finally we built our own story and our own thruth of these places.
Arjun even tried to show us the last crop circle nearby, but it was impossible to get there. He really tried to fulfill our expectations of the places we wanted to connect.
We couldn't have hoped for a more sensitive, fun, wise and knowledgeable guide. Thankyou so much for our wonderful experience. read less Mercedes Alfaro7/16/2026A gift for making history feel immediately relevant Brilliant City of London tour with Arjuns .

He has a gift for making history feel immediately relevant, and his knowledge of everything from dragon boundaries to the Roman Mithraeum to the Knights Templar. The five-stop route through the City’s layers was brilliantly chosen, and I came away with a completely refreshed understanding of medieval and Roman London. Highly recommended if you want a walking tour that treats you like an intelligent human.

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 Keith9/30/2024City of London Historical Free Walking Tour —... City of London Historical Free Walking Tour — Arjun was an excellent guide.

It was a spontaneous decision we made together; we have done walking tours in other cities in the past but we had no idea what to expect with this one.

More reviewsI booked myself, a friend and my 16 year old daughter on this walking tour. I did not really know what to expect but was open to trying something different. Arjun did not disappoint. His wealth of knowledge across art, religion, folklore, esoterica, economics, history, architecture, and more just bowled us over. I learnt so much about The City but also about power and wealth and the inter-connectedness of everything. I cannot recommend a tour with Arjun more.
