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

My son is no native speaker but Arjun spoke well and articulate, so it was no problem, at all. We were led to alleys and hidden temples, we wouldn`t have gone on our own and had a chance to learn about finance, trade and money with a touch of philosophy. Very entertaining and recommendable.read less

However it was a bank holiday so not one place was open we just looked at pictures on his phone. Should have been noted when booking that nothing was open as I wouldn't have gone. Also we were told we would get a pdf of the tour so we can go back and visit the places which I still haven't received so from that point it was disappointing.read less

The tour guide took us through an in depth history of the City of London teaching us several things I hadn't known before, which was intriguing. The tour was conducted as if the guide was telling a story, rather than just reciting historical information. The sights themselves were for the most part easy on the eye and full of history, including places such as the guildhall art gallery and st Lawrence jewry church. We concluded at the bank of England where the guide explained in depth the symbolism of the twelve ornate lampposts in the square, each one representing one of the twelve most important ancient guilds of the City. Would highly recommend!read less

Interesting and some out of the way places If you want to see both interesting and some out of the way places and hear some fascinating history and personal insights then this is a tour for you. Arjun was friendly and helpful on this tour. I keep imagining dragons(no pun of the rock band) everywhere. Thanks again Arjun

We booked this tour expecting to see some of London's ancient sites and hearing a fact or two about each before moving on to the next. What we experienced was a thoroughly interesting discussion about the historical and mystical side of London that is hidden in plain sight. We walked Dragon lines, over the path of the sacred rivers which flow under the city and heard about the secret meaning of symbols in the art and architecture along our route. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in history, mythology and symbology.read less

He took personal efforts to understand our background and customised the tour accordingly. The tour provided us fresh perspectives on the familiar city. His love for the subject came out clearly through the tour. A very special experience!

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 with 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

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
