Go beyond the usual crowded sites in London and see where it actually all started, and the places from which British power grew and continues to influence the world: London City, the city within a city. read less

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

Great, engaging and informative tour The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and took great care to individualize the information. Good with a 10 year old with a lot of questions. Saw a few more churches than we expected but they were spectacular and ones we would have missed on our own. Symbolism of icons was presented...

Saw a few more churches than we expected but they were spectacular and ones we would have missed on our own. Symbolism of icons was presented well and without judgement. Great historian of London. read less

I'm grateful to Arjun for his interest in the stories that lay beneath the surface and his ability to share his knowledge. On his recommendation my wife and I returned to the cafe below the St. Mary Le-Bow church and enjoyed a very nice lunch in the crypt. read less

Take a walk in the mystical London If you're into the mysterious or just want to see a deeper side of London, this tour is perfect. Arjun is an awesome guide — super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We learned about ley lines, ancient history, and even astrology in the city. Eye-opening in the best way.

More reviewsWiltshire stone circles. I feel frankly blessed to have crossed paths with Arjun of Dragon Lore Tours. I was looking for an experience of the Wiltshire stone circles that went beyond the usual tourist-style visits. I found that and far more from Arjun, who is not only learned and well researched, but also carries his own lived experience of decades of interacting with these sacred sites. His connection is heartfelt, embodied, and rooted in years of direct communion with the land. Arjun is a patient, calm, and kind guide who created an atmosphere where I could sink into the energy of each place without feeling rushed. He held space with respect, allowing for personal reflection, while offering insights on the layers of history and lore woven into these landscapes. My time on Arjun's tour was not only enriching, it felt like an opportunity for a deeper conversation with the land itself. read less

If you want something alternative ot at least not a mainstream, please choose this walking tour. It will really open your eyes for many symbols in the city, their history and their origin. The giude has done a lot of research, he is very friendly, helpful and passionate about the topic. As a bonus you will be surprized to visit so quiet and serene places in the heart of this busy and vibrant city. According to me, this tour is a must. If you hasitate, don't! You will enjoy it fully. read less

More reviewsGuide gives you a great information and makes you think of things from another perspective. 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

We learned about Druids and Romans at a pace we could take it all in. Our tour guide, Argent, was very knowledgeable and kept this moving at a comfortable pace while explaining how various things: water, rivers, grounding, and artifacts are all tied together in the quest for spiritual growth. A very worthwhile afternoon! Excellent, thought provoking conversations. read less

More reviewsWow! Unique experience of London. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the unique city of London tour with Arjun. 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

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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
