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

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

The guide kicked things of with a conceptual overview of lay lines, nodes, and rivers, which grounded the walk through unexpected treasures we would never have known to look for, including a number of smaller Churches which lurked behind unassuming gateways we would have walked past, obliviously. Many ideas were woven together, which we would not have considered, simply because it would never have occurred to us, such as the many things the dragon can represent, and has represented to the many peoples occupying the place we now call London. Recommend for anyone looking for a deeper look into the city. Templars included.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 depth of research went above and beyond what would be considered normal. His way of infusing historical and present facts was expertly done. Though he imparted copious amounts of knowledge I felt his delivery was easy to digest. Another facet of the tour I was pleased with is the path we took — it encompasses hidden gems I was unlikely to find on my own. All in all although the weather was inclement I found the time spent with Arjun flew by and this was besides the fact that we ran over time due to my engagement in asking copious questions to which he happily sought to answer. A full A+ from me. Looking forward to being able to go on another one of his tours.read less

He weaves the historical and present London so well it is seamless. Leaving you with such a deeper understanding of this wonderful city that you start to feel more a part of it and dare I say local. I look forward to the possibility of Arjun constructing a fourth tour as if so I'll definitely be going on it.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.

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

Our guide, Arjun, will take you back in time using his many tools such as symbolism, sacred geometry, historical records and more. Find out how the positions of the earth's energy lines correspond to London's architecture and how the buildings tell a story. Many remnants of the city's ancient past remain, if only we know where to look. The Dragon Lore Tour is the perfect way to discover these gems. My husband and I revisited some of the sites from the tour and plan to do so again in the future. This tour will give you a new set of eyes to look at London with!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

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.

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
