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

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!

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. 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.

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. It was a fun mix of history and mythology that had you feeling like you were on an adventure. Arjun's passion was obvious from the get-go, and his storytelling style is captivating. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to try something different.read less

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

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. Mind-blown!read less

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

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

Arjul was an exceptional guide, combining his deep knowledge with an engaging storytelling style that made the city’s past feel alive.
What stood out the most was the way Arjul encouraged us to notice the small, often overlooked details—each one holding its own story or significance. His ability to weave together history and mystery was both fascinating and inspiring.
The tour offered a perfect mix of insight and intrigue, leaving us with a newfound appreciation for London. If you’re looking for a guide who will open your eyes to the city in a completely new way, we highly recommend this tour.read less

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
