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 was a great walking tour of hidden and ancient sites within the City of London. Highlights included the London Stone, Mithraeum and the Inner Temple of the Knights Templar. 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 Robert2/01/2026 - Excellent alternative walking tour even in the rain!

More reviewsExcellent alternative walking tour even in the rain! — Arjun was very knowledgeable and passionate about the alternative history of London and the spiritual elements and ideas involved. Many of the things he spoke to us about we could have walked past without noticing - despite it being a rainy day, his enthusiasm kept the tour upbeat and interesting. My friend is of a shorter stature and felt the walking pace was very good. Arjun gave us a lot of food for thought and ideas for our next trip and sights to see. read less Jo and Vic7/09/2024Secret London Arjun had a unique way of explaining the stories and hidden details of the City of London, making us see familiar landmarks with a completely fresh perspective.

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 SR K9/07/2025 - A very interesting immersive experience.

More reviewsIn somewhat of a leisurely Jules Verne sequence, the tour was a memorable voyage across time. 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 Aditi11/03/2024Excellent Private Glastonbury Pilgrimage with Dragon Lore Tours.

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 RoseWippich5/01/2025

We went through a history of time from the earliest pre-London to present day, London. I could not recommend this tour and especially with this leader for anyone coming to London.

Arjun had done an enormous amount of research to cleverly lead us through from Celts and Romans to modern day, explaining how the financial city had evolved. Would highly recommend this tour for tourists and Londoners alike. read less Jane Inge11/06/2024One of BEST tours in London. One of BEST tours in London.

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 Christy9/14/2024One of the most lovely London experiences One of the greatest experiences in London.

The tour guide Arjun is a lovely, knowledgeable and very chatty person to be on a tour with. We were five people only and had the time of our lives by getting to know many parts of London and stories you wouldn't get otherwise. Arjun chatted with us on whatever came to our mind between the sights and we had such great talks about a plethora of things. If you are into mythical stuff, history, symbols, gods and mysteries besides the dragons and into finding hidden places in London, this is for you! Thanks a lot for that great experience. read less Oskar Leonard Baron10/29/2024Excellent We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Arjun.
