More reviewsI am so glad I joined this tour of mythical symbolism, history and finance in the Square Mile. I'm very resistant to being told what to do and think, so this was a revelation for me! Arjun created a compelling narrative that encompassed the founding of the City of London, its history of co-operation through the Guilds and its power and autonomy from the Norman invasion to the present day. I can thoroughly recommend this immersive experience! read less

I loved all the new wonderful places Arjun showed us that I never knew about before, such as the crypt in St. Bride's church and the palindrome in St. Martin Ludgate. He also gave us a new perspective on well known sites as St. Pauls and the Templar Church. To sum it up, we had a wonderful time on our tour. Go and listen to Arjun, you will never see dragons the same as before. read less

Arjun infuses the dragon mythology with history and mysticism so you will definitely learn something new, even if you know the area well. We also stopped by the Mithraeum and did the immersive experience (I had been before but it was really nice to go again with a guide). You can tell Arjun has really thought through the route and the stories he tells. We had a lovely chat afterwards too, he has a lot of time for questions and feedback. read less

More reviewsWould you like to time travel to the origins of one of the world's best loved cities? 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

I was the only one that booked the tour on this day so Arjun basically took me on a private tour through all of the stations with some extra details and discussions. I highly recommend! read less

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

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

Uncovering a Hidden history of London Uncovering a Hidden history of London — We were not exactly sure what to expect when we signed up but got more than we anticipated for this tour of hidden symbolism.

More reviewsUncovering a Hidden history of London — We were not exactly sure what to expect when we signed up but got more than we anticipated for this tour of hidden symbolism. 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

He was very kind and incredibly knowledgeable - it was clear how much effort and time that he put into his tour and researching the subjects! For me, this was a perfect tour, as Arjun was happy to answer questions and humor thoughts I had about the topics of the tour, and in moments where I didn't know anything, he regailed us with informative history on the subject, parallels in the world and more! I strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the subjects covered and further recommend Arjun as a guide for any tour that he offers.

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

Full of iconography, our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts & perspectives on history & the events that makes London City what it is today. We went on a Sunday, two stops on the journey were closed but this was made up in extra time at other sites and images provided of the closed venues. Overall, very enjoyable! read less

More reviewsMe and a friend joined a Dragon Lore tour in the City of London with guide Arjun and we surprisingly had an amazing time. 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
