Thank you so much for your kind words – I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring those more hidden layers of the City, from the London Stone and Mithraeum to the Inner Temple. It’s lovely to hear you and your wife went back to the café under St Mary-le-Bow and made a little extra ritual of it with lunch in the crypt. read less

We toured streets and back roads off the busy streets of London to Temples, rivers, underground chapels and ley lines that all go unnoticed.

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

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.

I am so glad I joined this tour... I 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,... 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

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

More reviewsUndoubtedly the highlight of my time in London!

Arjun is exceptionally knowledgeable, but what really sets him apart is how he structures the experience. Rather than just pointing out sites, he weaves a cohesive narrative that charts the origin story of the City of London, from its early roots through its rise as the financial capital of the world.

What made the experience especially memorable was how personal he made it. He took the time to understand my interests and background and tailored parts of the tour to align with them, which made everything feel much more engaging and relevant. He also provided a comprehensive PDF guide afterward, which was an unexpected bonus. It neatly recaps the places we visited and the broader historical narrative.

On top of all that, Arjun is incredibly personable and kind; just a genuinely great person to spend a few hours with.

Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London. And if you’re even remotely a history or finance nerd like me, this is about as close as it gets to a perfectly designed experience. read less

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

More reviewsWe had an absolutely wonderful day touring Avebury and Salisbury with Arjun from Dragon Lore Tours. It was one of the highlights of our trip to England.

Arjun is exceptionally knowledgeable, but what really sets him apart is his genuine passion for England, its history, politics, culture, and the legacy of the British Empire. He has an incredible ability to weave together thousands of years of history into engaging stories that make every stop come alive. Whether we were standing among the stones at Avebury or exploring the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral, he provided fascinating context that you simply wouldn’t get from a guidebook.

He was thoughtful, personable, and happy to answer our endless questions, adapting the conversation to our interests while making the day feel relaxed rather than rushed. His enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s clear he truly loves sharing his country with visitors.

If you’re looking for a guide who combines deep historical knowledge with engaging storytelling and genuine warmth, I cannot recommend Arjun highly enough. We left with a much richer understanding of England and some fantastic memories. Thank you, Arjun, for such an outstanding experience! read less

DRAGON CITY TOUR It was such a pleasure to go on this tour and listen to the stories and anedoctes Arjun has to offer! Lots of historical and dragon-related insights and his wonderful energy kept the group in a wonderful cocooned atmosphere.
Thankyou fellow Dragon-wisdom keeper for the light you spread across our city!

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

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

My son is no native speaker but Arjun spoke well and articulate, so it was no problem, at all. We were led to alleys and hidden temples, we wouldn`t have gone on our own and had a chance to learn about finance, trade and money with a touch of philosophy. Very entertaining and recommendable. read less
