Would highly recommend this tour for tourists and Londoners alike.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

An excellent blending of the traditional sightseeing , history of the institutions and their place in the last 2,000 of Mammon in the UK. The difference here is that he tries to build a narrative of how everything interlinks with religion , symbols , power and ancient history. what alternative roads we could have taken and where it’s now with AI and Bitcoin. The dialogue and the interaction with his audience made this an excellent three hour tour.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

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

I can thoroughly recommend this immersive experience!read less

He is very knowledgeable about the subjects he talks about throughout the tour, which centres around the spiritual connections behind much of the symbolism and iconography throughout the architecture and landmarks within the City. I really appreciated that although he had much knowledge to share, he also intuitively allowed us the space to contemplate the spaces and topics for ourselves during moments in between, and did not try to cram too much in and nothing felt forced. The pace was easy to follow and very easy to walk.read less

What stuck out to me as well, has been his great passion and interest in the content of the tour. I enjoyed to learn the meaning and background of commonly used symbols in buildings and recognize them anywhere else in architecture and art now :))read less

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

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

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
