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

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

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

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.

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. read less

He was very welcoming since the very beginning, and made sure everything was perfect all along the tour. The historical explanation was fantastic, it showed he is really passionate about it. We would definitely recommend booking this tour to get to know how Londinium was founded and got to be "The City" nowadays. Thanks for all, Arjun!read less

However it was a bank holiday so not one place was open we just looked at pictures on his phone. Should have been noted when booking that nothing was open as I wouldn't have gone. Also we were told we would get a pdf of the tour so we can go back and visit the places which I still haven't received so from that point it was disappointing.read less

The depth of research went above and beyond what would be considered normal. His way of infusing historical and present facts was expertly done. Though he imparted copious amounts of knowledge I felt his delivery was easy to digest. Another facet of the tour I was pleased with is the path we took — it encompasses hidden gems I was unlikely to find on my own. All in all although the weather was inclement I found the time spent with Arjun flew by and this was besides the fact that we ran over time due to my engagement in asking copious questions to which he happily sought to answer. A full A+ from me. Looking forward to being able to go on another one of his tours.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

Take a walk in the mystical London If you're into the mysterious or just want to see a deeper side of London, this tour is perfect. Arjun is an awesome guide — super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We learned about ley lines, ancient history, and even astrology in the city. Eye-opening in the best way.

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

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

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
