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.

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 Nico7/01/2024One of the most interesting and informative tours Thank you Arjun, this is one of the most interesting and informative tours I have done.

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 Robert4/08/2026City of London Historical Free Walking Tour —...

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 Julius Moye4/05/2026The best tour we've ever been on!

J’ai trouvé qu'il était assez facile de le comprendre même quand on est pas bilingue, mais il y avait quand même du vocabulaire un peu technique par moments. Nous sommes passés par des endroits insolites et avons pu comprendre l’histoire et l’origine des dragons de Londres, c'était très chouette ! Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer et j’en garderai un très bon souvenir

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 Vic7/09/2024Stepping back in time and adventuring through history Wow!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and, despite it being just the two of us, went out of his way to create a truly personalised experience.
