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

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

Great, engaging and informative tour The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and took great care to individualize the information. Good with a 10 year old with a lot of questions.

More reviewsThe guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and took great care to individualize the information. Good with a 10 year old with a lot of questions. Saw a few more churches than we expected but they were spectacular and ones we would have missed on our own. Symbolism of icons was presented well and without judgement. Great historian of London. read less

More reviewsI booked myself, a friend and my 16 year old daughter on this walking tour. 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

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.

Arjul was an exceptional guide, combining his deep knowledge with an engaging storytelling style that made the city’s past feel alive.

What stood out the most was the way Arjul encouraged us to notice the small, often overlooked details—each one holding its own story or significance. His ability to weave together history and mystery was both fascinating and inspiring.

The tour offered a perfect mix of insight and intrigue, leaving us with a newfound appreciation for London. If you’re looking for a guide who will open your eyes to the city in a completely new way, we highly recommend this tour. read less

More reviewsIn somewhat of a leisurely Jules Verne sequence, the tour was a memorable voyage across time. 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

The passion, warmth and knowledge Arjent brings to the tour made the hours fly by, even in the middle of a heatwave. He is symbolic of the difference between a good tour and a boring one and regaled us with tales, facts and stats as if they were tattooed on his soul. Stories of dragons, romans, ancient trees; a phoenix here and a magician there. Ancient religions, the occult and building blocks of civilisations. Every step took us through mythology, etymology and history and all with a glint in the eye and humour that matched ours. Deeply, hugely enjoyable. I genuinely cannot recommend Arjent’s tours enough – and we WILL be returning for more of the same. Thank you, mate. You rock. 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

More reviewsExcellent Private Glastonbury Pilgrimage with Dragon Lore Tours. What an incredible day exploring Glastonbury with Arjun! From the moment we started, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who truly knows and loves this mystical part of England. Arjun's expertise shone throughout our visit to Glastonbury Abbey — he wove together historical facts with local legends in a way that was both educational and captivating. His knowledge of the site's significance, from its early Christian roots to the Arthurian connections, was impressive. The Chalice Well visit was equally memorable. Arjun's understanding of the spiritual and historical importance of this sacred site added so much depth to the experience. He clearly knows the area like the back of his hand and has a genuine passion for sharing its stories. This wasn't just a tour — it was a proper pilgrimage experience. Arjun's professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm made for a perfect day. I'd absolutely recommend Dragon Lore Tours to anyone wanting to explore Glastonbury with a guide who truly understands the magic of this special place. 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

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
