More reviewsMoney and Power — Arjun quite simply is a dedicated guide to his subject. 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

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 SR K9/07/2025One of the most interesting and informative tours Thank you Arjun, this is one of the most interesting and informative tours I have done.

More reviewsHaving been way from London for 20 years, we were surprised and delighted at all the places we saw and the history we hadn't know was underfoot. Arjun had done an enormous amount of research to cleverly lead us through from Celts and Romans to modern day, explaining how the financial city had evolved. Would highly recommend this tour for tourists and Londoners alike. read less Jane Inge11/06/2024Unique, historic, one of a kind! Unique, historic, one of a kind! — Arjun was amazing!

We were in London for a few days and wanted to do some fun sightseeing. This tour far exceeded what we could have ever dreamed of! To say it was magical is an understatement. Our guide, Arjun was so knowledgeable, fun, interesting and an AMAZING storyteller of all things City of London and its history with the Dragons and much more! We saw and visited places we never would have been able to see or find on our own. We packed a lot into 3 hours and totally got our moneys worth and then some! By the end of the tour we felt like long lost friends and we walked away feeling truly enchanted! This was the highlight of our trip! We will be back to do another tour with Arjun! Highly, highly recommend!

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 Alan Robinson3/27/2026Great Tour and Loved the experience!

More reviewsWow! Unique experience of London. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the unique city of London tour with Arjun. 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 mireillea9558/01/2025Tour Tour — I had the most wonderful tour today.

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.

More reviewsMemorable voyage across time. In 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 aditii8611/01/2024
