This was a wonderful tour with smart and kind and interesting guide Khalid Winter. We learned and saw more in the 2.5 hours than the previous three days combined. Very informative and we learned a lot. Khalid addressed our interests and answered all questions. Next we look forward to listening to Khalid’s podcast…

i bought this experience for my husband for his birthday, but i have to say i enjoyed it just as much although im not crazy about history. Khalid told us really interesting stuff about the buildings and areas and i feel a whole different connection to London City now (we live in London, but not so central). I warmly recommnd this tour to anyone interested in history or just wanting to get to know about London and it's buildings in good company.

One of the best tours we have been on. We learned so much about London's past and saw the remnants of its Roman history and great stories about its rebirth after the great Fire and after WWII. Our tour guide was so informative and engaging
