Arjun is a good storyteller. He draws you into the story. Sometimes it was difficult to follow the story completely, but he answered all questions clearly.
Forest_S, Nov 2025
Took us to so many places you would never even know was there. All around the city of London. So knowledgeable! DRAGONS!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for joining the tour and for your enthusiastic feedback! Delighted you enjoyed discovering hidden corners of London and all the dragon stories along the way. It was a pleasure sharing this tour with you.
Robert_T, Sep 2025
Arjun was very knowledgeable and passionate about this subject matter. We could tell he continued to research to expand his knowledge even more.
The tour was well paced and covered a lot of distance, but with the stops along the way, it was not tiring at all.
Highly recommend for topics that other tours probably skip right over, but are rich in history and ever present on our daily routes.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure sharing London’s hidden history and exploring lesser-known stories with you. I’m delighted you found the tour both engaging and comfortable—hope to see you again on another walk!
Ashley_H, Sep 2025
Great tour if you are looking for something private and under the surface. I smiled the whole time and felt like I was seeing something that I never would have found in my own.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for joining the tour and sharing your experience. It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring London’s hidden side and discovering new places off the beaten path. Your enthusiasm made the walk memorable!

This was by far the most beautiful walk I have taken so far in the beautiful city of London! I literally got goose bumps during the tour and was even deeply moved in some places. My personal intention for this tour still resonates with me, days later.
This walk with Arjun is highly recommended for anyone interested in history and mysticism.

Namaste.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for such a heartfelt review. It was wonderful to walk together and witness how London’s history and mysticism deeply resonated with you. I’m glad the journey left a lasting impression. That means the world to me :)
Hope to cross paths again!

A unique tour which explores the mythical side of London. Really interesting and covered sites that I might otherwise have missed.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you Louise. Much appreciated.
Linda_c, Oct 2024
Remarkable tour with unexpected highlights. Argen opened up our eyes to ancient London sites and mystical beliefs. I admire his wealth of knowledge and his enthusiasm. Best walking tour I’ve been on!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you Linda, very glad to be able to show you around :)
Jacqui_L, Oct 2024
Arjun was so informative! He knows his history! He added lots of fun facts! We had a small group, which made it very personable! Lots of walking, but we made many stops. Easy to understand!!!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your feedback and all the steps! Wonderful to take you on the tour.
Lesley_C, Oct 2024
This was a very informative and interesting tour. I confess that I missed the dragon on top of a church weathervane. The visit to the Mithraneaum was quite interesting. My only disappointment was that the Temple Church was not open to visitors.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you Lesley, thank you for coming on this tour with me..

I went with my family (two adults, two children age 16 and 14) and we all loved this tour. We learned lots of London history, and were also helped to see some shared ancestorial connections with other cities/countries, too. These show up in repeated shapes, forms and symbols scattered around the old City of London, most of which I'd never know to notice before. I particularly liked the pace of this tour, and that there was a lovely balance of exciting mysticism with real history. It was a mind/body/spirit exercise, with a wonderful guide who you can see loves his work. We enjoyed a peaceful, thoughtful afternoon and can recommend this tour wholeheartedly!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you Christy, privileged to to be your guide.
Wendy_H, Aug 2024
Guide gives you a great information and makes you think of things from another perspective. 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
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Apologies Wendy, it was a learning experience for me too. I only saw this review now(!) - Can you contact me so I can try sending you the pdf again.
Amber_H, Jul 2024
My sister and I found this tour online and booked on a whim. 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! This tour is a must!
Amy_M, Jun 2024
The Dragon Tour with Arjun was so rich, deep and truly heart and eye opening. I would do it again tomorrow! Thank you, Arjun for taking us on this journey through the City of London, through time and history and into the true nature of reality. Such an opening experience that continues to ripple out.
Gwenn_L, May 2024
This was a lovely way to spend a couple hours strolling along streets and back courtyards learning about history and symbols. Much more emphasis on the earth and spiritual influences than you hear in other tours of the city. Good value for the time and money spent.
julie_r, Apr 2024
This is a great tour if you’re looking for something a bit different. Full of iconography, our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts & perspectives on history & the events that makes London City what it is today. We went on a Sunday, two stops on the journey were closed but this was made up in extra time at other sites and images provided of the closed venues. Overall, very enjoyable!
Michelle_B, Apr 2024
Our guide was intelligent, patient, prepared, accommodating. He waited when we were running late. He shared his wealth of information in a thoughtful way. He had alternative stops when some were closed. He asked us questions and engaged my 11yo daughter.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for joining me. It was my privilege.
Best wishes to you both.
Satbir_T, Mar 2024
Thank you Arjun for a very memorable tour. It was beyond my expectations and I am grateful to my daughter who suggested it.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Wonderful to show you both around, thank you for joining me.
Arvinder_D, Mar 2024
A tour like no other. You are taken on a journey through time that is not only an eye opening, story telling of historical pasts but you also see things from a different angle. I would recommend this and make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes! Loved the experience :-)
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for your feedback! Honoured to share this story with you :)
Vicki_G, Nov 2023
Our guide was great and we did this as a work group and really enjoyed it. The research done was informative and interesting.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
I'm glad to hear the whole group enjoyed. Lovely to meet you all 😀
margaret_m, Nov 2023
The 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.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for coming on the tour. Its alwways very rewarding to see children responding so well.
Linda_C, Jul 2023
The most interesting part of this tour was the hidden Roman Temple. Who knew that there is still so much evidence of Roman times hidden under modern London. The leisurely pace was nice and out guide was knowledgeable about the symbolism used throughout history. This was an enjoyable activity away from the crowds.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour :)
Roger_E, Jun 2023
This tour took us back in time to pre-1000 AD with the London Stone, through history and artifacts from dragons to phoenixes to churches. We learned about Druids and Romans at a pace we could take it all in. Our tour guide, Argent, was very knowledgeable and kept this moving at a comfortable pace while explaining how various things: water, rivers, grounding, and artifacts are all tied together in the quest for spiritual growth. A very worthwhile afternoon! Excellent, thought provoking conversations.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you Roger, very glad to hear that you received the tour so well. Honoured :)
Matthew_S, Apr 2023
What a great tour! 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.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you very much. I very much appreciated meeting you and our time together.
