Terry has deep knowledge of the City of London and its financial history that make this tour such an excellent learning experience. He shares stories and facts that are very engaging and make the learning experience very fun. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the long ago history of London and/or the financial origins and financial developments of London.

Christine_L, May 2025

Absolutely brilliant experience! The Money and Power in the City sightseeing tour in London exceeded our expectations, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Terry. He brought centuries of financial and political history to life with such clarity, humor, and insight that even those of us without any background knowledge could easily follow along and stay engaged throughout. Terry has a real gift for storytelling—he made complex topics feel tangible and relevant, seamlessly connecting the past to the present. The tour was well-paced, thoughtfully structured, and packed with fascinating facts and anecdotes. It really opened our eyes to the hidden stories behind London’s financial district. Well worth the 2 hours—we highly recommend it to anyone curious about how money and power have shaped the City. Thanks, Terry!
