This is definitely a must-have tour for history lovers! I learned quite a lot. Enjoyed the side references to the The Last Kingdom.

Great off beaten tour of London off

Lia_A, Nov 2024
Argun gave us such an informative and educational tour of City of London. An off the beaten path tour with not-so-typical sights and stops. If you love history you would like this tour.
