From times of the dominant Roman Empire to our current global civilization, London remains a captivating attraction for the influential and the ambitious. A guide will transport you two millennia back to explore the reasons why Rome chose ‘Londinium’ as its western border stronghold.

Fantastic! - Sonja was a wonderful guide. She was funny, knowledgeable and interesting and tailored the tour to our preferences. We couldn't say enough positive things about the tour and Sonja, therefore we booked her twice. Sonja's tour is definitely worth experiencing. Thank you - it was one of the best tours we've ever been on.
