We’ll uncover the story behind the City’s establishment two thousand years ago and point out locations where Roman relics are still visible today, its resilience in the face of fire and combat, the grisly history of the Tower of London, the City’s age-old pub, and the simplest method to penetrate the vaults of the Bank of England!

Engaging and informative - I would thoroughly recommend this tour. Booked for myself and my two teen sons because one of them is very into history.
The tour was engaging for all ages and covered a good number of sights in the area.
The weather was wet which was unfortunate but we still enjoyed the experience.

Entertaining & knowledgeable! - I know London and The City (Square Mile) in particular, but I learnt a phenomenal amount from Tom in the hour or so that the tour lasted; all of which was delivered in a thoroughly entertaining way.

Exceptional teacher and entertaining tour! - Tom took us on an amazing ~2 hour wander through the history of the City of London. He’s an exceptional and entertaining teacher. While I’m quite familiar with the area, I learned a ton of new facts and interesting bits of lore on the walk. Highly recommend his tours as a way to deep dive into London!
