As the arteries, alleyways and alleys of the historic center of London reveal their well-kept secrets, you will learn how this ancient city has evolved.

Who would have thought that this Roman colony, founded at the beginning of our era, would become a capital on a European scale and a platform for international finance?

Through this visit we will discuss the key moments that shaped the ancient fortified city during its 2000 years of history.

Along the way we'll see London's smallest sculpture, one of Charles Dickens favorite restaurants, and even a famous door that Harry Potter fans will recognize. Will also be mentioned some of the characters who have left their imprint indelibly on the history of the City, as this goose become mascot of a local market or this baker at the origin of a terrible event!

Maxime made us discover many places we don't see qd we are just tourists like us. For each place, he told us a story. This makes London more touching, more intimate. I really liked this garden in the church in the middle of the new buildings of the city. Thank you very much, Maxime, you are a great storyteller. We were lucky bcp

Our guide Maxime, a storyteller, storyteller and legend maker, was on his little onions to share his discoveries and passion for the world city. We spent 2h30 in the heart of the city, historic heart, between the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral. We will come back to discover the other circuits!
