A fantastic way to dive straight in to the history of London from the old Roman Settlement of Londinium to the Great Financial City that it is today, 12th century churches stand dwarfed by the grand skyscraper neighbours they have. You will defiantly feel out of time as we go from one time period to the next street after street

Chris was an excellent tour guide for our London Past & Present Backstreet Historical Tour. He had great knowledge of the city and showed us many things we never would have discovered otherwise. He also had great suggestions for restaurants and other activities while we were in town. Highly recommended!

Chris was a knowledgeable and passionate guide who showed us things we would have never found on our own. Thoroughly enjoyable tour that I would highly recommend if you want something a little less touristy.

As a Londoner I wasn’t sure what to expect but really enjoyed the tour with Chris and learnt a lot of fun and new things about London. Great way to see London and explore and take the stress away from showing out of town friends and family around. You actually get to experience being a tourist in London yourself! Would definitely recommend!
Good tour of the City of London.

Great tour. Chris is a very good guide, professional but humorous at the same time. Very eye opening information about the City of London, truly intriguing stories. Overall good experience, recommend I can indeed I shall. Plus the guy loves his beer and gave a few tips for the best pubs in London and the City.
Informative, funny, highly enjoyable. Well recommended.

Absolute wonderful and informative walk of London to learn about its history and stories. It was a real pleasure and made me see London in a different way, even though I have lived here for many years, Our host Chris was an absolute joy. Funny, chock full of intriguing and interesting facts about all manner of things in London. How does he remember everything??? It's rare to really walk around London and appreciating it's hidden qualities and mercurial stories. Chris truly has a unique and entertaining way with words and his knowledge covered many interesting threads. I thoroughly recommend Tours that are Yours and look forward to going on another one very soon. Highly recommended.
