5.00A great tour. The guide, Alan, had planned the walk well and led us to places we would never have found alone. He knows a great deal about Roman times and history in general. Informative and entertaining - highly recommended!

5.00The Roman past of London is a bit hidden and our host was a keen history buff who makes it come alive. I am not going to spoil it but a section of the Roman wall is in the most unexpected places in the City.... On top of that, our guide is a funny character and we had a great time (you will too!). Highly recommended.

5.00Should I return to London soon, I will not hesitate to resume a guided tour with Alan. He's French, but he's got a British humour. We had an exquisite time with Alan. He is of great culture and has an innate gift for captivating you and teaching you multiple anecdotes that you will not find anywhere else, in any paper guide, this experience is unique! Thank you for this amazing time 👍🏼🇫🇷

You can feel how passionate he is about history and how eager he is to share it. The experience is immersive, informative and perfectly paced. In a few hours, I felt like I was traveling through 2,000 years of history.

5.00I really enjoyed my London Walk. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought history to life with fascinating stories and little details I would have otherwise missed. We explored hidden corners of the city I’d never noticed before, even though I’ve walked past them many times. The pace was just right, and the group size made it easy to follow along and ask questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover London beyond the usual sights. Comfortable shoes are a must, and I’ll definitely be booking another walk with them!
