Cut to AD 43, witness the Romans marching into London through your time machine, the black heritage cab. You're advised to charge your imagination batteries overnight, to view the special effects with clarity.

History lovers be prepared with your questions, the tour guide is a keen Londoner and historian. Dare to peek into the ‘Dead Man’s Hole’. Enjoy (or endure) the Execution site on Tower Hill and smirk at the origin of that well-used phrase ‘Can I hang with you?’ Old Roman Wall to Roman Amphitheatre, we ensure drama never ceases at the World Heritage Site of The Tower of London.

Get ‘hung, drawn and quartered’ in the tiny little medieval streets from London’s less glamorous past. Drift into the stories of the ‘Great Fire of London’, ‘Braveheart’, Body Snatchers, Gallows of Old Newgate Prison and the World famous Criminal Courts of Justice – The Old Bailey…we’ll keep ‘em coming. Till you’re ready to join the history club like the rest of us.

    This was a fantastic half day tour. We had a variety of age ranges (18 - 81) with some mobility challenges, Greg made it easy for the entire group to participate. Based upon the location of our hotel, we started with the Medieval and worked our way back to Roman times. Greg's knowledge of London's history is broad and deep. The Temple of Mirtha 'experience' was amazing. If you are interested in the Roman history of London, our entire party recommends this tour. Additionally we whole heartedly recommend Greg!

  • Excellent tour of London

    Great tour of the Roman wall, the sundial, and the George. Guide Mark was really good, listened to my interests and adapted well as we went along. Lots of great things I hadn’t seen before in London.

  • A terrific spin through Roman London

    I was looking for a walking tour that leaned more Roman than Medieval, so I sent Greg a note about that and he customized the entire experience into an unforgettable day! Greg took us to the starting point of Roman London, on a walk along the Thames, past the Tower and along the route of the Wall. We went down into the Amphitheatre ruins, into the Guildhall which happened to be open, and finished off at the Bloomberg exhibition, racking up well over 10,000 steps in the process. Greg was patient with our many questions, generous with his time, and proved a knowledgeable, personable and friendly guide. Highly recommend!
