Tour description

Are you visiting London and want to understand where it all began ?

This is not just a stroll through the City. It's a journey through time, from Roman Londinium to the skyscrapers that now dominate Europe's most influential financial skyline.

We'll walk along the banks of the Thames, cross the famous wobbly bridge , and delve into the oldest part of the city to discover how London survived the plague , the Great Fire of 1666 , and the Blitz bombings… and how, after each tragedy, it was reborn stronger.

But this route goes beyond the classic story.

We will also explore the contrast between past and present:

  • Where Shakespeare triumphed with his works.
  • Where a fire changed the city's design forever.
  • Where decisions are made today that affect the global economy.
  • And where legends of betrayals, executions, and royal jewels still survive.


During the tour we will see:

  • 🎭 Shakespeare's Globe
  • 🌉 Millennium Bridge
  • St. Paul's Cathedral
  • 🔥 The Monument (Great Fire)
  • 🏰 Leadenhall Market
  • 🗼 Tower of London
  • 🌉 Tower Bridge
  • 🌆 The City's stunning skyline (Gherkin, Sky Garden and more)


It's the perfect tour whether it's your first day in London or you've been here for a while and want to really understand the city.

Because London cannot be understood just by looking at buildings.
You understand by listening to their stories.

👉 Book now and discover the City like you've never seen it before.
